"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running.""Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better.""In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."

Cons
"The tool should increase its storage.""I would like to see better pricing.""Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly.""The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost.""What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage.""It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage.""User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users.""The solution should offer more free storage."

"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side.""I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints.""The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
