Featured Reviews

Manimaran Tannimalai - PeerSpot reviewer
User interface consistency facilitates seamless project planning and design for specialized tasks
While Google has made efforts to address SAP loads, the company lacks a product specialist focus. They cover a broad range of products, which might affect their ability to compete well in certain niches. Google's strength lies in their adapted approach to specific tasks, as seen with SAP loads. Generally, their focus is widespread.
PriyankShrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"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."
"The solution is very flexible."
"From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic."
"Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use."
"The best feature is ease of use."
"The performance is good."
"Google Cloud Storage is fast, and it's scalable."
"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
 

Cons

"Pricing remains challenging, especially for SMEs, making cloud services costlier than on-premises solutions."
"I do not find any areas needing improvement currently."
"Having more storage space would be an improvement."
"Protection is an area in the product where improvements are required."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office."
"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten."
"We don't pay for a Google Cloud Storage subscription."
"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."
"The price of the license could be cheaper. We are on an annual subscription."
"I pay monthly for Google Cloud Storage. It could be cheaper, but for now, it's okay."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want. Considering the features that Google Cloud Storage provides, the pricing is reasonable. So far, I'm still using the free service from them because I'm able to meet my requirements with the free subscription. Maybe, in the future, if a storage requirement comes, I'll pay for it or go for the license."
"In general, it's fairly priced."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
