Google Cloud Reviews

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.

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.

We primarily use the solution for our virtual machines. We put all of our software infrastructure onto virtual machines, and then we use Google as the cloud for storage. We use all of our own solutions inside and not their services so that if we did want to move to another cloud, like AWS, we could do so easily.

The initial setup is very easy.

We like that the solution is always available, and it would be simple to migrate as needed. 

We chose Google for its ease of use and value for money.

It is stable.

The solution can scale. 

I can't think of any improvements off the top of my head. 

The solution could be a bit cheaper.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

There were some glitches in the system years ago. That has since been fixed. Now, it is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It's of a very good standard. 

It is very scalable, and you need to pay for it if you want to expand. 

We've had to reach out to support in the past. I wasn't able to get help from Google directly. I found help using the user community. 

The solution is very straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. 

The solution offers the best value for money. 

I'm just a straightforward customer. 

I am not sure if we are using any specific version at this time. 

This is a good solution. You'd get done what you need to get done. There are many alternative solutions out there, however. What people need to know is if they will get their requirements met. This is a very capable platform. It's a good product to use and offers good value for money. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall. 

Our primary use case is for shared server storage.

The overall function of Google Cloud for storage is exactly what I am looking for.

I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price.

I have been using Google Cloud for the past three years.

The stability of Google Cloud is currently good.

I believe you have all the options to scale as you find it necessary.

I used AWS previously because we were required to compare it with Google Cloud.

I would rate Google Cloud an eight on a scale of one to ten.

I am using Google Cloud to back up my files from my laptop. If I have any important information that I need to back up I use this solution.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security.

Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately three years.

Google Cloud is stable as long as you have a good internet connection.

The scalability of Google Cloud is good because if you need more space you only need to purchase more.

I have not contacted support.

The price of Google Cloud is affordable compared to others services. I pay monthly for the service.

I rate Google Cloud ten out of ten.

Everyone in my university is using the solution. We might have plans to increase our usage of the solution.

Our primary use case for this solution is the installation of files for tracking and storage purposes.

The availability of content on the solution is very valuable.

The product could be improved by expanding the initial storage space available.

We have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is stable. About 5000 people are using this solution in our company.

We have had a great experience with customer service and support. They provide excellent service.

We used Microsoft Cloud previously, but Microsoft Cloud automatically closes the operating system and only gives a certain amount of space. Additionally, we use Office, so we don't have Office 365. We automatically have cloud space on Microsoft.

Deployment is very straightforward. 

We worked with vendors for deployment, which took approximately ten minutes.

The licensing costs could be made more affordable for individuals because we need more client-based customers.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. The solution is very good, but it can be improved by increasing the initial storage space.

When you push your networking, storage, and other infrastructure from on-premise to the cloud, you can let go of your on-premise real estate and shift the burden back onto the cloud vendor. Google absorbs the cost of power, cooling, management, etc.

You no longer need to spend on CapEx. Instead, you are spending on consumption, so your CapEx moves into OPEX and then on the utility. That's the generic use case for why somebody would move their workload to the cloud.

Migrating to the cloud offers multiple benefits for consumers. One is financial. Customers can let go of their data centers and put the overhead and the hassle of management onto the cloud provider.

It's easy to deploy next-generation applications on Google Cloud. Customers can also use various cloud tools to optimize their operations and generate more insights to do business much smarter.

Cloud vendors can't afford to have data centers all across the world because of the economics of scale and the size of markets. That is one reason that some customers don't get onto the cloud. 

Another issue is the applicability of local language data capturing mechanisms, which are more advanced on cloud service providers, but still there is room to grow. Also, their hybrid version isn't available in all markets worldwide, so I'm hoping that it will be released globally soon.

We've been selling Google Cloud solutions for about a year now. 

Stability has never been a question with any of the three major cloud vendors.

Cloud vendors are more scalable than any on-prem solution. There will always be an increasing demand for cloud solutions. It naturally goes up, and a lot of the other products you use will begin producing cloud versions that can only run on public clouds. 

All three cloud vendors have excellent support. I would rate them nine or 10 out of 10.

So we have a reselling on prem solutions and cloud solutions.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for ease of deployment. The complexity of deployment can vary depending on the use case and business requirements, but if it's an enterprise workload, we are looking at anywhere from four to six months.

One person could be enough to deploy and manage a cloud solution depending on how critical the workload is. It's also contingent on how much responsibility the customer or the cloud vendor takes. For example, if the cloud vendor takes maximum responsibility in a case like a software service, then the customer only has to configure, manage and run the software.

We are the ones who migrate the workloads, so we're doing the implementation, but there is always. If it's a massive workload, we might bring in third-party integrators who specialize in a particular application workload.

You get an ROI from moving workloads from on-prem to cloud, but the real return comes when your customers start taking advantage of the cloud solution's full features. The return doesn't justify the cost unless you modernize the applications.

Cost can start from less than a dollar and go up. Monthly and yearly base billing is there, but ultimately it depends on customer usage, There could be additional costs. It depends on the requirements. If a customer has some needs that aren't available on the public cloud, they'll have to procure those licenses separately.

The decision to use Google Cloud had nothing to do with its technical capabilities. We were looking at which cloud vendor had the least reach in our market, so we chose that vendor. It's hard to speak generally about the advantages and disadvantages of the different cloud platforms divorced from context.

I rate Google Cloud 10 out of 10. People have limited knowledge of cloud solutions. My advice is that for those considering migration to the cloud is to evaluate the on-prem and cloud alternatives as much as possible because you can make wrong decisions if your perspective is limited. 

Google Cloud is a good alternative solution. I think it's a better fit for Mac operating systems than Windows. If you're utilizing Google Cloud for something like big data, then their big query is decent.

There are about 12-15 people using this solution in my organization.

This is a cloud-based solution.

The solution could be cheaper.

It's stable. I haven't had any issues so far.

It's scalable.

Technical support is fine.

For the license, we didn't have to pay for any additional fees.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

This solution is used for storing my data. It's for my family's personal I work as an information security officer.

I like that it's there anytime you need it. There is some security there and you can put 2FA on the folders and share with others if need be.

From my point of view, the security features could be improved. 

I've been using this solution for many years. 

I have a monthly subscription for Google storage.
