Provides an identity portal for our applications and is a reliable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect."
  • "The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better."

What is our primary use case?

For Google Cloud Platform (GCP), we use it as our infrastructure. We host our infrastructures and create our machines, services and automation pipelines. For Google Cloud Identity, we use it as an identity portal for all of our applications. In addition, the internal application for the tools is used for monitoring the product.

What is most valuable?

The Cloud Identity in GCP is very good and reliable. It can be published fast. Also, Google Cloud Identity allows you to create groups and give access by group instead of by user. It allows you to create different access policies for every component of new infrastructure, and from a security perspective, this is good.

What needs improvement?

The Google Cloud UI has a lot of bugs, and they are working on enhancing it. There are a lot of things that need to be enhanced. For example, sometimes, the snapshot portal makes you have a schedule to create multiple snapshots when you have a huge infrastructure hosted on Google Cloud. Sometimes the browser or the UI hangs when looking for a specific snapshot. Also, Google Cloud support responds very quickly, but the UI still needs to have more enhancements related to the performance.

The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better. For example, they have a solution called "always patching," which needs to be enhanced. It is not purely a SaaS solution. It should be mostly platform as a solution, not software.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. However, it would be more stable if Google cared more about the UI.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Most of the teams in our company use this solution. The number of people needed for deployment and maintenance depends on whether it is a small or medium company solution. Only one person is needed for a small environment, while two or three are required for a medium environment. The team that supports the solution comprises network and security people. We plan to increase our usage of the solution as our customer base increases.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good, and they are very responsive. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I personally have used Azure and AWS in the past.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy, and it was just plug-and-play. If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect. It allows us to build an entire infrastructure for a startup or medium company in one hour. To do this, we need to try the script with the machines we need. Next, we need to define the CPU, memory and application we want to install on the machine. Then we can click and run the playbook or the tier forms script and go back after hours. By then, everything has been created, and we'll have an infrastructure that can handle a small startup.

The deployment depends on the complexity. If it is a small deployment, it might take less time, but a larger deployment will take more. For example, if we want to use a machine on GCP, it might take about two to three minutes, but if we have a huge deployment for multiple machines with multiple loop balances, records, and firewall rules, it might take 40 minutes to one hour. We completed the deployment in-house.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, I would recommend planning for everything and keeping it simple. It is also important to monitor consumption on the Google Cloud to ensure you are not paying for something you are not using.

Most cloud providers have the same features, but the main difference between them is the solution's availability and cost. Most of the features are only utilized at 30% or 50%.

Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable."
  • "The solution should have better integration."

What needs improvement?

The solution should have better integration. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is up to par. 

How was the initial setup?

As with AWS, the solution is easy to install. 

50 or 60 days are needed for the deployment. 

What about the implementation team?

Around three or four people are needed for the deployment and maintenance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The customer purchases an annually sponsored license. 

What other advice do I have?

We have a maximum of around 20 customers making use of the solution. 

We support Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy, depending on the customer's architecture.

An efficient solution that can manage large databases with its speedy and high-processing capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features."
  • "Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution."

What is our primary use case?

Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy manages our organization's entire user database across the Middle East region for PwC. In addition, the solution is used to run virtual environments and storage solutions. It also serves our needs for AI or any other applications, including using Apps Script.

What is most valuable?

The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

I think the solution has some issues in document accessing and accessing of some data at times when you have automated scripts. So, maybe that could be made better in the solution. Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for four and a half years. Also, I am using the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution offers medium to high stability to its users.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Though I never used the solution from a scalability standpoint, I assume that its scalability would be fine.

How are customer service and support?

I never contacted the solution's technical support team because our organization has an internal IT department.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used Azure. However, my company never used Azure.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process was fine. I assume that one person is required for the deployment process of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the solution to those planning to use it in the future. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Reliable with good documentation and and an easy deployment
Pros and Cons
  • "It's reliable."
  • "The solution is quite expensive."

What is our primary use case?

This is a service. We use it for our business, for operations. 

What is most valuable?

This can be deployed easily. 

The solution is stable. It's reliable. 

There is good documentation available. There is a lot of information available online to help new users. 

What needs improvement?

It is hard to find expertise, ad most people deal with AWS. 

The solution is quite expensive. 

We'd like the solution to continue to make security features more robust. We need to protect against data leaks and also need to protect customer information. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for less than a year now. We're a new company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable, reliable product. It does not have bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We're a new company. This solution hasn't been used for too long, and we haven't really launched anything yet. Right now, it is still just internally dealt with. Likely less than 100 people deal with it right now. 

How are customer service and support?

The support could be better. There needs to be more knowledgeable. It could be that there aren't enough people with a good knowledge base in our country. Most people are comfortable with AWS, and not necessarily with GCP. However, I don't typically deal with technical support. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also use AWS, which is what most companies use. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to set up and deploy. It's not a complex process. We can easily deploy applications, APIs, et cetera. However, I did not handle the initial setup myself and therefore cannot speak from firsthand experience. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We do find it to be more expensive than AWS. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure what version of the solution we're using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. There's not a problem with deploying it. The business decision comes more about the deployment and support costs and if that makes sense to everyone in the company. It's higher than AWS, which is something that needs to be considered, especially since most people are more familiar with AWS. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's well documented and does have available support. 

We are a customer and end-user. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Google
