Involves an initial setup phase that is straightforward in nature
Pros and Cons
- "The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
- "The tool's grouping option layout and cost are areas of concern where improvements are required."
What is our primary use case?
In my company, we have only dealt with the product's PoC phase. Even in my previous organization, we were only focused on the product from a PoC perspective. My company needs to do some evaluations and take care of the PoC phase to see if the product meets some of our customers' requirements. To validate whether the product meets the requirements of our company's customers, we will have to conduct a use case test and submit the report stating that the solution would be able to fulfill the set requirements.
What needs improvement?
The tool's grouping option layout and cost are areas of concern where improvements are required.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
In case of some breakdowns, how good it would be to get support from Google is not something that I have experienced yet. As long as it is running, the tool is fine.
In my previous company, around 20 to 40 people used the tool.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.
The requirements of the deployment process related to the product can vary based on the customers' use cases. If the use cases are simple, the deployment part becomes easy. If one has a lot of use cases to deal with, the deployment part will be a very detailed process.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a need to make payments towards the license in charges attached to the product on a yearly basis.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Against GCP, my company had evaluated other options like AWS and Azure. Considering the ease of use and the management's decision, my company chose GCP.
What other advice do I have?
My company evaluates whether the product is capable of fulfilling the requirements of our customers, and we may even do it with the other OEM tools in the market. Based on the use cases given to my company by its customers, we evaluate whether Azure, AWS, or GCP can be helpful. Among the three cloud options, the ones that are able to fulfill our company's customers' requirements will be evaluated, and their report will be submitted to the manager. Based on the costing part, customers can decide which OEM tool would be the best for them. My company does technical and financial evaluation of the products.
As there were no operational changes and only initial implementation was required, which was a part of the PoC phase, there wasn't much of an impact on the user experience.
All the three service providers, like GCP, Azure and AWS are used to meet the same requirements. I would say that the same benefits are made available to users by all the service providers. The differentiation part can be considered only on the basis of the costs.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

Enterprise Agile Consultant at Secret
Useful file storage, collaborative environment, and accessible from anywhere
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access."
- "Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has certain limitations as a document or file management system, especially for non-workspace accounts. Manual management is required for most actions, and group management can be challenging. The process of managing permissions individually is time-consuming and not very efficient. For education purposes, the collaboration tools for working on files, assignments, and groups need improvement. The existing tools are inadequate and can be difficult to work with. Additionally, the grading books for teachers are not very useful and require improvement."
What is our primary use case?
The Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is utilized to store not only backup files but also actively used files. By storing all my files in Google, I am able to access them from any location as long as I have an Internet connection. One aspect that I appreciate about Google is the consistency of its apps for connecting to Google Drive across all platforms. This uniformity ensures that the functionality is the same regardless of the device being used, making it convenient to work with my files from any device.
For online teaching purposes, I employed the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy which proved to be user-friendly for my students to learn and navigate. It also proved to be an excellent platform for collaborative projects, even when individuals were unable to meet in person.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access.
What needs improvement?
Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has certain limitations as a document or file management system, especially for non-workspace accounts. Manual management is required for most actions, and group management can be challenging. The process of managing permissions individually is time-consuming and not very efficient. For education purposes, the collaboration tools for working on files, assignments, and groups need improvement. The existing tools are inadequate and can be difficult to work with. Additionally, the grading books for teachers are not very useful and require improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for more than 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is excellent. In my 10 years of using the solution, I have only had it go down twice.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is scalable. My university used it for 50,000 people using it.
We have 110 people using the solution in my organization.
How are customer service and support?
I have used support once. The free version of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is subpar since there is no tech support available. Conversely, the paid version is exceptional with prompt and effective customer support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Box, Dropbox, and a home file server. I switched to the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy because my university used it and I did not want to use multiple solutions. Additionally, the others were more expensive.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is easy. However, it can be confusing for students because the help files could improve.
To sign up for personal Google One or Google Workspace, you can easily do so and make the payment on your own. However, for educational purposes, the process is more involved. You need to have a Google representative come out and give a presentation, and you have to learn the mock management which requires more effort.
What about the implementation team?
A single individual can deploy the personal version of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy. However, the education version requires assistance from Google or must be done by them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is inexpensive for personal use.
What other advice do I have?
We have one IT administrator for the maintenance of the solution.
Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is good for teamwork but not for an enterprise solution. It does not have business features.
I rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy a ten out of ten.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
