Google Cloud offering portfolio and services

Reviewed on 7/10/2024

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 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!

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 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.

Google Cloud is one of the best tools a business can use. It offers many tools that are as powerful as other major office apps but offer a better multi-user experience. Why pay for other office applications when you can get them all included and makes sharing so much easier?

Through Google Cloud I was able to scale up the business in a horizontal way without facing any jeopardy with time consumption and money. It's given me the framework and resources to adapt, expand and remain at the forefront.

Pros

Reliable and strong infrastructure that fits my business needs. I like the variety of services you have, from compute and storage to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Its pay-as-you-go pricing model and its scalability enable me to adjust if there are changes in demand, without overspending.

Cons

The interface is more friendly than that of many competitors, but the dizzying array of services and configurations can feel daunting.

Based on my experience as a Google Cloud user, it has been very satisfactory, learning more every day and making my work much more efficient thanks to its robust and scalable infrastructure allowing companies to be at the forefront of technology.

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

Pros

We like the simplicity of Google Cloud, it's cross platform and so far has been pretty robust.

Cons

We believe Google scans our content to provide additional "useful" services, this was evidenced by a pop-up reminder to leave for the airport and the only way that could have been known was if Google scanned attachments sent in Gmail.
This happened many years ago but we switched to OneDrive for our storage to ensure privacy.
