Google Cloud Reviews

I typically use the solution for creating infrastructure.

The governance feature is very good. 

There are several functions the cloud has, which are quite useful.

The virtual machines are very big. It isn't small, like Azure or AWS.

It's relatively inexpensive.

The stability is okay.

The solution can scale as well. 

The Spanish version is in beta. It needs to be farther along.

We'd like the solution to be smaller and lighter. It could be simpler. 

We'd like for some better integration from TerraForm.

The solution has okay stability, however, that said, it has a way to go before it keeps up to something like Azure. Even AWS is more stable.

The solution, as far as I can tell, is quite scalable. 

I also work with AWS and Azure. I find the stability okay with Google, and it is quite sizeable. However, AWS and Azure are more stable and lighter. 

The pricing is very good. We're happy with it for the most part.

It was cheap. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of being affordable. They are very competitive with other clouds. 

We're a consulting company and use the infrastructure created by the cloud itself. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We largely use the solution for hosting and for the database it offers.

Both the hosting and the database are the most valuable features on this product.

The analytics could be improved. I need to be able to give them to the client. It is there, but you have to go to Google Cloud to see it. I want it added as a service so I can add it to the client-side and make it easily sharable with my clients.

The management side for the database needs some work. Currently, you do everything from the app. It would be nice to have an interface where you can go in and maintain data and deal with records and do something online. Also the ability to migrate the database should be a bit easier. You can't just copy a database and make another duplicate. You have to do all that bit manually.

I've only been using the solution for a total of three months at this point.

So far, after three months, I can say it's very stable. I haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. It hasn't crashed at all.

This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure.

Everything in the few months we've used the solution has been great so we haven't had a need to contact technical support. I can't speak to how they are because I have never directly had to deal with them.

I've used Azure as well. I've used that for a while and now I've moved to Google Cloud. Then, for a client, I'm also going to use AWS.

We switched from Azure because the setup is too complex, and, on the scalability side, you have to set it up yourself and I found it didn't actually work well. You have to constantly monitor your server and then add a new VM. There's a lot more effort required which is unnecessary if you have a solution that cuts the workload down. Google simplifies things on many levels, and it does the scaling for you.

The initial setup isn't complex per se. It's simple once you understand it, but it takes some time to figure it out. Once you do, it's very simple afterwards. In our case, it took us two weeks to get everything fully operational.

We don't require any maintenance. We just need to make sure we keep our data clean.

I handled the implementation myself. I didn't require any consultants or integrators to assist me.

The licensing for Google Cloud seems to be quite cheap and they're actually quite reasonable in comparison to Azure, which, as it turns out, is quite expensive. Even though Azure has a data center in South Africa it's still quite costly. There's no scaling, so if you go with the VM, you pay 2500 Rand. When you add another VM, it's another 2500 Rand even though you don't use the whole thing. With Google, you can go up as incrementally as you need to, even if it's just 30 Rand.

With Google, there's no licensing. Everything is included, just been based on the usage.

We're just a customer. We don't have any special connection to the company in any way.

Obviously, with Google, everything is the latest version. Google updates everything for you, so there isn't usually a time when we're on an "old version" of the solution.

We use the solution on a daily basis.

I would recommend Google Cloud. At the moment it's in third place, according to the standards. Right now it's ranked AWS, then Azure, then Google. Even though it's technically third, it's much better to use and it's a much better environment.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our virtual machines. We put all of our software infrastructure onto virtual machines, and then we use Google as the cloud for storage. We use all of our own solutions inside and not their services so that if we did want to move to another cloud, like AWS, we could do so easily.

The initial setup is very easy.

We like that the solution is always available, and it would be simple to migrate as needed. 

We chose Google for its ease of use and value for money.

It is stable.

The solution can scale. 

I can't think of any improvements off the top of my head. 

The solution could be a bit cheaper.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

There were some glitches in the system years ago. That has since been fixed. Now, it is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It's of a very good standard. 

It is very scalable, and you need to pay for it if you want to expand. 

We've had to reach out to support in the past. I wasn't able to get help from Google directly. I found help using the user community. 

The solution is very straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. 

The solution offers the best value for money. 

I'm just a straightforward customer. 

I am not sure if we are using any specific version at this time. 

This is a good solution. You'd get done what you need to get done. There are many alternative solutions out there, however. What people need to know is if they will get their requirements met. This is a very capable platform. It's a good product to use and offers good value for money. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall. 

I am using Google Cloud to back up my files from my laptop. If I have any important information that I need to back up I use this solution.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security.

Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately three years.

Google Cloud is stable as long as you have a good internet connection.

The scalability of Google Cloud is good because if you need more space you only need to purchase more.

I have not contacted support.

The price of Google Cloud is affordable compared to others services. I pay monthly for the service.

I rate Google Cloud ten out of ten.

Everyone in my university is using the solution. We might have plans to increase our usage of the solution.

I have been using Google Cloud for personal learning and personal interest.

I use the non-SQL Firebase Realtime Database. I install, apply a database, and install my mobile data globally.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately one year.

Google Cloud is 100 percent stable.

I have not analyzed the stability of Google Cloud, but for what I use it for it has been good.

Sometimes the Google documents are difficult to learn from. Amazon has better support material.

I rate the support from Google Cloud a three out of five.

I have started using the Amazon Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud for comparative reasons. For my use case, Google Cloud was the best choice.

I would recommend Google Cloud to others.

I rate Google Cloud a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case is for shared server storage.

The overall function of Google Cloud for storage is exactly what I am looking for.

I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price.

I have been using Google Cloud for the past three years.

The stability of Google Cloud is currently good.

I believe you have all the options to scale as you find it necessary.

I used AWS previously because we were required to compare it with Google Cloud.

I would rate Google Cloud an eight on a scale of one to ten.

My primary use case is for cloud storage but I also use it for sharing documents with people who don't use Office 365. In my case, it's mainly for personal use and less for business. I'm a customer of Google Cloud. 

The storage is good and I think it's a good cloud source. I can access information from any client and from any device. It's convenient.

There are occasionally things which are inconvenient. For example, uploading pictures or files then requires you to transfer to a different folder. Maybe there's a way to choose where a document is uploaded to and that can be done directly. 

I've been using Google Cloud for a couple of years. 

The online documentation is very good and if I need help, I go to wiki and get a decent explanation. I've never been directly in touch with support. 

Licensing is paid on a monthly basis and I think the cost is reasonable. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

This solution is used for storing my data. It's for my family's personal I work as an information security officer.

I like that it's there anytime you need it. There is some security there and you can put 2FA on the folders and share with others if need be.

From my point of view, the security features could be improved. 

I've been using this solution for many years. 

I have a monthly subscription for Google storage.
