Google Cloud Reviews

We used Google Cloud for to host our automation platform.

Google Cloud performs well. 

I would like to see more code generation features that enable you to take user input in simple English and automatically convert it to code. 

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for scalability. 

The IT team centrally manages the deployment and gives us access to the instance that hosts the automated platform.

I rate Google Cloud seven out of 10. It increases the efficiency of any user to have a solid technology platform. You get the advantage of auto-scaling and upgrades to the latest technology.

Our aim is to provide comprehensive solutions to our valued customers. Whether it be to fulfill their specific requests or to help them attain their desired outcomes, we utilize the cutting-edge technology available in Google Cloud. This allows us to effectively cater to our client's needs while also providing a mutually beneficial experience.

My customers appreciate all the features that Google Cloud has to offer. They are looking for solutions for computing engines, storage, web hosting, and various other needs. The most useful feature depends on their specific requirements and how they plan to utilize Google Cloud. Each customer has their own unique set of needs and the Google Cloud provides a range of options to meet those needs.

Google Cloud could improve interoperability with other cloud services. 

Our objective was to attain a convenient and straightforward configuration process not only in Google Cloud but in other widely utilized cloud services. Regardless of the cloud service you are currently utilizing or intend to connect to, we desire for the process to be seamless and effortlessly attainable with only quick action. It is our hope that all cloud services possess this level of interoperability with one another.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately five years.

The stability of Google Cloud is great.

Google Cloud is scalable.

I have not used the support from Google Cloud.

I have used Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS prior to using Google Cloud. I prefer Google Cloud. The interface is designed in a way that is easy to understand, even for those with limited technical knowledge. One can effortlessly acquire the necessary knowledge through online resources, allowing for self-sufficient learning.

The initial setup of the solution was easy. We only need to complete approximately four steps and we have a cloud instance. The process takes 10 seconds.

There is not any specific maintenance required to be done with the solution.

My advice to others is for them to take all the advantages of the free tiers from each cloud solution vendor and then decide what they want to use.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for small applications. There are also a few web applications with Angular.

I'm very happy with Google Cloud. Everything works. For us, the solution is very easy to use. We have the right skillsets for it.

Users find it easy to work with it. 

I don't need to create an API layer since it automatically creates it for me.

It offers a real-time database, so we get updates really fast.

The Firebase database is great.

The tutorials people can find online are good.

The solution offers fair pricing.

It's pretty stable.

The solution can scale well.

It offers a simple initial setup.

There is only one issue that I have and it is when you create an account, they limit the number of accounts you can create.

The documentation could be better.

The backup needs improvement. I would prefer to do a one-piece backup solution where I can schedule backups.

It's just too complicated to migrate from one Firebase database to another. It should have been easy.

I'd like to see something like an exchange server, a managed email server, where I can handle other clients. I'd like something similar to Microsoft Exchange yet something that is like a fully managed email service.

I started using the solution maybe four years ago.

The stability has been great. I'd rate it ten out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I've had no issues. 

It's a very scalable solution. I'd rate its ability to expand at a ten out of ten. 

We took a managed server, so it automatically scales. We've had a case where there were a thousand users streaming videos, and it all works fine.

We have 1200 users for one application. That said, we have a few applications and they all have varying amounts of users. It's likely around 1,000 users per app.

It's in our roadmap to increase usage.

I have tried Google support. I did send emails and never got a response for some of them. Compared to AWS, AWS has the best technical support and Google's is weaker.

Positive

We're also using AWS.

For Angular apps and for real-time apps and for real-time apps, Google Cloud is much better. When it comes to cleaning lambdas and small APIs, AWS is better. And the only thing I would say AWS is better is technical support. The support is 24 hours, and they're always ready to help. Google is less expensive, however.

The solution is straightforward to set up. I'd rate the ease of implementation nine out of ten. It's a cloud product. It's very easy.

Once you know what to do, the deployment is very quick and really easy. It's like one command line that you do to deploy. It only takes a minute.

We've got a repo. However, the deployments are done manually with just one command. They build locally and deploy manually.

Just one person managed the deployment process. 

Everything is implemented in-house. We did not need outside assistance. I was able to handle the deployment myself. 

Something that used to take six months might now only take two weeks. That's quite a change and a pretty good ROI.

I'd rate the pricing ten out of ten. It is an affordable product.

The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total.

We're a customer. 

I'm using a few of the services. I'm using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise new users to go through some tutorials. The documentation can be a bit hard to read. However, there are a lot of good tutorials out there. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

Public Cloud

Google

We're using the solution for multiple purposes. 

It's accessible from everywhere. It can be used for many purposes.

I like it due to the fact that it can be accessed from everywhere and it can be used for every kind of solution you need. I enjoy the freedom and access it allows for.

The solution is scalable. 

It is stable and reliable. 

The cost could be lowered. 

The analytics could be improved. The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client. There needs to be some kind of ratio between the purpose of the service, how much of this service is for the client and how much is for the provider. Google is getting more value from the analytics services than the client.

We've used the solution for many years now. It's likely been five to six years at this point. 

The solution is very stable and reliable with good performance on offer. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

You can scale the solution quite easily. It's not a problem at all. 

We have more than 4,000 users on the solution. 

We do not plan to increase usage at this time. 

We are internally supporting the product. We do not need any outside technical support. I've never reached out to Google's technical support services. 

We've used Microsoft and IBM solutions in the past. This was before we began using Google Cloud. 

We are using Google due to the fact that it's completely different. The purpose of Google Cloud is different, and the access to it is different. We are using it for wider services than for any kind of specific purpose or any kind of business focus.

We are using the cloud. There is no installation process required before you start using it. 

In terms of the licensing, I'd rate the solution five out of ten. It could always be cheaper. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. I'm a user myself. It's also very popular as an option in my country. 

I'd rate the solution five out of ten.

Public Cloud

Google

For personal storage, Google Workspace, Google portal, Google video, Google file, and Google Cloud Shell for programming language.

The services that are the most helpful include Google Portal, Google Video, Google File, and Google Cloud Shell.

The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it. I want to migrate to another solution if I need to pay for additional storage. It would also be enjoyable if there is no HBase in Google Workspace.

I have been using Google Cloud for some time and am still using it.

The problem with scaling is that if I add space to Google Cloud, I must pay for it, so I want to migrate to another solution.

It's easy to deploy Google Cloud. The deployment is compatible and efficient.

If I add up space in Google Cloud, I must pay for it. The pricing of Google Cloud is considered cheap.

I have used Alibaba Cloud and found it more complex compared to Google Cloud, which is more practical.

I recommend Google Cloud to other people.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

So far, I like all the features that I use with Google Cloud. I like it very much compared to the previous tool that we had.

The speed, security, and performance of Google Cloud are excellent.

Actually, our company doesn't venture out much to use all of the products and features covered under Google Cloud because we do have our own customizations when it comes to the setups for the company. We are trying to maximize our resources, the cost, and the assets, and we want to control it on our own.

The product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult, so it is an area where improvements are required.

I have three months of experience with Google Cloud. My role in the company is as a researcher and a developer. I am an end-user of the tool.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We are working with approximately 300 users of the tool in our company.

The solution's technical support was average. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

The technical support for Google's platforms are embedded under products, so we are meant to go for self-learning. My company does not have experience with human intervention when it comes to Google. Only self-learning is needed for the products.

Neutral

Right now, we have Google Cloud's Compute Engine and SQL Server, but we have not used the tools yet because we are diverting into self-hosting.

Previously, I worked with Microsoft products for my previous employer. All Microsoft products, including Office, servers, databases, and SQL Server.

As a new product for us, the product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult.

The product's deployment phase took place over a month. I then deployed the virtual machine, VPC, the storage, and SQL Server. We ran it for a couple of days, and then we saw the billing and the cost. The cost is based on the products you used, CPUs, Storage, Memory, API access and bandwidth. We saw that the tool was great but very costly for us, and so we did not continue.

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Private Cloud

Google

We use the solution for our SAP infrastructure.

The product’s infrastructure is up to the mark. The infrastructure is easy to manage. It is better than Azure and AWS. It is easy to implement the product.

DevOps must be improved. DevOps in AWS is quite easy to establish and can be easily used by startups and big companies. It is not so with Google Cloud. The product must provide AI features.

I have been using the solution for more than one and a half years.

The tool is quite stable.

The tool is scalable. We support our customers. We have around 2000 to 3000 customers.

The support is good. The third-party support could be improved.

Positive

The installation is easy. Most of my customers have Windows. VDI lags in Google Cloud. The deployment takes one month. We have more than 30 people in our technical team. We have eight to ten people to maintain the solution. Other people are involved in support or are senior employees like cloud architects. It is easy to maintain the tool.

The solution is cheaper than AWS. The licenses are annual. The cost is inclusive of support.

We are partners. People must choose Google Cloud. It is a great product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use Google Cloud for services like corporate email, data collection, Google Meet, session recording, presentation, and storing important documents in the cloud.

You can use Google Cloud tools easily, even if you know how Word, Excel, or PowerPoint works. Additionally, Google Meet is simple to use regarding configuration and recording sessions.

They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications.

We have been using Google Cloud since 2015.

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup process is simple. It takes just five minutes to complete and doesn’t require a much bigger team. You should know the access ID and password to log in.

Anybody can deploy the product.

They provide user-based licensing plans. Its plan could be less expensive.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten. They should work on the cost. It is not feasible for many organizations to pay 1,500 per user.

I use the solution to deploy .NET applications to the cloud. I deploy Web APIs and console applications.

Cloud Run is pretty helpful. Pub/Sub is also helpful.

The product must provide support for .NET. Microsoft has support for .NET because .NET is a Microsoft product. We ran into an issue when we were waiting for Google to support .NET 6. Google is slower to support .NET. It must cater more to .NET developers.

I have been using the solution for one year.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. We rarely had issues. We run our applications on Cloud Run. We had a feature in our software where we had to generate an Excel report, and it limited us to 32 megabytes. We had to work around it.

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. Probably 100 users are using the solution in our organization.

We were using Azure before.

The initial setup is fairly easy. We have a tool called Jenkins to deploy the product. It only takes a few minutes.

The solution is cheaper than Azure.

Google Cloud came late to the game, so it's not used as much as AWS. We can give it a try because it's easy. It’s easy to configure. It gives us another option. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

The solution's most valuable feature is BigQuery. We can train models for forecasting and predictions by just writing SQL queries with it. Also, GKE features work best, along with integrating Istio for monitoring purposes.

The solution's integration with Oracle could be better. We encounter issues while migrating the database from Oracle to another SQL server.

We have been using the solution for two and a half years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable and has automatic features for it. I rate its scalability a nine or ten.

The solution's technical support is good. We also contact other vendors trained in Google Cloud support in case of queries.

Positive

I rate the solution's initial setup process a seven out of ten. We need to understand its complete landscape for more straightforward implementation. Although, its deployment is faster and takes over a month to complete.

The solution has OpEx and CapEx, pricing models. Thus, the cost depends on specific use cases.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
