Google Cloud Storage Reviews

In my company, we have a multi-cloud environment in which we are using AWS and Google. So, we are using a mix of services, in which some of our work is on AWS, while the others are on Google. Mostly, we are using certain DevOps tools in our company since I am not a part of the team that handles the infrastructure.

In my department, Kubernetes, Docker, and some other DevOps-related stuff, like containers, are what we have been using on Google Cloud Storage. However, there might be some other teams who are using the infrastructure as well.

Although I cannot provide a detailed analysis of the solution's valuable features, I can say that its storage capacity is adequate based on my team's experience. We used to consult with our cloud team to get the storage, mainly related to volumes on the Kubernetes side, and they were able to align those things for us. So, I won't be able to specifically speak about its storage since when it comes to Kubernetes, there is also an open-source version available in the market. The service-based Kubernetes from Google is quite secure and helpful, specifically the GUI of the solution.

In my previous company, we used Google. More precisely, we were involved with it because earlier, I was using Azure, which we were specifically using AKS, which is Azure Kubernetes Service. So, AKS was a solution that was well-managed by both cloud providers. But compared to AKS, Google Kubernetes is better, especially its GUI and user-friendliness, because one doesn't have to search too much to find a solution.

Solutions from Amazon and AWS are quite better compared to Google Cloud Storage since they offer more services than Google. When compared to one of its competitors, Google Cloud Storage does not have or offer a lot of services to its users. So, this is one of the downsides of the solution. This might be because AWS has been there a long while Google has just come up in the last five years.

I have experience with Google Cloud Storage for three to four months. Also, I am using the solution's latest version. My company has a partnership with Google. The solution is a Google-managed service.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Google is quite scalable, especially Google Kubernetes. But again, it depends on why we are using the solution.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since the services provided by the solution are good. More than a hundred people in my organization are using the solution. From an admin point of view, around ten to fifteen engineers work on the solution. We also have an engineering department with users using it for their applications and other work

The solution's customer service and support are helpful since they are responsive. I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten.

If we use a managed service, then Google takes care of the maintenance part. However, if we use an infra one, we manage the maintenance part. I can't say how many people are involved in the maintenance phase because we have multiple applications, and people are involved from the application side and the IT side. So, it depends, and it is situational in nature, like if we are using infrastructure service, then it's all managed by us. Only the VM is managed by the cloud. However, if the application is installed, then the application is managed by the application team. And if any storage or network is associated, then that is all managed by us.

The deployment model for the solution consists of AWS, Amazon, and Google. To some extent, I think we also use Azure for O365 or M365, like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook.

There were no complexities involved in the installation of the solution. In our company, we only had to use the online services provided by Google to install the solution. Though most of the installation can be done online, we are dependent on certain deployment tools like Terraform and Ansible for easy deployment and integration.

Regarding the cost of the solution, Google offers its users a pay-as-you-go model pricing. The cost of the solution is handled by the department handling billing and procurement in the company. So, they used to come to us if they received any extra bills. Then, they used to ask us the reason for extra usage of the services since they always used to compare the solution's current usage with its usage in the past few months.

I previously used Microsoft Azure.

I am not sure if I would recommend the solution to others since I am not involved in the infrastructure side, where they actually use the solution for storage purposes. Since I am a part of the DevOps team, I use it to manage services like Kubernetes and containerization. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I'm using Google Cloud Storage for my photo, work files, documents, and a lot of PDFs.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the shared folder.

Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office.

I have used Google Cloud Storage for approximately 10 years.

Google Cloud Storage is stable. I have not seen any downtime and the cloud has been integrated with my local storage. Google has the feature for local implementation.

The scalability is good in Google Cloud Storage. I only need to purchase more storage if I want to expand.

I am using this solution for my office and we have a total of eight people using the solution. We plan to increase our usage in the future.

I have not contacted the support from Google Cloud Storage. However, it would be helpful if Google Cloud Storage had a quick support option when things might not be working correctly. For example, in the past, we have had issues with 
synchronization. However, this problem has now been fixed.

The initial setup of Google Cloud Storage is straightforward.

We do not have to pay for a license for Google Cloud Storage but there is a subscription that needs to be paid.

I rate Google Cloud Storage an eight out of ten.

We use it mostly for document storage and rarely for document sharing. 

It allows us to store documents when our internal data storage is insufficient. 

The best feature is the ease of use. You don't have to be savvy or learn about it in advance to use it. 

It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage. 

We have been using it two to three years. 

The solution is stable and fast with reliable internet connection. 

I haven't had any problems, so haven't had a need to contact them. 

We used internal storage but space was limited. 

We really didn't even need to learn using the videos, it is very easy to use. 

I'd rate it a nine because of ease of use. 

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.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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

Before I joined the bank, I was working as a consultant. All my documents are on the cloud so that they are available to me from any location. 

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is that I can link it with my PC. Everything syncs locally. Because they are on the cloud, I can access them from any device at any time. This includes my mobile. 

The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than 10 years.

The solution is stable and secure.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable. Currently, my wife and I are using it for our personal needs.

The purpose of Google Storage is to sell it. The product is subscription-based. When you pay, you will get more storage.

Anyone looking at using Google Cloud Storage should go ahead and implement the solution. Overall, I rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of 10.

We use Google Cloud Storage for sharing files between users.

What I like most about Google Cloud Storage is that it's very stable, very quick, and very useful.
