Google Cloud Reviews

We use it for storage and sorting our company documents.

I like it because it's convenient. Google Cloud is also stable and scalable. The technical support is good as well.

I would improve the integration with other devices such as smartphones. It is integrated in our company, but I think it could be improved.

It would be good to have fewer notifications.

I've been using Google Cloud for approximately five to six years.

It's stable, but from time to time it requests some notifications. In general, it's a good product.

Google Cloud is scalable. We have more than 100 users in our organization.

The technical support has been fine. We have not had any problems with it.

The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use.

I would recommend Google Cloud and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

I primarily use the solution for a couple of small development environments.

The solution is just simple and easy for me to configure. It's very easy to work with and navigate through. The user experience is very good. Overall, it's very easy to use.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The solution has been good overall. I can't recall having any features missing.

The solution could be less expensive.

It may be helpful to go through some training in order to get comfortable with the product.

The user interface could be a bit better. I've done a few deployments following the tutorial, and afterward, I'm not quite sure what exactly I've done. I just follow the instructions and just finish the command prompt and then it looks like it's working - but why, and how? I'm not quite sure. I want to understand fundamentally what I've done. If there were more documentation and training, it would be very helpful in explaining the underlying processes. 

I've been using the solution for three or four years at this point. 

My usage is quite limited, and therefore, I haven't experienced many problems at the moment. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable.

It's my understanding that the solution can scale, however, I haven't explored this aspect yet.

Mainly, it's just me on the solution. There isn't much of a team surrounding it. I do have a couple of other teams outsourcing ideas, however.

I haven't needed to reach out to technical support. I can't speak to how knowledgeable or responsive they are to inquiries.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. It's not complex at all. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup.

The deployment was very fast and only maybe took an hour.

The pricing is okay, however, it could always be cheaper, which is always better.

There isn't too much difference in price when comparing it to what else is on the market.

I'm a Google partner.

Overall, the solution has been pretty good and I don't really have any complaints to discuss.

In general, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at a nine.

I develop multi-cloud solutions. I'm a customer of Google and a team manager.

The solution is simple to use on the web, and makes things easy for a software developer. It's also reasonably priced. 

I think Google Cloud could provide more services. 

I've been using this solution for four years. 

It's a stable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Google Cloud is a very good product but I think AWS is better. 

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10. 

We are using GoogleCloud for hosting a SaaS platform.  

The most valuable feature of the product is that it has a very powerful command line.  

It is difficult to say what should be improved because, obviously, they have made some major improvements in the organization of how you do things — such as the way you set up a server. Google has made a lot of effort to try and catch up to the competition in the area of ease-of-use because that would have been my one complaint: that you have got to be quite technical to understand some of the ways that things are done. Azure and Heroku are number one in ease-of-use and they make it very easy. Google has done a lot of work to alleviate that objection and to catch up with Heroku and Azure. But the people that have the most to say about the ease-of-use would be the guys using it. For the developers we have, they like the power and the control that Google gives them.  

So I can not actually answer what exactly has to improve for developers to be more satisfied at this point because they seem quite satisfied with it already. I do not get any complaints from the guys. They are the ones using it every day and I do not use it on a daily basis so I really can not comment in that sense.  

I could say that it can be easier to use for people that do not have the same level of technical skills, but even that has improved a lot with their upgrade to the user documentation.  

I have experience with Google Cloud for about two years now.  

It is extremely stable. I have no negative feedback and no complaints.  

Google Cloud is very scalable. The use of Docker and Kubernetes has really made it extremely scalable. Google's implementation of Kubernetes is excellent.  

At this stage mainly we have developers and dev-ops using the product and it is a team of about 25 guys. We could expand that at any time.  

The initial setup is somewhat more complicated than competing products. I was not directly involved in that capacity so I can not provide details. But also complexity sometimes leads to opportunity as far as customizing performance. The people who are working with the product directly like the ability to fine-tune more than they want simplicity.  

Initially, I was just doing research. I was keeping an open mind and looking at all of the possibilities. I do not think it is quite right to call it "evaluate" when you just do a feasibility study. We did take a closer look at a few solutions like Azure, Heroku, and Google Cloud. We dabbled a little bit with some of them. We eliminated Azure because we were concerned about the support for Mongo DB which is part of our technology stack. Obviously Azure has changed a lot since.  

We trimmed that group to Heroku and Google Cloud which are technically both platforms of high-quality. Heroku is easier to deal with. Using Google Cloud, you have to build a bit of experience with the product because it is not easy if you do not understand how to do things. Heroku makes it a lot easier for you.  

The reason we went with Google Cloud had to do with two things. Number one was cost, and number two is that Google supported everything we use. We had to control the costs initially, so Heroku was pretty much out the door almost immediately. It was a competitive product but it was too expensive. An end-user would not know where a platform is hosted, and they would not care. For an end-user, they go on your website or on your SaaS platform and there is no difference in the experience whether you are hosted with Google or Heroku or AWS. It makes no sense for them to worry about that. But the cost ends up being an important component of the decision for the service company.  

I think the point is that it is very difficult for companies these days to decide between Heroku, Azure and Google Cloud. They all have data centers in the right places in the UK. There is very little that differentiates any of them. Heroku obviously stands out because they are a very stable platform and they do all the hard work for you. If you do not have the expertise to go with a less expensive more labor-intensive solution, then you would go with Heroku and pay more.  

We have a development center in Manila with very experienced guys and they love Google Cloud. It gives them everything they need and everything that is required for a big, fast platform — like the ability to use clustering. I think all of the solutions support Java and ATC (Advanced Analytics Technology). But we have not had any issues since we started on Google Cloud, so we are happy with the direction we have taken.  

The lesson I learned from adopting Google Cloud is that you should do more training before you commit to it.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Google Cloud as an eight-out-of-ten. You can not have a perfect platform. There is always room for improvement and something to add.  

That rating is really because of the feedback I get from the team. I get good feedback from the guys. But it is not really fair of me to give any product a ten if I am not more intimate with it in daily use. I could just as well give it a one if I were totally ignorant of the product, but that would not mean anything.  

I use the solution to back up my data.

The automatic sync between my mobile device data and photos to the cloud is the most valuable feature.

Being able to access my files remotely is a plus.

The cost of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes no time. We only need to enter our Gmail account information to access Google Cloud.

Google offers a free account with minimal data backup and we can subscribe for more data. I pay around $2 US per month.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

I recommend the solution. Google Cloud is easy to use.

I use this solution to house a machine learning model, based on text to speech and vice versa.

I have found this solution to be a quick and advanced way to run my models through.

I would like to see some improvement in the accessibility features of this solution.

I have been working with this solution for a year now.

This has always been a stable solution in my experience.

I have found this to be a fairly scalable solution.

The initial setup of this solution is neither very easy nor very complex.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten

I am using Google Cloud for file storage and computing.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its flexibility.

The solution could improve by being less expensive.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately three months.

Google Cloud is stable.

I have not used the support from Google Cloud.

I have not used other solutions prior to Google Cloud.

The price of the solution could be better.

I rate Google Cloud an eight out of ten.

The solution is fairly easy to deploy. There is no need to manage the underlying infrastructure, where all the details of load balancing deployment and version management are managed by the system itself.

Google Cloud offerings have a number of features which complement each other to provide very solid cloud feature sets. Google Cloud makes available many products and a person can build whatever he desires. A solution can always be found for anything one needs. 

My only concern is that a number of the offerings are built on their own proprietary technologies. This means that, with respect to the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers.

I have been using Google Cloud for several years, three or four. 

We have employed every type of deployment, five of the applications being deployed on private clouds, others - both Google and Microsoft - being publicly deployed. We have a bit of everything. 

I limit my rating of Google Cloud to an eight out of ten.
