"Solid Cloud Platform"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

What i really like about google cloud is how well it integrates with other google services, If you're already in google ecosystem for example using gmail, google workspace or bigquery. I used google cloud services daily and everything feels just seamless. The UI is clean and i expecially enjoy the speed and reliability of services like compute engine and cloud storage. Pricing is also very competetive. Even non technical person can use most of the services by google cloud, and for developer its very easy to integrate with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

So the only thing i dislike about google cloud is its invoicing and the billing dashboard its very overwhelming. There are times when i could not identify the charges as the services for being i am charged is not clearly mentioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best reliable cloud hosting provider"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud is one of the most reliable cloud hosting provider, I have been using it for the past 2 years and so far I did not face any issues. Mostly I use Google Cloud Virtual Machine with Static IP, they charge for the ingress and egress charges through that IP Address, the configuration I choose for the VM comes under always free tier and I don't have to may anything for the VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

They don't have any dedicated technical support which I feel is a must for a cloud hosting provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Navigating the Cloud: A Two-Year Journey as a Google Cloud Administrator"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

As a Google Cloud Administrator with two years of hands-on experience, I've had the opportunity to delve deep into the world of cloud computing. Working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) means always being at the forefront of technological advancements, offering robust solutions that scale seamlessly with business needs. The suite of tools available, from BigQuery to Kubernetes, is extensive and powerful, supported by a vibrant and helpful community that makes problem-solving a collaborative effort. The dynamic nature of cloud technology ensures there's always something new to learn, though the vast array of services can be overwhelming for newcomers. Keeping track of costs and optimizing spending requires constant vigilance, and mastering GCP's full potential demands significant time and effort. While rare, service interruptions can impact critical operations, and some areas of the documentation could be more detailed and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?
