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. 

Public Cloud

Google

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 primarily use the solution for deploying to the cloud. We have two products in production. 

Two years ago, I was working on local servers only. With this, we were able to move to the cloud.

There's a lot of investment in Google Cloud. It's a very good product now. 

The solution is stable.

It's more widely recognized and used by more people. 

They continue to invest in the cloud and it's becoming very good.

The security is getting better. 

It's easy to work with. 

We're very happy with the implementation at this time. 

The product can scale well.

I cannot recall coming across any missing features.

I've used the solution for a while now. It's been at least two years. 

The solution has been stable and reliable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches and have noticed any crashing or freezing. 

The solution is capable of scaling. It's not a problem. 

We have five people using it right now. 

In the future, we will increase usage.

Technical support has been helpful and responsive. We find them to be very good. 

I also have experience with Amazon as well. 

The solution has been easy to work with and easy to implement. It's not overly complex.

We have one person that is in charge of maintenance. It doesn't require much oversight. 

We have witnessed an ROI, although I do not have specifics surrounding that aspect. 

We've had licensing with Google for four years. The pricing is fine. It's not overly expensive. 

At this point, I haven't evaluated any other options. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

In general, the solution is great and I would rate it ten out of ten. 

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.

Public Cloud

Google

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

I primarily use it for personal use. I mostly use it to access Google Drive. I use it for saving photos and sharing documents. 

It is very easy to share documents. 

It's very good for personal use for saving my own documents and files. 

The performance is very good. 

It is pretty good in terms of storage.

It is fairly secure. 

I don't have any notes for improvements. I don't use it too often. 

They could always offer even more storage at the base level. 

I've been using Google Cloud for 15 years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. I'd rate its reliability ten out of ten. 

It is scalable. I'd rate the ability to extend ten out of ten.

I'm not sure who else uses it in my company.

I've never contacted technical support. I've never had any issues. 

I also use Microsoft for personal use. 

I've previously used Dropbox as well.

The setup is very simple. 

I use a free version. You can also pay for a subscription from Google Cloud as well. 

Since this is a cloud product, I am always on the latest version of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to other potential users. It is easy to set up. You can choose to have a personal friend and gain access to your documents from anywhere.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Google

I was investigating a couple of machine learning files and I loaded them into the Google Cloud Platform. 

I load and edit notebooks and add more resources to increase computational power. It satisfies the GPUs, basically. 

I tend to use their standard configuration and focus on editing the notebooks. I do not use it in a production environment. 

The solution meets my needs for the most part. Everything I need is there, and it has an interface I am familiar with.

There is no downtime. It is very reliable. 

The UI is very familiar and user-friendly. I like ht interface. 

The configurations are very easy. 

Also, if you need to increase computational power, you can do so. 

I find the system itself to be very convenient. 

It is always easy to access. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution scales well. 

The product is very good. I don't have any notes on areas for improvement. 

Integration is always something that can be improved. 

I've used the solution in the last 12 months. I use it very regularly. 

The solution is extremely stable. There are no bugs and glitches and there is no downtime. I find it to be extremely reliable. I've never experienced any kind of problems. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. 

I'm using the solution in the context of a small company, and I just use it on my laptop. Therefore, I've never pushed scalability to the maximum. 

I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten. The level of scalability on offer is very high. It has a lot of computing power. 

I've never needed the help of technical support. I cannot comment on their level of service. 

I have used other solutions in the past and was disappointed with how there was always something not working properly. Also, I did not like how I had to buy credits, which was time-consuming. I had to increase my credit in order to sustain an increase in computing power. Google Cloud is very reliable. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate it seven or eight out of ten in terms of ease of implementation. It's not overly complex. 

It is available on the web. You simply go to Google's website and it is there and accessible. 

I'm an end-user. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise others to try it out. They can use it with confidence. I'd recommend it to others. 

I would rate the product nine out of ten. It's reliable and scalable.

Google

We primarily use the solution for data. For example, we use it for email and Google Docs and sheets and content of that nature. 

I find that Google Cloud is easier to understand than other options. 

I like its product offering, which is simpler to figure out and automate.

The setup is straightforward. 

It is scalable.

The solution is stable.

Technical support has been good. 

I'm still confused by the usefulness of the cloud and I'm not sure why everyone is moving there. I don't trust the act of sending my company's information to whoever knows where instead of having it safe on my own servers. 

I find it hard to download items, especially on their operating system.

The Google operating system leaves a lot to be desired. 

It does not seem to provide any virtualization whatsoever.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

Cloud providers like Google are designed to be scalable. The issue is you are supposed to be bursting at the seams before you scale and that doesn't make much financial sense.

The customer service is very good. 

Neutral

I'm also familiar with Azure. I've used Microsoft products for ten years or so, however, I find Google to be simpler.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward and simple. 

Pricing is pretty good. However, all cloud products offer pretty close to the same pricing. 

I haven't used a lot of cloud products and haven't experimented too much with Google Cloud, beyond playing with Google Workspace. 

From what I have experienced, I would rate it seven out of ten.
