Google Cloud Storage Reviews

It's not for my personal use, but we use Google Cloud Storage for a special product for banks that offers it as a service as well.

The performance is good.

We are satisfied with the parameters of Google Cloud Storage.

The licensing fees could be reduced.

I have been working with Google Cloud Storage for four or five years.

Because it is a cloud solution, we are always working with the most recent version.

We are satisfied with the stability of Google Cloud Storage.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but we don't need a large number of users. We use it for four or five users, so it's not a large product.

We don't have plans to increase our usage.

I have not contacted technical support. I have not experienced any issues.

Previously, we worked with Azure.

I believe we switched the database. We used Azure's cloud before, which is very simple to use. I'm referring to Azure. But then we switched to a different database, and that's when we started using, Google Cloud Storage.

The initial setup is straightforward. There are no specific requirements.

Licensing fees could be better.

We pay a monthly subscription.

I would recommend this solution for anyone who is interested in using it.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage an eight out of ten.

The primary use case is to store documents in various formats, enabling me to access them anywhere.

We have found synchronization to be a really useful feature. We synchronize documents from a personal machine to Google Cloud Storage, and in addition we make use of Google docs where we can easily create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets or even Powerpoint. Then it is really easy to access documents from anywhere.

It would be beneficial to manage duplicated documents better. For example, when conducting a search, it would be useful to indicate when files are the same or duplicate. You could have the same files in different folders and therefore if you are given a choice to decide what to do, that would be a nice feature. You could either delete or merge them. 

Also, it would be nice to have the possibility to convert video files that you have stored, compress them and store them in different formats. If I had a huge 3-5GB video file and I had the option to convert this to MP3 and compress it that would greatly reduce the file size that is being stored in the cloud.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately 2 years

Regarding scalability, from a users point of view you are not installing anything on your machine. Scalability is not visible to me as an end user.

There has been no need to contact Google for any form of support, I have faced no issues to date. 

There is no initial installation to setup, as it's cloud based storage all you need is a web browser and you can upload and download files right away. 

The free subscription with Google Cloud Storage provides a lower amount of GB storage, if you want to upgrade to more you have to pay an annual subscription. 

We looked at OneDrive and DropBox as alternative solutions. 

I primarily use Google Cloud Storage to store most of my large videos and images. It's very easy to filter it out and get something whenever it's required, rather than keeping it in the traditional way of storage. I use it for personal purposes. 

This solution is cloud-based, so it's always on the latest version. 

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution. 

Google Cloud Storage could be improved if they provided more free storage for free accounts. 

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

This solution is stable. So far, I've never faced any kinds of outages or unavailability. So far, so good. 

This solution provides scalability. If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want, so it's okay. 

I'm continuously using Google Cloud Storage. I add a few photos or videos day by day, but there aren't many specific cases where I have to increase my usage.

Before using Google Cloud Storage, I used the traditional method of storing things on a hard disk. 

The installation process is straightforward and perfect. It doesn't require any technical knowledge, and you can do it yourself. It took me less than five to ten minutes. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want. Considering the features that Google Cloud Storage provides, the pricing is reasonable. So far, I'm still using the free service from them because I'm able to meet my requirements with the free subscription. Maybe, in the future, if a storage requirement comes, I'll pay for it or go for the license. 

I rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten. In terms of security, scalability, availability, and free storage, I always recommend that people go for Google Cloud. 

The company that I am with currently is doing consulting, and my previous company used it in the cloud. Both will be in the Google Cloud.

I personally used Google Cloud Storage to upload data, and the company is using it to save data model training results, such as AI training results.

Its integration with BigQuery has helped in the organization's improvement.

Its blob storage, being able to handle large amounts of unstructured data, is very useful. 

Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable.

On the surface, it appears to be a straightforward product.

It's everything you want, and not complex. 

There was one complicated use case at a previous firm, two years ago. If you didn't name it, but sequentially named it, and you saved your files over a day, and it's a sequence, there would be some inefficiency with the cachets. If you are trying to retrieve large blocks of files, there was a problem with the cache, it was inefficient.

There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing.

Creating a hierarchy can be a little difficult, and obtuse to deal with, but it is something that is workable for a good engineer.

There is no learning curve as compared to other solutions.

 I would like to see some assistance in establishing a hierarchy.

I have been working with Google Cloud Storage for seven years.

The versions are upgraded, but there are not many changes.

In the past, we have used S3, and Amazon AWS.

Google Cloud Storage is an extremely reliable product. There are no issues with the stability of Google Cloud Storage.

Google Cloud Storage is a scalable solution.

The Google technical support is not very good at all. But it's such a simple product that in my entire career, we have never had to contact support.

I have several solutions such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Data Studio as well as Looker.

I have been working with Google Data Studio for three or four years.

The initial setup was fine.

It's an inexpensive product.

Solid, cheap, and performant are the three words that come to mind when describing this solution.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for our documentation.

Google Cloud Storage and Google Docs are very good.

It's user-friendly.

The performance is good.

I am satisfied with this solution.

I would like to see better pricing.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for a couple of years.

We are using the latest version.

Google Cloud Storage is a stable product.

I have no issues with the scalability of Google Cloud Storage.

I have not contacted technical support.

We are also using Dropbox.

There is no installation required. It's a cloud-based solution.

The price could be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for personal storage. 

The solution should have two factor authentication.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for a couple of years.

The solution is already stable and I have not encountered problems in this regard. 

I have not had occasion to contact tech support. 

Other than the solution, I have only made use of Enterprise. 

As the solution is cloud-based, there is no installation involved. 

The solution is free.

The storage is really easy to use. 

I rate Google Cloud Storage as a nine out of ten. 

I'm helping the company build a data warehouse and expand it to utilize the current platform and build new machine-learning operations. All of the stack is currently stuck with the Google stack. I use BigQuery and their Data Studio to use as a data warehouse. I'm looking for another platform to build a machine-learning operation on. ProtectAI is good, however, it's quite new.

It's user-friendly. We find it to be very easy to use.

They also have the SDK for the development team to integrate with their application, their system, which has been useful.

The product is quite stable. 

Google is targeting customers right now in the Vietnam market, and therefore, they have lots of promotions. They also have a lot of teams in Vietnam, so they give a lot of support and troubleshooting. 

The product can scale. 

The security is pretty good.

Comparing to Azure Machine Learning, Microsoft Azure is much better and they have more experience than Google. The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.

I would love to use Amazon S3 as it's more user-friendly and the SDK is better. It's easy to let the developer implement it, whereas Google Cloud Storage is hard for the developer to use. The SDK is quite complicated.

The security could always be better.

I have used the solution since I joined my current company. That was one and a half years ago. I have a little less than two years of experience. 

The stability of the solution is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can. Compared to other options, it's quite good.

The service and system technology team serves around 2,000 people.

Technical support has been great so far. Google has a lot of teams in the country that have been really helpful and responsive. They give us a lot of attention when we need to troubleshoot. 

I've worked with Amazon and Azure in the past as well. 

Since Google has recently targeted Vietnam, they've been offering many customers in the country lots of great promotions and incentives. 

It's about nearly $10,000 USD to use the services on GCP, however, Google gave us a good deal which is why we originally went with them.

We do pay a monthly fee to Google. We use a lot of their services. 

As a cloud solution, we're always on the latest and most up-to-date version of the product. Google keeps it updated for us and we do not have to update anything manually.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty satisfied with the solution overall. 

While AWS S3 is the best, and Microsoft is pretty good, I'd still recommend Google.

We are using Google Cloud Storage mainly for our document management. We have its latest version.

It is stable and scalable.

Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.

It is scalable. You can scale based on your users. We have more than a thousand users, and it allows me to share across my team.

We don't need any support.

We tried using other tools from AWS and Microsoft. We have a very limited number of users on Microsoft Azure. Office 365 is only for the senior leadership.

Being a cloud solution, it doesn't require installation. I can also use it offline. To use it offline, I need to install an app on my machine that allows me to work offline and gets synced without my server.

It is completely cloud-managed. We don't need a separate team to maintain it. We only have our regular IT team that creates the users, and they automatically get signed up to Google Storage.

Its price is fine. 

I would recommend this solution to others. We plan to keep using this solution.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.

I'm a manager in an Indian-based company and we are customers of Google. 

In the two years I've been using this solution, I haven't had a single minute of downtime. That is what's fantastic about the cloud. I know the product is very secure since there was an attempt at a cyber attack some months ago, and the attackers could not penetrate into the Google Cloud. They might be able to attack some on-prem applications but not these applications. From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic. I like the interface, it works well with other applications.

I think improvements can be made from a storage perspective and a cost perspective. We're currently working on the application modernization and I think that the integration section of Google and the cloud could be simplified. Integration across various applications isn't always successful.

We've been using this solution for over two years. 

The scalability is fantastic. We've been able to scale up and down as necessary. We have close to 450 users. I think we will probably extend it. Since the attempted attack, management is now of the opinion that it's best to migrate all the on-prem applications to cloud.

I am satisfied with the technical support. We are in contact with Google's account manager in India and that works well. 

The initial setup was complex and the team struggled for a couple of weeks. That was two years ago and things have changed a lot since then. Initially we took on service from the supplier but now we have expert consultants who can manage anything on cloud.

We evaluated everything; AWS, Azure and Google. For various reasons, we settled on Google. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use the solution to share reports and files. 

Google Cloud Storage includes Docs, calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Meet. 

The tool should increase its storage. 

I have been using the product for more than five years. 

Google Cloud Storage is stable. I rate it an eight out of ten. Chrome's tabs slow down the performance. 

The tool is scalable. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward. You don't have to install anything. It works with Chrome. 

Google Cloud Storage is worth its money.
