It's flexible and the price is reasonable
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of Google Cloud Platform are the Kubernetes engine, CI/CD, and BigQuery."
- "The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP."
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
Apigee is a good feature because we analyzed and changed the computer-associated AP to Apigee. We compared the features and created the clusters to change the solution to Apigee. It's a good option on the Google Cloud Platform. And I like BigQuery, which is a fantastic database on the SaaS model. The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Google Cloud Platform for one year.
How are customer service and support?
Google support is outstanding. It's effortless to contact Google engineers, who are all Brazilians. The work is well explained, and they participate in our technical meetings.

Learn what your peers think about Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: May 2025.
851,604 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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. And the price of AWS is higher, but we have only two big applications on the AWS. Still, I like Google so much, and my company thinks GCP is the best way to handle our workloads.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Cloud Platform nine out of 10. I like the GCP so much because it's flexible. We have tools for similar tech drivers, and we can connect them in the other clouds, where I use the Anthos platform. I created an Anthos platform for similar tech drivers to administer all of the different cloud solutions on the same platform. So, for example, I can put the comments on Cloud Shell and create a resource in the other clouds.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

What is most valuable?
I like that the solution has high availability and is stable and free. Likewise, the interface is quite good.
What needs improvement?
The local sales team contact is not easily available. If I want to contact a sales account manager at Google directly to buy something, I cannot approach them directly. I have to go through layers of vendors. Only then can I somehow approach.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used Google Cloud Platform for about five or six years now.

I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten because there is scope for improvement.

Senior Partner at COMEXANS
Functions well with good features
Pros and Cons
- "Functions well and has good features."
- "Google is not well supported in France."
What is our primary use case?
Our use case is to plug platforms, especially applications that are
based on website micro services such as containers.
What is most valuable?
From our perspective this is a good solution that functions well and has good features.
What needs improvement?
We are based in France and it's difficult to find people with sufficient training to assist us. I'd like to see companies with the right level of expertise to help my customers to move their projects from the traditional information system or infrastructures on premise to cloud but it's very difficult to find that here. Google is not well supported in France.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not so easy. The average deployment time is between one and two years. It requires an initial feasibility study to understand the scope. Once that's established you need to find the path to help set up the right security parameters. The migration is done through scripting and codes. The deployment requires project managers and engineers.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend this solution but it's important to find the right partner and be sure you have a suitable use case. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Has the ability to set an accessibility feature using cloud identity
Pros and Cons
- "There is a certain accessibility feature that I can set using a cloud identity, which is really valuable to us."
- "the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens."
What is our primary use case?
It's a cloud-based solution, so it's always the latest version. We use it for identity management, monitor resources, and to monitor the cloud resources. The number of users are small, but the number of resources being managed is large. We plan to roll it out to about 30,000 people.
What is most valuable?
There is a certain accessibility feature that I can set using a cloud identity, which is really valuable to us.
What needs improvement?
I think that the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens. There's a little bit of confusion under your resource discovery you get in a search bar having to do with the level of complexity of the product design. But I think the documentation could be better.

We have been using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable.

It scales well, in fact, it's quite relevant. We've not put it to an extreme level of scale, but we use it at a medium level of scalability. It's working well.
How are customer service and technical support?
Google's technical support is really good. In fact, I've only been in touch through email and they've been really responsive. In fact, most of our responses happen in minutes.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is straightforward. I don't think it's a function of how long it takes to set up. it's a continuous deployment. At the time it was a new resource that has to be reconfigured. The initial set up was a few days, but after that its incremental changes that we do.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We've evaluated Microsoft.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy at an eight out of ten.
