What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud is notably useful due to its scalability and powerful infrastructure, making it suitable for enterprises of all sizes. One of the most significant advantages is its superior data analytics and machine learning capabilities, like as BigQuery and Vertex AI, which assist enterprises in gaining insights and developing intelligent applications. It integrates seamlessly with other Google services, increasing efficiency and collaboration—particularly with technologies such as Google Workspace. Google Cloud also prioritizes security, including built-in capabilities such as identity management and data encryption. Its worldwide network offers consistent high performance and reliability across areas. Furthermore, various pricing structures and a pay-as-you-go mechanism make it affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

One disadvantage of Google Cloud is its steep learning curve, particularly for people new to cloud services. Some users find the interface and documentation to be more difficult than competitors. Pricing can sometimes be perplexing, and unexpected charges may occur if expenses are not closely monitored. Compared to AWS and Azure, Google Cloud features fewer third-party connectors and a smaller ecosystem. Certain services or support options may not be available in all regions. Furthermore, while Google Cloud is dependable, some consumers believe that customer service responsiveness may be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud is a convenient platform that remembers everything daily, so you don't have to. If you use a Windows-based device that utilizes Google applications, then using Google Cloud is simple, automatically integrates with ease, and just makes sense when you use it every day. AI supports various consumer needs, and when more complex issues arise, AI will get you connected with a Google technical support professional. You can develop applications, monitor analytics, and streamline workflows with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud provides users with a minimum amount of free cloud storage that many find inadequate for their needs. Thankfully, Google offers additional Cloud storage for an affordable monthly cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud solves the need for additional hard drive storage space and/or USB flash drives to store consumer information in an easily searchable format that is also easily accessible.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

I have used multiple Google Cloud services, be it there Compute Engine, Firestore and the Kubernetes Engine. I really like how easy it is to spin up a machine and deploy your application and User Interface is quite simple and straightforward. I had also used other Cloud Platforms but what impressed me was the BigQuery and how it makes data analysis on massive data so fast and simple. I have used Firestore services like Storage and Realtime database for my app developments, and like how smoothly they integrate and interact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I strongly believe that they should increase the time for the free tier, so that users get more time to look and try services and then lock them out. Some services also lack the level of regional availability compared to competitors like AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We develop apps and software for our clients and Google Cloud Services have rightly benefitted our projects in terms of storage, compute and API services. I had recently integrated the Geolocation API service into one of my apps in just one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

As a Google Cloud Administrator with two years of hands-on experience, I've had the opportunity to delve deep into the world of cloud computing. Working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) means always being at the forefront of technological advancements, offering robust solutions that scale seamlessly with business needs. The suite of tools available, from BigQuery to Kubernetes, is extensive and powerful, supported by a vibrant and helpful community that makes problem-solving a collaborative effort. The dynamic nature of cloud technology ensures there's always something new to learn, though the vast array of services can be overwhelming for newcomers. Keeping track of costs and optimizing spending requires constant vigilance, and mastering GCP's full potential demands significant time and effort. While rare, service interruptions can impact critical operations, and some areas of the documentation could be more detailed and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

As a Google Cloud Administrator with two years of experience, I've found that navigating the vast array of services can be quite overwhelming at times. It requires constant vigilance to manage costs effectively, and the steep learning curve demands significant time and effort. Occasionally, there are impactful downtimes that can disrupt operations, and some areas of the documentation could definitely use more detail and clarity. Despite these challenges, the role is incredibly rewarding and offers continuous opportunities for growth and learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the Google Cloud Administrator, I spearheaded the migration project. We began by assessing the current infrastructure and identifying which applications and data could be moved to the cloud. Using Google Cloud's Migrate for Compute Engine, we seamlessly transferred virtual machines to GCP, ensuring minimal downtime. For data storage, we implemented Google Cloud Storage, taking advantage of its high availability and durability.

To maintain a hybrid environment, we set up a secure VPN connection between the on-premises data center and Google Cloud. This allowed for smooth data transfer and communication between the two environments. We also utilized Anthos, Google's hybrid and multi-cloud platform, to manage and deploy applications consistently across both on-premises and cloud environments.

Throughout the process, we encountered challenges such as optimizing costs and ensuring data security. However, with the comprehensive tools and support available on GCP, we successfully navigated these hurdles. The result was a scalable, flexible, and secure hybrid cloud environment that met ShopEase's business needs.

Overall, my experience as a Google Cloud Administrator has been incredibly rewarding. The challenges have pushed me to grow professionally, and the successes have been deeply satisfying. If you're passionate about cloud technology and ready to embrace continuous learning, this role is a fantastic opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
