Google Cloud Storage Reviews

We use the product to build applications. 

The combination of Firebase features, including storage, the Firebase database, and authentication, has been the most valuable. Firebase offers Google authentication, which is convenient for our needs. Additionally, Firebase provides email authentication and Gmail authentication, which are easy to set up and integrate into our applications.

We utilize Google Cloud Storag's automated backup functionality for data backup. Once enabled, it automatically backs up our data at regular intervals. It is integrated with other services, such as Stripe, for collecting payments, and SendGrid for email communication.

It's easy to use Google Cloud Storage to manage data. You can create buckets and interact with the storage easily. However, we primarily use it in conjunction with other features, particularly Firebase, which provides storage options integrated within it. We haven't logged into GCP specifically to create buckets because the functionalities we need are already available within Firebase.

The tool should be cheaper. 

I have been using the product for four years. 

Google Cloud Storage is stable. 

Since using managed storage solutions, scalability hasn't been an issue. My company has 500 users. 

For deployment, we've been using Firebase, specifically Firebase Cloud Storage. Since it's a managed service, we didn't have to handle the deployment process ourselves. This aligns well with our design methodology of building the product, testing it, gathering user feedback, and making changes based on that feedback. You need a team of ten resources to handle the deployment. 

Before deciding on Google Cloud Storage, we evaluated other options. However, we ultimately chose Firebase, which includes Google Cloud Storage as part of its integrated package.

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

I use Google Cloud Storage in my company for email purposes, meaning we use it to manage our corporate emails.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a good product that we use with two exchange servers in place. My company doesn't use Google Classroom.

The product's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are required. The tool could be more user-friendly and offer more designs to users as it is currently very plain and straightforward.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for six months. I use the solution's latest version, which is quite good.

From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a very scalable solution.

Around 200 people in my company use the solution.

If new employees join our organization, then we may expand the use of the product.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy.

One person from the IT team who operates from the headquarters of our company situated in Istanbul deals with the deployment process of the product and speaks with the company's employees, making the whole process easy without any complaints.

Only IT staff members are required to take care of the product's deployment process.

The solution can be deployed in a month.

The in-house personnel of my company carried out the product's installation phase

The product works completely fine, and because of that, the return on investment is very good.

Approximately 800 to 1,000 USD is paid towards the licensing costs of the solution. The solution is neither expensive nor cheap, meaning it is moderately priced. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the platform as a backend for our mobile applications. 

One area for product improvement would be better synchronization across regions. Currently, the performance can be slow if you access storage from different global locations.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than ten years.

I rate the product stability a nine. 

The platform is scalable, and I have not encountered limits on the amount of data. However, scalability for regional access can be an issue, as performance may vary depending on the user's location relative to the storage region.

The initial setup process is straightforward. 

The product pricing is reasonable. 

We integrate Google Cloud Storage with Google Firebase. Firebase provides an SDK to develop mobile applications and store files in Google Cloud Storage.

As a technical person, I find managing data within the platform easy. I would rate it as a nine. It is both fast and secure.

The solution's most valuable features are availability, feasibility, and reachability. Google Cloud Storage is the best solution because it is easy to handle. New users can easily grab this technology and start using it because it's a user-friendly product.

I have been using the solution for the last two years. My storage team is working with Google Storage. My storage team has connections to the ISPs, and they are migrating their data from one location to another with the help of 3PAR.

Recently, during the crosstalk issue with the Microsoft patches, one of our team members could access the data from the Google Cloud. Our data was available even when the servers went down, were not reachable, or had issues.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

It's easy for everyone to understand their parts, and you can easily migrate it to anything in the environment.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Every cloud storage opportunity is the best for us. For example, if you go with cloud storage for your applications or any data that is on the organization, including SharePoint, it is the best way to ensure the redundancy of your data. I rate the solution a nine out of ten for its ease of use. Google Cloud Storage is a user-friendly solution, and any new user can use it.

I would advise users using other storage services to try Google Cloud Storage once. It is free and has more features. Google Gmail provides one TB of storage, and you can store any kind of documentation there.

Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half or nine out of ten.

My company had to deal with two to three projects using Google Cloud Storage. My company operates as an agency and a software house. We work for multiple projects of multiple clients as an agency in server keys for multiple clients. Different clients have different requirements, so my company uses multiple platforms.

Currently, we are not working too much on Google Cloud Storage, so we are not talking too much about what needs improvement in the solution. As per what your company's client wanted, we had only three deployments associated with Google Cloud Storage.

The price of Azure products is high. In my opinion, the prices of Google solutions should be lowered for businesses.

I have experience with Google Cloud Storage. My company works for the clients who use Google Cloud Storage. If customers want Azure, we provide it. If the customers want Amazon, we provide Amazon. If our customers prefer Google, then we offer it to them. Most of our customers approach our company for deployment. My company operates as an implementer.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is a reliable product.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Currently, my company has only dealt with three requirements associated with the tool. Our deployments are mostly on Azure. Our company's clients suggest that they want Google Cloud Storage deployed on their applications.

I am satisfied with the technical support team for the solution. The support engineer's response time is slow. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup phase can be difficult for a business student working for the first time in Google Cloud Storage.

The solution is deployed on a public cloud.

The solution can be deployed in four to five hours.

Currently, the tool does not offer cost-saving benefits. Compared to Azure, Google Cloud Storage does not help with cost savings.

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten.

Google Cloud Storage's support is not fully available on YouTube or through Google itself, especially compared to tools from Azure. If you have any queries or problems, you can use Google to find solutions related to products from Google, Azure, and Amazon. In Google Cloud Storage, some decisions are difficult for a user, especially for those who are not familiar with the current scenario.

The tool's multi-regional storage options have been beneficial for operations since my company works on the cloud depending on the requirements of our clients. For a client who, on a regional basis, is hosting an app with the help of APIs, we provide all of our mechanisms and business models depending on the client's requirements.

Currently, my company has not integrated any services in Google Cloud Storage.

Currently, Google Cloud Storage is not easy for any user. That is why the users are suffering with the platform. Anytime I compare Google Cloud to Azure. Azure platform is complicated, but it is available on Google Cloud. When it comes to Google Cloud, the solution's support is not easy to handle for any new user. As an experienced person who is working on Google Cloud, I know things can be okay. As a new user of Google Cloud, one may face a little bit of difficulty.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for Firestore. We used a cloud call to run the database. We also use BigQuery for data logs.

Google Cloud Storage is a top cloud product on the Google Cloud Platform.

We have used many Kubernetes clusters and run a GK and GKA with a pilot. It’s performance is good. It is flexible and simple to use.

The solution’s stability could be improved.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than five years.

The product is stable.

The solution is scalable.

15 users are using this solution.

If we have the support ticket, we will get a quick response.

The initial setup is simple.

Google has the reliability and security.

I recommend the solution. It is very easy to manage the data.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to store files and photos. You can store whatever information you have on the cloud.

The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to access, use and its availability.

The pricing for the licensing of the solution could be better. I am not sure about the reliability of the solution.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for nine to ten years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

It is a stable product.

More than 1,000 employees in my company use the solution. We do have plans to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product.

I have contacted the technical support team of Google. The responses from the technical team are fast.

The solution's initial setup process was easy. One month was required to carry out the deployment process of the solution. Two to three people who were administrators and developers were required for the deployment process.

The implementation process was carried out with the help of our in-house team.

My company is paying a yearly subscription for the licensing of the solution. It is an expensive solution.

Before choosing Google Cloud Storage, during our evaluation process, we evaluated a solution called SharePoint.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for storage.

It's helpful for storage. It makes collaboration with colleagues easy.

The workspace is quite convenient.

We also use Google Meet to handle meetings.

It can be used anywhere at any time. The access is very helpful.

It is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The internal functionality is very good. 

It is easy to set up.

The capacity could be improved. We'd like more storage and hope they reduce the costs for increased storage.

We have some people not using storage at all and some who are using all of their allotment. We'd like to be able to have a certain amount, and those that need more have access to more, and those that need less can have their allotment shared with those that need more. The way it is spread should be more flexible. 

It is hard to migrate to another product if we want to.

I've been using the solution for two years.

It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. The uptime is around 100%.

The solution can scale well. However, we'd like it to be easier to scale so that people can have more flexible storage amounts. 

We have around 100 people using the solution.

We do not have plans to increase usage. 

We did use Office 365 previously. It wasn't really part of an enterprise experience. However, Google and Microsoft have similar applications on their clouds. 

The initial setup could be simple. We can set up the solution and then open up the console and configure it how we want. We have one person that can deploy the solution. It doesn't take a large team. If you have DNS skills, it's an easy task.

We used a team in-house to deploy the solution.

This is a cloud-based solution, and we are always using the latest version.

I wouldn't recommend the solution. If it was easy to migrate to another solution, I'd be more likely to recommend it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are flexibility and sustainability.

Google Cloud Storage can improve by having better integration and migration tools.

There's a concept called parallel runs. Whenever you are migrating from an assets platform to the target platform. To some extent, once you migrate into the Google Cloud Storage platform, none of the customers are ready to decommission their existing platform. In this case, you have to parallelly verify both the assets and migrated systems for them to work. Google Cloud Storage as of now, doesn't have any parallel verification system, while Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure do. Adding this feature would add value and enable them to handle large-scale migration engagement.

Google Cloud Storage needs to have a complete end-to-end solution to be competitive with the other offerings.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately four years.

Google Cloud Storage is a stable solution.

Most of the clients that are using Google Cloud Storage are small-scale companies. Insurance companies and banks typically use Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

I have found Google Cloud Storage to be scalable but has limits.

We have reached out to Google if there are any changes in the storage or any other issues. As a Google partner, which gives us a different level of support.

I previously used Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. 

Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure have an end-to-end solution. Google Cloud Storage, recently entered the market, they don't have their own solutions for migration and transformation, they are depending on any other service providers.

Google Cloud Storage's initial setup is simple.

The price of Google Cloud Storage is reasonable when compared to other similar solutions.

I rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

My primary use case of this solution is file storage. You can store almost everything in there—files of all formats—and the storage capacity is pretty good. I believe the drive capacity is 15GB or so. This is a cloud-based solution, so you're always using the latest version. 

Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements. 

Google Cloud Storage could be improved by increasing the drive capacity. 

I have been using this solution for many years now. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. The drive could have more capacity. There is easily a minimum of around 70% to 75% of users in my organization who use this Google Cloud Storage. 

I have never contacted technical support, but I know friends who have. My friends gave me very positive feedback about getting immediate support. I've heard Google's support is very good. 

I have used Dropbox too, but I usually prefer Google Cloud Storage. When I started using Google Cloud Storage, it was easy to use and met all my requirements, so I haven't switched back since. 

Since this is a cloud-based solution, installation is pretty straightforward.

I implemented this solution myself. 

I use the free version and have never paid for any extra storage. I have been able to manage in whatever free spaces are given. 

I rate this solution a 9.5 to 10 out of 10.
