Is improving well but still needs some time.

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Its focus within the cloud is a massive advantage, it doesn't have the same offerings like Microsoft which offer MDM (intune) that works with Azure but what is offered from their SAML/SSO section is very simplistic and appealing, more so than Azure or AWS for application integration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am a big fan of the mail / calendar integration which works very well with 3rd party applications. We make great use of this with configuring and automation Meeting room applications using these together.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Storage permissions is the biggest annoyance, once they have a better and easier manageable access rights which are similar to MS NTFS permissions this will be a massive improvement.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We starting using this tool as our focus was on Development and we were a start up, this meant that because we made us of Mac much more than Windows at this point and wanting a focus within the cloud it made sense to use GCP. GCP did a great job but at a cost, as we've matured and expanded we have now a bigger fleet in Windows and while we have our Mac MDM we have built the ability to control our Mac fleet without GCP.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service

A cost-efficient cloud computing solution.

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Although many alternative public cloud systems are available, Google Cloud Platform is the most innovative, secure, and cost-effective one. Data-driven cloud-native workloads are a strength of Google Cloud. Both the service and the focus area are on the customer. The most cutting-edge public cloud platform from the Google stable is GCP or Google Cloud Platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

when anything go wrong, you are always able to look up a tonne of documentation. Google is the brand, and its cloud offers us a full ecosystem of additional services like Gmail, chat, etc. We can compute and store a lot of data. Simple to share and access from anywhere. Provides a bridge to less expensive classes. Allows for uploading huge files that are difficult to share over email.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We have a difficult time deploying this platform; however, integration is also a major challenge. There are not many things about this product that are bad. Even though there aren't many, understanding and using them effectively requires a little learning curve. Datalab's visualization features might use some improvement.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is yet another excellent platform from Google, as usual. We frequently use this platform to host some of our client's web pages and additional items like landing pages, photos, etc. This platform can handle sudden, significant increases in online traffic.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

Smooth and reliable cloud platform

Likeliness to Recommend

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Compared to competing database platforms, Google Cloud is significantly faster and easier to install, manage, and deploy. Documentation, code examples, and tutorials make it easy to start immediately; you don't need to worry about the setup process. The Google Cloud Platform, often known as GCP, is a cutting-edge, innovative, and successful cloud infrastructure platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The Google Cloud Platform is the greatest, and its cost is its best feature. GCP offers free credits to new users as well, and in addition, we can save money by utilizing the additional recommendations and cost-saving plans. The cost is the best aspect of GCP because it is a crucial factor for us and GCP offers us a great, adjustable cost plan.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It depends on a third party to store data. For small and medium-sized businesses, the cost is very high. When compared to its rivals, integration support may be improved. Constant details got in the way. There is a slight learning curve that must be climbed. The deployment did not go as expected. Space consumption is subject to a free usage cap. As your usage grows, you must pay.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The necessary computing resources to install, create, and run apps online are available via the Google Cloud Platform. When you deploy and run an app through the Google Cloud Platform, that is its best feature. A versatile solution, Google Cloud Platform offers enterprises specialized big data and analytics assistance. Extensive collections of files in different formats may be easily stored, managed, and shared.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service
