"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"I like it because it's convenient. Google Cloud is also stable and scalable. The technical support is good as well."
"You can just connect and start using it through a browser within a few minutes."
"Google Cloud is perceived as a cost-effective and user-friendly option, especially compared to AWS. The current affordability and ease of use make it suitable for medium-sized companies. While the complexity may increase in the future, for now, Google Cloud is considered easy to use."
"I haven't had any trouble setting up Google Cloud."
"Google Cloud is very user-friendly."
"Google Cloud's most valuable features are its performance and ease of access."
"The features I found most valuable are the cloud run and cloud function."
"I like that it is simple to use."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The price could improve. Every customer would agree, that they would like the price to be reduced."
"Another issue is the applicability of local language data capturing mechanisms, which are more advanced on cloud service providers, but still there is room to grow. Also, their hybrid version isn't available in all markets worldwide, so I'm hoping that it will be released globally soon"
"The Notes application could be better."
"It is complex to set up."
"The product should be more cost-effective."
"Google Cloud lacks some tools for database migration. I've only used MySQL and AWS in my career, so those are the only ones I can compare. AWS has a database migration tool that you can integrate with a cloud backup, so can take that backup and restore it in the AWS public cloud, but it's not the same with Google Cloud."
"Training in new advancements, technologies, or AI would help us understand how to best use the solution."
"Could provide more services."
