One of the easiest Public Cloud Platform

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Google Kubernetes Engine is much better managed on GCP as compared to other public clouds. The auto-pilot feature is something that is very unique and scales the Kubernetes cluster automatically without any manual intervention.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best service that I find on GCP is BigQuery. It is definitely a one stop shop for your Data Warehousing needs. It is extremely easy to implement and use. It provides us the flexibility of scheduling our queries and performing data transfers with minimal efforts

What do you dislike most about this product?

I think GCP has almost all the cloud services a public cloud can offer. They are improving constantly and are bringing new features to their services every month. I don't dislike anything about GCP.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is one of the easiest public cloud to learn and implement I feel. Services are more or less pretty straightforward however going through a training on GCP will definitely help understanding the cloud platform much better

Is improving well but still needs some time.

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Its focus within the cloud is a massive advantage, it doesn't have the same offerings like Microsoft which offer MDM (intune) that works with Azure but what is offered from their SAML/SSO section is very simplistic and appealing, more so than Azure or AWS for application integration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am a big fan of the mail / calendar integration which works very well with 3rd party applications. We make great use of this with configuring and automation Meeting room applications using these together.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Storage permissions is the biggest annoyance, once they have a better and easier manageable access rights which are similar to MS NTFS permissions this will be a massive improvement.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We starting using this tool as our focus was on Development and we were a start up, this meant that because we made us of Mac much more than Windows at this point and wanting a focus within the cloud it made sense to use GCP. GCP did a great job but at a cost, as we've matured and expanded we have now a bigger fleet in Windows and while we have our Mac MDM we have built the ability to control our Mac fleet without GCP.
