The best thing about Google Cloud KMS is its seamless integration with other Google Cloud services. It allows us to easily manage encryption keys and maintain compliance without compromising on security. The ability to rotate keys, maintain multiple versions, and control access via IAM ensures that our data is always encrypted and secure. Additionally, the audit logging feature gives us complete visibility into who accesses our keys and when which is critical for compliance and security oversight.

While Google Cloud KMS offers excellent features, the pricing can become steep for organizations managing a high volume of encryption keys or running large-scale operations. Additionally, some advanced configurations can be complex for new users, and there is a learning curve when setting up integrations with external key management systems. More streamlined documentation and use cases for these advanced scenarios could improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
