Google Cloud Console Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Google Cloud Console is its centralized platform for managing cloud infrastructure and services. It makes it easy to monitor and manage resources such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, and databases from a single interface. I particularly appreciate the monitoring dashboards, logs, IAM management, and deployment tools, which help me troubleshoot issues, track resource usage, and manage production infrastructure efficiently.

Google Cloud Console can sometimes feel complex and overwhelming, especially when navigating between multiple services and configurations. The interface is not always intuitive, and finding specific settings or troubleshooting issues can take extra time. Billing and cost analysis could also be more transparent and easier to understand, particularly when identifying unexpected charges. Additionally, some pages load slowly, and the frequent UI changes can make navigation less consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about Google Cloud Console is its intelligent search and unified resource navigation. It reduces context switching—I can jump between projects, regions, and service types in seconds using the global search bar. The integrated IAM policy viewer and activity logs provide clear, auditable visibility into who changed what and when. Across Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Storage, the console turns complex infrastructure management into a streamlined, everyday workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike is the inconsistent UI/UX across different services. Some pages feel modern, with good tables and filtering, while others feel dated. Slow load times for certain resources can grind troubleshooting to a halt. Error messages are often misleading and force me to dig into cloud logging just to understand what should be a simple permission or quota issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very powerful and intuitive to use. There are many applications you can access from the console, and it really feels like the sky is the limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like the billing information and all currently used resources to be more clearly visible at the top level of the cloud console in summary form Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is clean, easy to navigate and find what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The global search not always contains all the features, for e.g: On Apigee X, I can't search for Apps, therefore I search API Proxies or API Product, and afterwards once in the menu, I select the Apigee apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Google Cloud Console to manage and monitor data engineering workflows on Google Cloud Platform. It helps me to create, use, and manage resources like BigQuery, monitor jobs, check logs, and control permissions for data pipelines and analytics. I like Google Cloud Console's good GUI and its easy-to-use interface that enables centralized management of all services on GCP. It makes it simple to monitor jobs, view logs, and manage resources like BigQuery, Composer, and GCS efficiently in my day-to-day work. The initial setup of GCP was relatively easy for our team, especially with the guided UI and documentation provided by Google Cloud Console.I use Google Cloud Console to manage and monitor data engineering workflows on Google Cloud Platform.

I like its easy-to-use GUI and as well as Ease of Integration wiith one Email id and centralized management, which makes it simple to work with services like BigQuery, Composer, GCS, Airflow, and Datastream. I use GCP daily, and strong team support and documentation make it easier to handle tasks efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel slow and sometimes difficult to navigate especially when managing many services and while using BigQuery sometimes it got stuck when we process large data. Navigation in GCP Console becomes difficult because there are many nested menus and similar looking options, so finding the right service or setting takes time - especially when switching between multiple projects. With BigQuery, issues arise when handling large data like slow UI response while loading big query results, difficult tracking query history and limited visibility into detailed query performance without digging into multiple tabs.

One of the helpful features of GCP is that it allows developers to fully deploy, manage, and monitor all the services running on the platform. Developers can maintain a service account, use a bucket to deploy the necessary services, and, once everything is up and running, monitor all logging activities. Any issues can be quickly identified and resolved, as complete error traces are available. Overall, GCP provides developers with an all-in-one solution, making it easy to integrate and implement projects in a single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to all the useful features, one aspect of GCP that can be a drawback is the cost that companies must pay for these features. Each feature comes with its own price, which can be expensive for small businesses looking to set up. As a developer, I also feel that GCP is limited to laptops and lacks a mobile application, which affects portability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud offers an easy-to-use and highly intuitive user interface, which enables me to quickly get started with my tasks. One of the most valuable features for me is the billing dashboard, as it provides clear insights into my current spending and future forecasts. The IAM security recommendation tool is also extremely helpful for ensuring that access remains limited to only what is necessary. Additionally, the integrated cloud shell and code editor make it effortless to switch between development and cloud-related work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain elements of the user interface are not very responsive when using the mobile website. Additionally, aside from the asset inventory, there isn't another visual method to view the resources within each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how all the products in GCP is easily identifiable by their names and their logos. With the help of Google Cloud Console, I need not worry or carry the extra burden of remembering the commands to access each product. Cloud console with it's inbuilt terminal is truly a game changer. Ease of implementation of Console is very easy, you just have to login to the portal/web-app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer I'm often habituated to dark mode. Google cloud console does not have the option/ flexibility to change between light mode and dark mode. This feels bit of a friction for me while using Google Cloud Console. Although there is an option for customer support, it is usually picked up by AI and it is more of beating around the bush. The console gets logged of often for frequent usage it is bit of a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Google Cloud Console for project purposes largely due to its user-friendly and easy-to-use interface. I also really like their Virtual Machines and GPUs, which I use a lot for various services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works well but the huge pricing is the only problem. By making the services of Google Console for lower prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
