What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I was using Google Cloud from college life, for study purpose, for training, and to understand cloud computing from college to job life and did not face any issue in using Google Cloud platform. That's why I never face any situation that makes Google Cloud dislike so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Google Cloud solve lot of problems in my B2B company like providing me Google Map services with 90 days free trial, provide me Firebase Services for my Flutter Application (Services like Google Cloud reCAPTCHA, Firestore, Firebase Authentication etc.). Also GCP provide me Cloud Run service which is use in Next.js and React.js website for CI/CD, So our Client can see company's webstie and some investment in our webstie. So that's why I think Google Cloud Platform is a very good platform B2B and Large B2C compaines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google cloud function is a fantastic serverless computing service, that I've found useful for handling event-driven tasks. The simplicity is what I like most, without worrying about managing servers, just write your function, deploy and leave the rest to Google to handle it. It's extraordinary for lightweight tasks like processing real time events, automating workflow or integrating with other GC services. The scalability is also impressive, functions being able to scale automaticlly, reducing cost based on usage only, which actually is cost effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Altough with all the postives, there are few drawbacks too. There is a long learning curve for someone wants to try. It's easy to set up simple functions, but things are tricky when it comes to managing complex project. Debugging and logging system is functional but clunky at times. Troublesome integrating with other ecosystem other than google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's helping us to create integration between system like Netsuite, Shopify, ErpNext Frappe, Google Sheets. Other than that Authentication using Firebase authentication also customer engagemet through DialogFlow. We are using pub-sub for streamlining errors to centralised app, allowing us to overlook the execution of apps seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Feature I like most about GCP is it provides high availability, scalability, fault tolerance, read replicas depending on different services. On top of it, also gives option to implement serverless application in which we don't have to provision any infrastructure of out application, it is automatically managed by Google Cloud only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

To manage data from on-premises to Google Cloud is difficult as networking is too much difficult to manage in GCP. And another thing I dislike is to manage billing, it doesn't give combine billing of some services like Cloud Dialogflow. It should also give notification if some resources have not been used from a longer time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As mentioned earlier, it provides serverless deployment option so we don't have to manage any infrastruture so untimately it removes headache to provision servers. It's great tool for analysis purpose using Bigquery and Looker. Another great thing I used so many times is Cloud Marketplace which gives feature to integrate third party providers to our application. It also stores archive data for a longer period which reduces storage cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has very view data center location, currently only 3.

There are less options for querying data or modifying arrays etc but that's understandable.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

The different services available under one umbrella such as computation engine, virtual memories, firebase, crashlytics, Google Analytics, etc. help the developers to use them effectively. Plus 300 free credits are an incredible gift to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its documentation is quite lengthy and complex to start with. One has to deep dive a lot to understand and start developing effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is solving the problem of hosting the apps on a server with big virtual memories. Along with that, it helps in maintaining realtime data stores on its app which is quite helpful. Plus, the crashlytics allows analysing the real time crashes within any application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
