Google Cloud as a Cloud Provider

5.0 last month New

Pros:

Google Cloud is an all-in-one cloud provider from Google, it has many features that we can use for free and also it can be integrated with many Google's products. The user interface is very simple and clean, it can be a perfect place for beginners to learn Cloud as well.

Cons:

One thing that Google Cloud can improve is the dashboard interface in monitoring. It's like everything is in the same window, sometimes it can be overwhelming to look at the dashboard monitoring tool.

Google cloud recommendation

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: I work for a channel that is a Google partner for education. I know all the goodness.

Pros:

I like that it is 100% native. It has many layers of security. Currently 9.4M is the cost per hack in an organization.

Cons:

Currently, many organizations use Microsoft and many are afraid to make the change from SQL to Google.

Necessary product for data storage

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: I had a great experience with this product, it even allowed me to share the storage space with my family which in my opinion is a great feature

Pros:

I like the ease of use, the price for the amount of storage given

Cons:

What I liked least about Google Cloud is that they didnt make me aware of incoming payment and I was unprepared for it.
