Cloud automation has improved development efficiency and supports secure MFA and SSO
The best features in Google Cloud Identity are their cloud, their VMs, and their cloud VMs, which are too good compared to OCI. Using Google Cloud Identity is beneficial in terms of finance as we are always doing automation and AI, and it is definitely the best. I use multi-factor authentication with Google Cloud Identity. Regarding how Google Cloud Identity helps to improve security, I can say that security is something everyone is using. I do not feel any different. After this, everything will be JWT token and all things we are using. I do not feel any difference in there. I have used the SSO feature, single sign-on, with Google Cloud Identity. In a few words, how Google Cloud Identity affected user management within my organization is that it is not done for my organization but for one of my clients only. I already have the ADs there, but still, it is the best. I think the reporting tools of Google Cloud Identity are good. I cannot comment on these kinds of things for this particular product.

Unified cloud visibility has simplified compliance reporting and improved incident response
Regarding performance and speed scenarios for JupiterOne, queries sometimes take too long, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex graph relationships that can slow down significantly. There is also a steep learning curve, as J1QL, their query language, is powerful but requires time to learn. New users struggle initially, and better onboarding tutorials are needed. Rate limiting issues can be frustrating, as API rate limits sometimes cause problems. Price transparency for JupiterOne is an area for improvement. The price is not publicly listed, so you have to contact sales for smaller teams or startups, which becomes a barrier. Another issue is alert noise, as sometimes too many alerts are generated. Better filtering and prioritization are needed so that critical issues do not get lost. JupiterOne is very good when compared to other cloud asset platforms overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs, and it's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Everything is relatively good and overall, the product itself is good."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP, and it becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"I have definitely seen a positive return on investment from JupiterOne in a few concrete ways."
"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."
"JupiterOne positively impacts our organization by giving us centralized visibility into our cloud assets, identities, vulnerabilities, and their relationships."
"Using JupiterOne, I have observed an increase in transaction success rates to 99% without improper data, translating to 99% time saved."
"As for return on investment, JupiterOne has been widely used and is one of the sought-after applications for asset management for us, creating alerts and featuring automation with a dashboard, making it a one-in-all solution."
"JupiterOne helps us aggregate all those things on one single platform, allowing us to quickly identify what environment that asset lives in and what type of asset it is."
 

Cons

"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"In Google, if we want support they are very slow to respond."
"Overall, I would give a zero out of 10 for Google's support. There is no easy way to navigate issues without paid consultation, making it quite frustrating."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"Regarding performance and speed scenarios for JupiterOne, queries sometimes take too long, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex graph relationships that can slow down significantly."
"JupiterOne could improve regarding the cost, as enterprise deployment can be costly."
"However, I think there are still many improvements to make, especially regarding user experience because finding the number of entities can be complicated; it is often buried deep in the interface."
"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."
"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"The solution is not expensive."
