"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."
"It is totally awesome in terms of scalability. Its scalability was the main reason for moving to Google Cloud. It also comes with a lot of features. We are satisfied with the features it has."
"Since the solution works with Terraform, it makes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) easier."
"The product is simple to use."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email. IAP can control the assets that only come from the dedicated company or IP address."
"The latest versions of the managed Kubernetes clusters are good."
"The platform’s most valuable features include storage, machine, and cloud functionality."
"It's reliable."
"It is a stable solution."

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."
"The product must be more user-friendly."
"The product’s migration process could be easier to understand."

"The product’s user interface must be more user-friendly and detailed."
