Best Cloud for Data-Related Workflows

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

In terms of data-related work, and especially for smaller teams, GCP is much easier to work with than its competitors. GCP provides everything needed for my role within itself, though it is flexible enough to allow us to integrate other platforms.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

In particular, Cloud Functions are much easier to deploy and orchestrate than, say, Lambda functions. BigQuery is a joy to work with and its cost is very transparent. GCP documentation is also plentiful and (more or less) easy to follow. Costs can get away from you, but in my experience GCP allows you to do a ton of valuable work at very little expense.

What do you dislike most about this product?

GCP's support is rather unresponsive at times. I am also disconcerted by Google's sharp willingness to deprecate products.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Despite its relatively slight market share, GCP is worth your time and consideration if your workflows are data-heavy. It is a much nicer platform than its competitors for these kinds of use cases.
