"Efficient Yet Sometimes Clunky Workflow Management"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

I use Google Cloud Console to manage and monitor data engineering workflows on Google Cloud Platform. It helps me to create, use, and manage resources like BigQuery, monitor jobs, check logs, and control permissions for data pipelines and analytics. I like Google Cloud Console's good GUI and its easy-to-use interface that enables centralized management of all services on GCP. It makes it simple to monitor jobs, view logs, and manage resources like BigQuery, Composer, and GCS efficiently in my day-to-day work. The initial setup of GCP was relatively easy for our team, especially with the guided UI and documentation provided by Google Cloud Console.I use Google Cloud Console to manage and monitor data engineering workflows on Google Cloud Platform.

I like its easy-to-use GUI and as well as Ease of Integration wiith one Email id and centralized management, which makes it simple to work with services like BigQuery, Composer, GCS, Airflow, and Datastream. I use GCP daily, and strong team support and documentation make it easier to handle tasks efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

I feel slow and sometimes difficult to navigate especially when managing many services and while using BigQuery sometimes it got stuck when we process large data. Navigation in GCP Console becomes difficult because there are many nested menus and similar looking options, so finding the right service or setting takes time - especially when switching between multiple projects. With BigQuery, issues arise when handling large data like slow UI response while loading big query results, difficult tracking query history and limited visibility into detailed query performance without digging into multiple tabs.

"Clean, Intuitive Console—Though Beginners Face a Steep Learning Curve"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

What I like most is the clean, intuitive interface. Unlike other cloud providers where dashboards can feel cluttered, the Google Cloud Console is well organized and easy to navigate. The Global Search bar is a lifesaver; I can jump from a VM instance to a Storage bucket or even a specific API in seconds just by typing. Overall, it makes managing complex infrastructure feel much simpler, especially for someone like me who doesn’t want to get lost in endless menus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

The learning curve is quite steep for beginners. While the interface is clean, the sheer number of services and the complex IAM hierarchy can feel overwhelming at first. Also, the billing and pricing structure can be confusing to track in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer’s Perspective - GCP"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

One of the helpful features of GCP is that it allows developers to fully deploy, manage, and monitor all the services running on the platform. Developers can maintain a service account, use a bucket to deploy the necessary services, and, once everything is up and running, monitor all logging activities. Any issues can be quickly identified and resolved, as complete error traces are available. Overall, GCP provides developers with an all-in-one solution, making it easy to integrate and implement projects in a single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

In addition to all the useful features, one aspect of GCP that can be a drawback is the cost that companies must pay for these features. Each feature comes with its own price, which can be expensive for small businesses looking to set up. As a developer, I also feel that GCP is limited to laptops and lacks a mobile application, which affects portability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Google Cloud Experience with Helpful Tools, but Mobile UI Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

Google Cloud offers an easy-to-use and highly intuitive user interface, which enables me to quickly get started with my tasks. One of the most valuable features for me is the billing dashboard, as it provides clear insights into my current spending and future forecasts. The IAM security recommendation tool is also extremely helpful for ensuring that access remains limited to only what is necessary. Additionally, the integrated cloud shell and code editor make it effortless to switch between development and cloud-related work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

Certain elements of the user interface are not very responsive when using the mobile website. Additionally, aside from the asset inventory, there isn't another visual method to view the resources within each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GCP Console - The pros and cons"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

I like how all the products in GCP is easily identifiable by their names and their logos. With the help of Google Cloud Console, I need not worry or carry the extra burden of remembering the commands to access each product. Cloud console with it's inbuilt terminal is truly a game changer. Ease of implementation of Console is very easy, you just have to login to the portal/web-app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

As a developer I'm often habituated to dark mode. Google cloud conosle does not have the option/ flexiblity to change between light mode and dark mode. This feels bit of a friction for me while using Google Cloud Console. Although there is an option for customer support, it is usually picked up by AI and it is more of beating around the bush. The console gets logged of often for freguent usage it is bit of an hassel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
