Google Cloud Storage Reviews

The solution is used to store files and photos. You can store whatever information you have on the cloud.

The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to access, use and its availability.

The pricing for the licensing of the solution could be better. I am not sure about the reliability of the solution.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for nine to ten years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

It is a stable product.

More than 1,000 employees in my company use the solution. We do have plans to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product.

I have contacted the technical support team of Google. The responses from the technical team are fast.

The solution's initial setup process was easy. One month was required to carry out the deployment process of the solution. Two to three people who were administrators and developers were required for the deployment process.

The implementation process was carried out with the help of our in-house team.

My company is paying a yearly subscription for the licensing of the solution. It is an expensive solution.

Before choosing Google Cloud Storage, during our evaluation process, we evaluated a solution called SharePoint.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the product to build applications. 

The combination of Firebase features, including storage, the Firebase database, and authentication, has been the most valuable. Firebase offers Google authentication, which is convenient for our needs. Additionally, Firebase provides email authentication and Gmail authentication, which are easy to set up and integrate into our applications.

We utilize Google Cloud Storag's automated backup functionality for data backup. Once enabled, it automatically backs up our data at regular intervals. It is integrated with other services, such as Stripe, for collecting payments, and SendGrid for email communication.

It's easy to use Google Cloud Storage to manage data. You can create buckets and interact with the storage easily. However, we primarily use it in conjunction with other features, particularly Firebase, which provides storage options integrated within it. We haven't logged into GCP specifically to create buckets because the functionalities we need are already available within Firebase.

The tool should be cheaper. 

I have been using the product for four years. 

Google Cloud Storage is stable. 

Since using managed storage solutions, scalability hasn't been an issue. My company has 500 users. 

For deployment, we've been using Firebase, specifically Firebase Cloud Storage. Since it's a managed service, we didn't have to handle the deployment process ourselves. This aligns well with our design methodology of building the product, testing it, gathering user feedback, and making changes based on that feedback. You need a team of ten resources to handle the deployment. 

Before deciding on Google Cloud Storage, we evaluated other options. However, we ultimately chose Firebase, which includes Google Cloud Storage as part of its integrated package.

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

I use Google Cloud Storage in my company for email purposes, meaning we use it to manage our corporate emails.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a good product that we use with two exchange servers in place. My company doesn't use Google Classroom.

The product's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are required. The tool could be more user-friendly and offer more designs to users as it is currently very plain and straightforward.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for six months. I use the solution's latest version, which is quite good.

From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a very scalable solution.

Around 200 people in my company use the solution.

If new employees join our organization, then we may expand the use of the product.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy.

One person from the IT team who operates from the headquarters of our company situated in Istanbul deals with the deployment process of the product and speaks with the company's employees, making the whole process easy without any complaints.

Only IT staff members are required to take care of the product's deployment process.

The solution can be deployed in a month.

The in-house personnel of my company carried out the product's installation phase

The product works completely fine, and because of that, the return on investment is very good.

Approximately 800 to 1,000 USD is paid towards the licensing costs of the solution. The solution is neither expensive nor cheap, meaning it is moderately priced. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

The solution's most valuable features are availability, feasibility, and reachability. Google Cloud Storage is the best solution because it is easy to handle. New users can easily grab this technology and start using it because it's a user-friendly product.

I have been using the solution for the last two years. My storage team is working with Google Storage. My storage team has connections to the ISPs, and they are migrating their data from one location to another with the help of 3PAR.

Recently, during the crosstalk issue with the Microsoft patches, one of our team members could access the data from the Google Cloud. Our data was available even when the servers went down, were not reachable, or had issues.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

It's easy for everyone to understand their parts, and you can easily migrate it to anything in the environment.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Every cloud storage opportunity is the best for us. For example, if you go with cloud storage for your applications or any data that is on the organization, including SharePoint, it is the best way to ensure the redundancy of your data. I rate the solution a nine out of ten for its ease of use. Google Cloud Storage is a user-friendly solution, and any new user can use it.

I would advise users using other storage services to try Google Cloud Storage once. It is free and has more features. Google Gmail provides one TB of storage, and you can store any kind of documentation there.

Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half or nine out of ten.

My company had to deal with two to three projects using Google Cloud Storage. My company operates as an agency and a software house. We work for multiple projects of multiple clients as an agency in server keys for multiple clients. Different clients have different requirements, so my company uses multiple platforms.

Currently, we are not working too much on Google Cloud Storage, so we are not talking too much about what needs improvement in the solution. As per what your company's client wanted, we had only three deployments associated with Google Cloud Storage.

The price of Azure products is high. In my opinion, the prices of Google solutions should be lowered for businesses.

I have experience with Google Cloud Storage. My company works for the clients who use Google Cloud Storage. If customers want Azure, we provide it. If the customers want Amazon, we provide Amazon. If our customers prefer Google, then we offer it to them. Most of our customers approach our company for deployment. My company operates as an implementer.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is a reliable product.

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

Currently, my company has only dealt with three requirements associated with the tool. Our deployments are mostly on Azure. Our company's clients suggest that they want Google Cloud Storage deployed on their applications.

I am satisfied with the technical support team for the solution. The support engineer's response time is slow. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup phase can be difficult for a business student working for the first time in Google Cloud Storage.

The solution is deployed on a public cloud.

The solution can be deployed in four to five hours.

Currently, the tool does not offer cost-saving benefits. Compared to Azure, Google Cloud Storage does not help with cost savings.

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten.

Google Cloud Storage's support is not fully available on YouTube or through Google itself, especially compared to tools from Azure. If you have any queries or problems, you can use Google to find solutions related to products from Google, Azure, and Amazon. In Google Cloud Storage, some decisions are difficult for a user, especially for those who are not familiar with the current scenario.

The tool's multi-regional storage options have been beneficial for operations since my company works on the cloud depending on the requirements of our clients. For a client who, on a regional basis, is hosting an app with the help of APIs, we provide all of our mechanisms and business models depending on the client's requirements.

Currently, my company has not integrated any services in Google Cloud Storage.

Currently, Google Cloud Storage is not easy for any user. That is why the users are suffering with the platform. Anytime I compare Google Cloud to Azure. Azure platform is complicated, but it is available on Google Cloud. When it comes to Google Cloud, the solution's support is not easy to handle for any new user. As an experienced person who is working on Google Cloud, I know things can be okay. As a new user of Google Cloud, one may face a little bit of difficulty.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the platform as a backend for our mobile applications. 

One area for product improvement would be better synchronization across regions. Currently, the performance can be slow if you access storage from different global locations.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than ten years.

I rate the product stability a nine. 

The platform is scalable, and I have not encountered limits on the amount of data. However, scalability for regional access can be an issue, as performance may vary depending on the user's location relative to the storage region.

The initial setup process is straightforward. 

The product pricing is reasonable. 

We integrate Google Cloud Storage with Google Firebase. Firebase provides an SDK to develop mobile applications and store files in Google Cloud Storage.

As a technical person, I find managing data within the platform easy. I would rate it as a nine. It is both fast and secure.

We primarily use Google Cloud Storage for storage and as a platform integrated with Google Suite. Extending storage to the cloud is beneficial for additional activities that the company or client may require.

By using cloud services, we have ensured compliance in terms of data protection, which is better than using on-premises solutions. However, many small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines find it challenging in terms of cost, which impacts the decision to move to the cloud.

Google Cloud Storage integrates well with Google Suite, making it easy to extend functionalities to cloud-based platforms for various company activities. The scalability model is robust, allowing additional capacity without issue.

The initial setup appears to be the hardest part, although once familiar with it, the process becomes easier. Pricing remains challenging, especially for SMEs, making cloud services costlier than on-premises solutions.

I've been familiar with Google Cloud Storage since around 2020. Before that, I was using Microsoft-based cloud solutions.

Google Cloud Storage provides a good scalable model, making it easy to add capacity as needed without problems.

I cannot comment on Google's technical support for Google Cloud Storage as I don't have a point of comparison with other providers.

Neutral

In my previous company, we used ERP Storage solutions, however, currently, I am not handling any ERP software.

The initial setup takes about one to two hours with my understanding of the process. However, others I've talked to have taken one to two days to set up what they wanted to do with cloud solutions.

The pricing for cloud services, including Google, remains challenging in the Philippines, especially for SMEs. These businesses often find cloud solutions more expensive compared to on-premises options.

I would recommend Google Cloud Storage for companies that do not want to manage on-premises infrastructure. For small and medium enterprises, the cost may be a limiting factor, so it may not be as feasible for them.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the solution for our data, media, and documentation.

The solution is very flexible. It is easy to use. All our staff are using it. Even those who do not have much education can use the solution. We work on the cloud. We don’t need any data backup. We do all the documentation on the cloud. The photographs and media go directly from the computer to the cloud. All the facilities provided by the product are useful. We also use Google Drive.

The solution must provide some accessibility features. We work with people with disabilities. The product must provide features that help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It must provide features that are easy to read on Google Docs. It can also provide pictorial prompts. It can also provide prompts to simplify the meaning of things.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten. Everyone in my organization uses the tool. We have 150 users. We might increase the number of users if we get more staff.

I have contacted technical support a few times. The support is very good. I got a prompt response and service from the team. The support is fast. Once we reach the support persons, they will help us quickly.

We do not need any help with installation. It is automatic. Nothing is required for the installation.

The solution makes all our work easy. We are tension-free because it is a secure product.

The pricing is nominal for us as we are a charitable organization. We pay a monthly subscription fee.

We are not using data analytics. As long as I do not have difficulty using the solution, I would rate it a 100 out of 100. I advise many people in the charitable and NGO sector to use the tool. Many of them use it. I help them to start using the product. I have used many products before. I haven’t searched for any other tool after using Google. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
