What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Google Cloud team is constantly innovating in order to stay competitive versus AWS, Microsoft, and IBM. For instance, Looker appears to be a top notch business analytics software giving business insight hidden in business data. Although I cannot claim at this point if IBM Cognos Analytics or Looker is better, still both are great and worthy of consideration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Given Google Search, Gmail, Google AdSense, and lots of Google products we are already using, Google Cloud can make your objective of moving to cloud more seamlessly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I find accessing Google Cloud products within Google Cloud account difficult to access due to security credentials that are needed to be provided. At times, I am just clueless about the tokens. So Google Cloud team can make this process easier while not compromising on security.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Clouds Startup Program can be a great way to avail cloud credit and see how Google Cloud works for your business use.
