I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. Various factors come into play when considering the adoption of Google Cloud. Cost is a significant consideration, but it's not the sole factor. The availability of skilled developers in the market, technology support, scalability for future growth, and the range of products offered are also crucial. Additionally, the ease of finding Google Cloud-certified developers and the level of support from the company or vendor contribute to the decision-making process.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten. They should work on the cost. It is not feasible for many organizations to pay 1,500 per user.

Google Cloud came late to the game, so it's not used as much as AWS. We can give it a try because it's easy. It’s easy to configure. It gives us another option. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I rate Google Cloud a six or a seven out of ten. I don't think I could recommend Alibaba Cloud people to use Google. The biggest problem is price, and there's no comparison. Moreover, Google has to improve its storage and scalability. Today, most users need storage and computing power, especially with ChatGPT-type AIGC. Usage is taking a lot of computing power. Public cloud services' usage by normal individual users is on the rise.

I haven't used a lot of cloud products and haven't experimented too much with Google Cloud, beyond playing with Google Workspace. From what I have experienced, I would rate it seven out of ten.

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.

There is not any specific maintenance required to be done with the solution. My advice to others is for them to take all the advantages of the free tiers from each cloud solution vendor and then decide what they want to use. I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

My company uses Google Cloud. My company has around ten Google Cloud users. I'm rating Google Cloud as eight out of ten. I deducted two points as the price could be lower. Google Cloud is a solution my company usually recommends to clients. I'm a Google Cloud user, and the company I work for has no partnership with Google.

From a maintenance perspective, we have cloud architects who are working on what data can go where and what infrastructure we require from the cloud service providers. This is a team of ten. I would advise others considering this solution to always plan and have a good blocking service before moving anything to the cloud. It is important to complete an evaluation of sing the solution long term and to take cost provisioning, availability of services, cyber security, credibility and compliance into consideration. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I rate Google Cloud 10 out of 10. People have limited knowledge of cloud solutions. My advice is that for those considering migration to the cloud is to evaluate the on-prem and cloud alternatives as much as possible because you can make wrong decisions if your perspective is limited.

Prior to using Google Cloud, I was unaware of how it exactly worked. They provide you with all the information you need, including how it works, how it is structured, and how the tasks are done. I have already recommended Google Cloud to others because they will know how their files are transferred, how their security is maintained, and what exactly the servers do in the background. I would rate Google Cloud an 8 out of 10.

We have employed every type of deployment, five of the applications being deployed on private clouds, others - both Google and Microsoft - being publicly deployed. We have a bit of everything. I limit my rating of Google Cloud to an eight out of ten.

This is a good product, but I wouldn't immediately recommend it because there are a lot of options available. People have to choose based on their requirements and location. There is not much different, so people have to look at particular requirements, cost, and support. I agree that cost is a factor but support should also be considered because it is needed from time to time, and Google does not provide free support. Given that we are paying for the machine, we should have to pay for costly support in addition to that. This is a good product but I would like better monitoring, alerting, and reporting. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We provide private networks, what we call VPNs. It is the older, traditional VPN type service for our customers, which gives them security and performance metrics that you can't get from the internet. We have a gen engine that has that interface into the cloud providers including Google. We don't by services from Google, we are not even doing infrastructures, or platform as a service or software as a service. We are not using this solution in my organization. We have our own internal storage for security reasons, and predominantly, we use it in-house. We call it orange, it's flex storage. It's our intranet. We either use in-house or have exclusive arrangements with companies. The concept of the cloud is great, you have the scale, you have the financial model, metered pay as you go, those are great, but what's worse is that it's a black box. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.

The lesson I learned from adopting Google Cloud is that you should do more training before you commit to it. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Google Cloud as an eight-out-of-ten. You can not have a perfect platform. There is always room for improvement and something to add. That rating is really because of the feedback I get from the team. I get good feedback from the guys. But it is not really fair of me to give any product a ten if I am not more intimate with it in daily use. I could just as well give it a one if I were totally ignorant of the product, but that would not mean anything.

Google Cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service Cloud (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution that provides infrastructure tools and services for building applications on top of a public cloud computing platform. As one of the leading global infrastructures, this product allows users to securely manage enterprise data, receive valuable insights, and store documents. Google Cloud provides its various services through tools and services for data warehousing, security key enforcement,...
