"We can run code and deploy it whenever we want."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"EFS is flexible."
"We are not that big of a cloud user. We just use it for the storage of our bytes. The most valuable aspect is the storage."
"There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"We are satisfied with the parameters of Google Cloud Storage."
"There's no implementation process."
"I find the accessibility from various devices to be the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage. I also like that it is integrated with Gmail and Google Groups."
"Its performance and security features are valuable."
"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.

All Google needs to do is add the same set or maybe even improve on the sets that they have. All the analytics, including the Data Lake, would then be able to sit in Google Cloud Storage."
"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"Having more storage space would be an improvement."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
