A perfect solution to create Virtual Machines (VRs)

My overall experience with Google Cloud is really positive. I would recommend it if you need to create a virtual machine on the cloud.

Pros

Google Cloud enabled me to create virtual machines for running diabetes control and monitoring systems using the Nightscout solution. The dashboard is incredibly intuitive and provides all the necessary information on resources, compute engine, APIs, and Google Platform status. The documentation is excellent. I would highly recommend Google Cloud for virtual machine solutions.

Cons

Even though I'm a simple user with no real IT background, I was able to create a virtual machine for diabetes monitoring purposes. The guidance was very helpful.

My Google cloud review

Pros

What I liked most about Google cloud is the automatic backing up of all my photos and files. It's especially convenient when I forget to do it myself. And clears up tons of space on my device that would otherwise be full.

Cons

What I like least about it is that I have to pay for it. I feel like cloud storage is something that should be free for everyone given how much money Google already makes off us all.

GCP is very poweful, great UX

It has been good, I came from on-premise/physycal servers, and the inherit tools of the cloud are incredible useful. But maybe, this features are not exclusive of GCP, other vendors has similar features. In general, the UX of GCP is great.

Pros

the flexibility, the easy way to setup new resources and features, also the monitoring tool is powerful.

Cons

The stability of the Ops Agent, that is the plug-in installed at OS level to get logs and metrics, it is very common to have failures and it impacts because we loose visibility

Reasons for Choosing Google Cloud

Best in class cloud products

We consistently use GCP for data management and reporting infrastructure. Support is always a quick call/email away and often if the rep doesn't have the answer, they have the resources available to them to get the answer (no matter how technical).

Pros

GCP has a massive set of products we use on the regular from ML-based, virtual PCs and SQL; they typically have a free-tier you can use to develop on to see if larger deployments will be worth it.

Cons

There's a lot of products/APIs you can leverage and sometimes knowing which one(s) is/are best can be a whole thing in of itself.

Google Cloud - The Fort Knox of Cloud Storage

By far this product satisfies our needs perfectly, it does what it says it does, and better than anyone else.

Pros

the sheer amount of space Google can handle as well as the safety of mind in trusting their security protocols, and the cost is feasible if not industry leading.

Cons

It can be a lengthly process to upload large amounts of files, that would be the only complaint I could list.

Pros

It provides an extensive range of services that address every aspect of cloud computing, from computation and storage to databases, networking, and analytics. The worldwide network infrastructure of Google Cloud guarantees high-performance, low-latency communication across many areas.

Cons

Google Cloud: Reliable, Scalable, and Secure

As a business owner, I've been using Google Cloud for a while now, and it has been a game-changer for our operations. The scalability and reliability of its services have allowed us to grow without worrying about infrastructure, and the integrated collaboration tools have made teamwork seamless. I highly recommend it to any business looking for a powerful, flexible, and secure cloud platform to support their growth.

Pros

Google Cloud offers impressive advantages, including unparalleled scalability and performance, cost-efficiency, robust security measures, cutting-edge AI and machine learning capabilities, a globally distributed infrastructure, and seamlessly integrated collaboration tools.

Cons

A common challenge with Google Cloud is its complex pricing, making it hard for businesses to predict costs, especially if they're new to cloud services. To manage this, tools like the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator and budget alerts can help keep expenses under control. Working with Google Cloud experts can also make choosing the right services easier and get the most value for your investment.

Google Cloud offering portfolio and services

Based on my experience with Google Cloud, I have had the opportunity to see how it has evolved over the last 7 years. Without a doubt I can say that Google Cloud offers a complete portfolio for computing, networking, data, data streaming, data ingestion, container-based applications, following all cloud models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS). I believe that Google Cloud's main strength today lies in its offering of data management, AI, BigData, Business Intelligence and Infrastructure for database services.

Pros

Google is one of the top 5 cloud providers. In terms of network it has the largest stretch of undersea cables in the world, meaning its cloud services can be offered literately everywhere. The main strength in term of cloud services is the data portfolio, which makes companies of all sizes (startup, small, mid and large) transition into a data-driven model easily and following known best practices.

Cons

The main disadvantage of Google Cloud is the native tools and services for DevOps capabilities, which do not really offer a mature environment for developing continuous integration and continuous delivery strategies. However, Google Cloud integrates with open source tools, such as Terraform, Github Actions, among many other community tools and services. In fact, almost all existing DevOps-oriented tools and services are compatible with Google Cloud.

Google Cloud- Never worry about losing your important stuff, again!

I've been using Google cloud for a very long time, and its alwayd nice having that peace of mind knowing that all of your stuff is safe!

Pros

As long as you know your password, or you have access to the devices that you're signed into the cloud with, you'll NEVER have to worry about losing any of your most important photos, contacts, apps, etc.

Cons

You only get 15 GB for free, and after you've used all of that, you're required to purchase additional storage. I currently pay $1.99 for an additional 200 GB of storage, which is really nice, but I don't like having to pay for it.

Pros

It is convenient to have my files saved up in one place and I love the reliability of being able to save everything I need efficiently. Google cloud has that impact on its customer where reliability meets satisfaction.

Cons

There is really not much to say here is it? Google cloud makes up for its small defects where it falls to where it rises to meet customer needs. I am heavy depended on Google cloud becuase having a cloud storage is a necessity overall. So what I like least about being a Google cloud customer is why haven't thought of going premium earlier.

Pros

Google Cloud Platform offers a wide range of benefits that make it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes looking for a secure, scalable, innovative and competitively priced cloud platform. Another key aspect is the commitment to operate sustainably and reduce its environmental impact.

Cons

It is somewhat complex for inexperienced users, as it has a wide range of services and configuration options, costs can increase rapidly if high performance services are used or large amounts of resources are consumed, and companies become dependent on Google's infrastructure and services

Secure and easy-to-use platform

For development and data analysis, Google Cloud has not only provided me with virtual servers and the ability to handle increased traffic in my projects, but it has also allowed me to securely store all user images and data.

Pros

Google Cloud is a very convenient resource to use, offering a wide range of tools for data analysis. Additionally, its integration with other Google tools is excellent, and the built-in security measures allow you to work with confidence and peace of mind.

Cons

Although Google Cloud excels in terms of its functionalities, one aspect I don't like is the customer support service, as they can sometimes be slow to respond.

I am very pleased with it. Once you get the hang of it is it pretty intuitive at times.

Pros

If you are building a full infrastructure application then Google Cloud is amazing! It has all of the tools that you need for your backend development.

Cons

VERY confusing at first glance. It requires patience and grit to get back the learning curve. It is recommended that you hire a dedicated Google Cloud person.

Most secure drive

The ease of use of this platform makes it the best choice for me. It supports many data formats. For upgrades it does not require downtime. Customer support is quite good.

Pros

It stands out for its ease of use, with intuitive configuration and management. Really easy to use. Customer service is fast and efficient. I use it on a daily basis for office and personal work. The feature set is extensive and comprises much more than a database, with seamless integration into existing workflows. Its simplicity ensures smooth business continuity. Google Backup & DR is a very good decision and investment. Set it and forget it, knowing that your data is safe.

Cons

Limited free storage can be quickly depleted with large photos and files, forcing you to pay for more storage. I still find it invaluable.

Spend Some Time Getting Lost in the Google Clouds

Google Cloud is a breeze to navigate, and even the most easily overwhelmed tech user can figure this out. Need help, just Google it! Hahaha. I’ve had no issues troubleshooting by myself even with complex projects with pressing deadlines.

Pros

I most like that Google Cloud is integrated into the Google Suite. As a frequent Google user, there isn’t a more seemless choice for online storage.

Cons

I find it a little bit clunky and slow. As an Apple aficionado by choice, I prefer iCloud on devices. Sometimes using Google products, the integration may be a little slow for certain functions.
Overall, however, they are pretty fast. I haven’t had very many issues!

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Creative Cloud

Only a limited amount of storage is free on Google Cloud, but after that the prices are a bit costlier. Otherwise, it is a great tool at disposal.

Google Cloud Review

In summary, Google Cloud software offers a powerful and flexible solution for businesses looking to harness the full potential of cloud computing. With its excellent integration capabilities, robust security measures, and commitment to continuous innovation, I would highly recommend Google Cloud to anyone seeking a reliable and advanced cloud platform. It has certainly transformed how we operate and collaborate, and I am excited to see what new features and enhancements are on the horizon.

Pros

One of the standout features of Google Cloud is its seamless integration with other Google services. The synergy between Google Workspace and Google Cloud Platform makes it incredibly easy to collaborate and share resources across teams. Whether we’re working on documents in Google Docs or analyzing data with BigQuery, the ability to connect different services enhances productivity and promotes efficiency.

Cons

The only thing I can say I wish was different would be the price as I wish it was more available to everyone no matter their budget.

Solid and easy-to-use platform

Google Cloud has been reliable and powerful, with great features once you get past the initial learning curve.

Pros

Google Cloud is super reliable and easy to scale, which is great for handling big projects. I love how smoothly it works with other Google services, and the security features make me feel good about storing important stuff there.

Cons

Sometimes the pricing can be a bit confusing, especially if you're not keeping a close eye on usage. I also wish there were more straightforward tutorials for some of the advanced features—it can feel a little overwhelming at first.

I highly recommend it because it is wonderful and very useful for all humanity.

Great experience.
I can't do without Google Cloud.

Pros

It allows me to keep a copy of all the files that I want to keep for long periods. I can also control any file in the way it is saved and arranged, and I can delete it at any time I want.

Cons

The free size is small, and I expected the free storage space to be higher.

Great Software For Data Mamagement

Pros

I use Google Cloud on a daily basis. It's one of the easiest softwares for me to store my files and answer emails. There is an app for every feature and it integrates seamlessly into my phone. Most people have a Google account; when I email new people, they are familiar with the software I am using.

Cons

Google Cloud has great integration to my phone. I would say the growth area is having more personalization options.

Great cloud storage platform with easy integration to existing interface

Extremely positive overall, with simple integration with existing apps and software and ample, fairly priced (when not free) storage capacity.

Pros

It's already interfaced with many of the tools I use on a day to day level.

Cons

Lack of insight into additional benefits. Lack of human support or services.

A Solid Cloud Service Choice

I love using Google Cloud and rely on it frequently. I recommend it to friends and colleagues. As many companies now use Google Cloud, it is much easier for me as a freelancer to access and share documents smoothly.

Pros

Google Cloud is user-friendly, reliable, and highly scalable. It offers a seamless experience, especially for businesses needing a flexible cloud environment. I love its intuitive interface and robust tools. Most of my clients use it too.

Cons

Although I use free versions, or those included with my Gmail accounts, or provided by my clients, I imagine Google Cloud can be pricey, especially for smaller businesses. Accessing specific drives can be tricky, with challenges in navigating folders and locating shared files. Managing permission rights can also be confusing, making it hard to control who can view or edit certain documents.

Everyone needs at least one Cloud

Excellent in every way. It always offers peace of mind to know that what ever is in "the cloud" is secure and I never have to think about it.

Pros

Everything. There is nothing to dislike about Cloud, unless you fill it up. But there is an easy cure, just get more storage!

Cons

There are no cons for me. At All!!!!! I was not familiar with what the Google Cloud was or what it did. But as I became familiar with it and what it was capable of I wished I had been able to use it way before I did.
