Google Cloud Storage Reviews

We're using Google Cloud Storage to run web services.

It's a cloud-based solution, so we are using Google Cloud and other clouds as well.

There are between 50 and 100 people using this solution in my organization.

We are mostly doing telephony and generic web services in the telephony.

I have been using this solution for about one year.

So far, we don't have extensive production experience with Google Cloud because we run our current production on our own hardware, which is based on the XCP-ng cluster, so I cannot comment on Google Cloud's stability in real production scenarios.

We are mostly using Kubernetes for scalability.

A lower cost, lower-end solution for a shared file system is missing. If you want a shared file system, you have to buy a server with the minimum capacity of one TB.

I would like to see a lower tier and better pricing for the capacity.

Even if it's not the price, I would like there to be an option to have less capacity for less money so that you could deploy a server that doesn't have a TB capacity,  like 100 GB for a fraction of the price. That would definitely help because for the various trial projects, that's a bit too much.

We use an open source solution called SAS. We're happy with it and use other services and the storage services like in AWS, but the usage is kind of marginal.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

I would recommend this solution for those who want to start using it.

We primarily use the solution for cloud storage.

Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use. It is easy as it is linked to our mail ID. 

We can save the data there so that, wherever we log in, we can log into our drive to download any file. We can show it in our drive, so the drive is always linked.

It is easy to use and comfortable.

This is a stable product.

The scalability is great.

It offers free storage of up to 15GB and then you have to pay a reasonable fee. 

Technical support has been fine.

It's actually quite complete and we don't have any issues with the solution. 

I've used the solution for a few years at this point. It's been a while. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and offers good performance. 

I'd rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's extremely scalable. 

Almost everyone uses the product. It's great. There are about 400 people on it.

We do not have plans to increase usage at this point. 

We've reached out to technical support once or twice, however, they easily provide the solutions.

We did not use a different solution previous to this. 

The solution does not need an elaborate setup as it is in the cloud. You don't need to deploy it. 

We do have to pay for additional storage, however, we don't mind paying. They do offer limited free storage up until 15GB, however, we are over that. There's a set payment per month.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I don't have any advice as almost everyone might be using it in India. It's quite prevalent. We'd recommend the solution to anyone. 

Google Cloud Storage is primarily used for backing up my devices, to sync my photos and videos.

The performance is good.

I haven't had any issues with the security of Google Cloud Storage.

I use it on the phone the majority of the time. On the phone, I appreciate how seamless it is. You don't have to be concerned about it because it's thinking in the background.

It is difficult to say what could be improved because it works in the background for me.

I haven't done much with it on a laptop, but when I first logged in, it was a little more complex than Apple. 

It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple. However, I believe they have simplified it in the most recent version. But I haven't had much access to it in a long time.

I have worked with Google Cloud Storage for three years.

We always use the most recent version. My phone automatically updates.

I am satisfied with the stability of Google Cloud Storage. I haven't had any issues with the stability.

It is for my personal use and not used by the organization.

I will continue to use it on my own.

I have not had to contact technical support. I have had no experience with them.

I have worked with Enterprise Password Manager, Domain Name once or twice.

My phone came with it pre-installed. In terms of installation, I didn't have to do anything. Everything was easy.

In my opinion, it is well-priced. In general, it's fairly priced.

Initially, I was working with the free version, now, I have updated to the paid version.

I have paid for the first year, and it's reasonably priced for my needs.

If you are on an Android platform, I would highly recommend it, but it depends on the ecosystem. However, if you're an Android user, I believe it's the most universal one for the device.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

It's not for my personal use, but we use Google Cloud Storage for a special product for banks that offers it as a service as well.

The performance is good.

We are satisfied with the parameters of Google Cloud Storage.

The licensing fees could be reduced.

I have been working with Google Cloud Storage for four or five years.

Because it is a cloud solution, we are always working with the most recent version.

We are satisfied with the stability of Google Cloud Storage.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but we don't need a large number of users. We use it for four or five users, so it's not a large product.

We don't have plans to increase our usage.

I have not contacted technical support. I have not experienced any issues.

Previously, we worked with Azure.

I believe we switched the database. We used Azure's cloud before, which is very simple to use. I'm referring to Azure. But then we switched to a different database, and that's when we started using, Google Cloud Storage.

The initial setup is straightforward. There are no specific requirements.

Licensing fees could be better.

We pay a monthly subscription.

I would recommend this solution for anyone who is interested in using it.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage an eight out of ten.

We've been keeping documents in Google Cloud Storage. It's also where we keep photos and all our marketing files, e.g. posters, leaflets, etc. We're keeping everything on this solution.

From what I hear, Microsoft OneDrive is much better than this solution. The performance of Google Cloud Storage could still be improved. It could have better security.

I've been using Google Cloud Storage for three years.

Google Cloud Storage is a very stable solution.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable.

The technical support team for this solution is customer-friendly.

Installing Google Cloud Storage was very easy. It was something I could do myself.

This solution was implemented in-house.

We have 75 users working with Google Cloud Storage in our company. We have no plans of increasing usage currently.

This solution is very easy to use. We have only one IT guy who's responsible for running all the projects.

I'm recommending this solution to others who want to start using it.

We pay for the Google Cloud Storage license, but I have no idea whether it's yearly or monthly, because it's the company who takes care of it.

I'm rating Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

The primary use case is to store documents in various formats, enabling me to access them anywhere.

We have found synchronization to be a really useful feature. We synchronize documents from a personal machine to Google Cloud Storage, and in addition we make use of Google docs where we can easily create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets or even Powerpoint. Then it is really easy to access documents from anywhere.

It would be beneficial to manage duplicated documents better. For example, when conducting a search, it would be useful to indicate when files are the same or duplicate. You could have the same files in different folders and therefore if you are given a choice to decide what to do, that would be a nice feature. You could either delete or merge them. 

Also, it would be nice to have the possibility to convert video files that you have stored, compress them and store them in different formats. If I had a huge 3-5GB video file and I had the option to convert this to MP3 and compress it that would greatly reduce the file size that is being stored in the cloud.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately 2 years

Regarding scalability, from a users point of view you are not installing anything on your machine. Scalability is not visible to me as an end user.

There has been no need to contact Google for any form of support, I have faced no issues to date. 

There is no initial installation to setup, as it's cloud based storage all you need is a web browser and you can upload and download files right away. 

The free subscription with Google Cloud Storage provides a lower amount of GB storage, if you want to upgrade to more you have to pay an annual subscription. 

We looked at OneDrive and DropBox as alternative solutions. 

I primarily use the solution for storing documents. 

It's my understanding that the solution is secure.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is very good.

There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use.

While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems. 

I'd also like it to be more clear in terms of who is accessing the files and when. I'd like to know if and when someone downloads something or if a file has been manipulated, and who has accessed or changed it, in order to protect our company's most sensitive information.

In my domain, you receive a lot of mail and a lot of publicity marketing and you need to trash them. I don't. One month ago, they told me that I have the maximum allowed storage and I would have to make space in my database. I don't have time to do that. Now, I check my email every day and I trash all things not necessary, and I'm not putting photos in it. I don't know why my database is already full. If you don't keep on top of deleting items and wait until it's almost full, it's so hard to go back and delete so much content.

I first started using the solution a few years ago. It's been a while. I would estimate it's been about six years or so at this point. 

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.

The product can scale up if you need it to.

I've never had to reach out to Google's technical support. I haven't had any issues with it. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be if you contacted them.

There's no installation process as the solution is cloud-based. You don't need to upload or install anything.

The version I use is open-source. It doesn't cost anything to use. 

I simply use this solution for my own personal purposes. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

I'm helping the company build a data warehouse and expand it to utilize the current platform and build new machine-learning operations. All of the stack is currently stuck with the Google stack. I use BigQuery and their Data Studio to use as a data warehouse. I'm looking for another platform to build a machine-learning operation on. ProtectAI is good, however, it's quite new.

It's user-friendly. We find it to be very easy to use.

They also have the SDK for the development team to integrate with their application, their system, which has been useful.

The product is quite stable. 

Google is targeting customers right now in the Vietnam market, and therefore, they have lots of promotions. They also have a lot of teams in Vietnam, so they give a lot of support and troubleshooting. 

The product can scale. 

The security is pretty good.

Comparing to Azure Machine Learning, Microsoft Azure is much better and they have more experience than Google. The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.

I would love to use Amazon S3 as it's more user-friendly and the SDK is better. It's easy to let the developer implement it, whereas Google Cloud Storage is hard for the developer to use. The SDK is quite complicated.

The security could always be better.

I have used the solution since I joined my current company. That was one and a half years ago. I have a little less than two years of experience. 

The stability of the solution is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can. Compared to other options, it's quite good.

The service and system technology team serves around 2,000 people.

Technical support has been great so far. Google has a lot of teams in the country that have been really helpful and responsive. They give us a lot of attention when we need to troubleshoot. 

I've worked with Amazon and Azure in the past as well. 

Since Google has recently targeted Vietnam, they've been offering many customers in the country lots of great promotions and incentives. 

It's about nearly $10,000 USD to use the services on GCP, however, Google gave us a good deal which is why we originally went with them.

We do pay a monthly fee to Google. We use a lot of their services. 

As a cloud solution, we're always on the latest and most up-to-date version of the product. Google keeps it updated for us and we do not have to update anything manually.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty satisfied with the solution overall. 

While AWS S3 is the best, and Microsoft is pretty good, I'd still recommend Google.
