A scalable product that offers an easy-to-use interface
Some of the product users feel that the solution's storage part should be increased, especially when compared to products like Yahoo, which is an old tool in the market that offers unlimited storage to users. Other platforms offer more storage sizes than Google. The storage part of the solution, especially the storage capability offered by Google Drive, needs to be increased. There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Functions well and has good features."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email. IAP can control the assets that only come from the dedicated company or IP address."
"Its capabilities have been very good overall and we've been very happy with it."
"The initial setup was easy, and it was just plug-and-play."
"As with AWS, the solution is easy to install."
"The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access."
"Since the solution works with Terraform, it makes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) easier."
"I find the GCS Portal to be particularly valuable. It is more user-friendly and easier to navigate compared to other cloud providers, such as AWS. I particularly appreciate the user interface of GCS."
"You can easily integrate it and fit the system to your organization's needs, and that's a very huge advantage."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"From a technical point of view, products are stable and scalable, and we do appreciate the personal touch the sales engineers (SE) support and development bring, as well as the personal touch of the sales support, the free online, and web-based training."
"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."
"This product allows us to actually send it straight from our email to the other person's email in a safe way, where we can meet all our regulations and still keep the data in our control."
"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"
"Safe-T SDA has allowed my organization to secure my office applications and makes it harder for hackers to be able to hack into my internal office web applications."
"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"If you are talking about virtual machines, our customers would say that this solution is not so stable because sometimes Google Cloud has host errors."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"The product is expensive. Its price needs improvement."
"The platform’s stability and scalability need improvement."
"We have to pay to use technical support. There are a lot of charges."
"The storage capacity of the product is an area that can be improved if it is made possible to increase it whenever you want."
"The product’s user interface must be more user-friendly and detailed."
"There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required."
"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."
"Better UI. A better UI for the people that manage all the processes of Safe-T. Some of the UI is not as intuitive as you would like it to be."
"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."
"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."
"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price of Google Cloud Platform is reasonable. However, Microsoft is the most cost-effective solution for us because of Azure's integration. And we already have licenses for Windows Server and the databases, so the price is attractive."
"Its price is good. For each server, we are saving $300 a month. We have at least thousands of servers. It is a huge cost reduction for us."
"We need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. It is an expensive and premium solution."
"It is expensive to scale up the solution."
"There are different pricing plans depending on data volumes and services, but it's comparable to other providers. The value and benefits depend on what we're developing and the specific use case."
"The licensing costs us $100,000 so pricing could be better."
"The solution's price is normal."
"There is a need to make yearly payments toward the solution's licensing."
