I Faced some challenges mostly with App engine and IAM , i didn't feel easiness in these areas. Also the authenication part is bit complex and not quite easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deploy applications using Cloud Run which can auto scale based on user requests. This service is particularly useful for eary SaaS startups who need to keep a tab on costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be useful to have an option to access a Cloud Run shell when the application running within it had a run time issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

google cloud ui for IAM releted not good , speed also not good network side . google team need to work on documention also . google team aslo team to wrok on avilablity of instance on all region . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the on demand availability and scalability of cloud function, where whenever certain event occurs it willl trigger the cloud function and it will create a container at backend to handle and process this request after fulfiling the request it will again destroy the machine and thus we are able to save our cost, we use cloud function in our custom ETL pipelline where whenever events like uploads in cloud storage bucket , pub/sub data produced then it will trigger the cloud function to process the data and store it in bigquery or in cloud storage.

In cloud functions for now i face problem in managing code , as all the code is need to be written in only one file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like their networking concept i.e. Virtual Private Cloud is a global resource in a gcp network and the routes are automatically created , similarly their new AI soultion Vertex AI has helped me to deliver lot of production level solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

everything is perfect, I personally dont have any suggestion for improvement but i think they should keep customer support persons who have hands-on knowledge on new AI solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud Functions, where the initial response time can be longer. Additionally, limitations on execution time and resource allocation might be considerations for certain use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can automate our day to day tasks without any need to configure the instance and are available on demand. And cost is based on the time period the cloud function is running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it can only be active for only 9 minutes and are little bit expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless integration with other Google Cloud services, the scalability that allows for efficient handling of varying workloads, and the ease of deployment and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback I can recall is the cold start latency. I have faced in my project, when a function is invoked after a period of inactivity, it can experience a delay due to the time it takes to initialize. And it have caused issue and have impacted the responsiveness of real-time applications. Additionally, the lack of support for certain programming languages might be a limitation for developers.

I have used several Google Cloud sevices like VM instaces, BigQuery, Looker Studio, Cloud Composer, Cloud Storage etc. and have loved the overall experience of using the GCP services. It is actually pretty smooth to set up the whole cloud environment and give roles and permissions and use services. And most of the services are able to be integrated with other softwares quite easily. You can use Airflow directly with Google cloud composer, which is pretty great. I have been using GCP services since almost two years, on a daily basis and have been loving the overall google cloud environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have faced slow data refresh rate at times with Looker Studio. It used to take a long time to get updated data in sheets and it can't handle heavy data easily.

Also, GCP has definitely matured over the years, if we compare it to AWS, but still there are several areas where the services need to be more mature.

Also, one more thing which I noticed in my previous work was that there is no option to pause a Cloud composer environment. So, one will have no other choice but to delete it since you will still get charged if you don't delete it and in case you want to pause it for a while. And you will lose all your configurations and set up you did on the environment and will have to set new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
