"The best cloud platform I have ever used. Surely its No:1"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

Easy to use interface makes google cloud outstanding when compared with other service providers like amazon ec2 and IBM. Google cloud instances are so fast and there won't be any major network delay even if you host it in distant regions. Changing memory and CPU is so easy and anyone with basic knowledge can do it quickly. All the cloud options are listed under the single window like Firewall, Billing, Manage Instances and API etc, I feel lots of comforts when using google cloud console rather than using Amazon ec2 console. We can manage user access by directly adding ssh keys from the Google Cloud Platform itself. It is a nice feature since I can allow or disallow user access directly from the Platform. And regarding the pricing, I heard amazon ec2 is little cheaper than Google Cloud, but in my case, Amazon ec2 is too difficult to set up and manage when comparing to Google cloud. So I always prefer easy and quick solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

Didn't experience or notice anything yet. I never had downtime after migrating to google cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast platform with very expensive customer support"
3/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

Google Cloud Console is very open to its public, anyone can try this excellent platform that keeps servers always up and with few drops of connection. In the hosting of web pages has given an excellent power to my sites so I recommend its use for these jobs. The processing speed is brutal and the interface to control these operations is as simple as Gmail, thanks to Google for making this simplification. With respect to graphics processing and app building Google Cloud Console meets the expectations but I prefer Amazon AWS for these operations because the cost structure is more user friendly.

The trial version of $300 has allowed me to try almost all the functions of Google Cloud Console because what I decided to host several of my websites and was subscribed in a modest plan, so far I have not had major problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

Sometimes I have data conflict problems, several of my colleagues have told me this and for now has not been resolved by the technical team that charges very expensive to advise on such problems. The access is anchored to Gmail and this represents a breach in the security of Google Cloud Console because if someone has access to your password could make changes to your data. This problem occurs with all Google products, they are very centralized when it comes to logging in. I would also like to see an increase in website management functions as this market is very broad and that is what I use the Google Cloud for. It also requires the incorporation of more free advice as online tutorials due to the high cost of support on this platform. And as every service on Google is centralized in a context menu and visual appearance very similar to any of its services, this is good to remember the brand but plays against an environment that is completely separate from the normal Google environment as Google Docs, Google Drive, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid and stable infrastructure"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

Google as an iconic company will always make us unconsciously trust their products to support the operations of our company. Google Cloud Console achieves this objective not only by the brand behind it, but also by an infrastructure that is being updated and expanded every day. I like the design of the main page, very attractive and easy to register with only a gmail account, another positive aspect are the flexible prices with no upfront costs and very interesting free credits. Being a massively used platform the changes are very constant and this guarantees a sustainable development of the platform. The speed of data processing is incredibly fast especially when you need to process faster graphics, data analysis or whatever. For this reason it is highly recommended for handling large volumes of data, e-commerce, game development and IoT.

The location of google data centers is great and considerably reduces latency and this is appreciated in the continued handling of many data that needs to be dispatched in milliseconds. The native application that I have used the most is CloudFunctions that have allowed me to create APIs through Python that have allowed me to create very complex processes and the results have been satisfactory.

We have also migrated part of our infrastructure to Google Cloud Console and as a result we have obtained very fast, stable and secure websites that have allowed us to get more customers and sales. There are many advantages beyond the cheap service and is that using one of the largest networks in the world we expose ourselves to less latency and data processing in less time, coupled with this a high security and performance of the latest technology that is capable of handling thousands of simultaneous connections thanks to a large network of servers worldwide that ensure the security of our company's information even in the event of catastrophes.

The web console is easy to use but you should familiarize yourself with it because if you are looking to manage a single function such as file storage, you will find many functions that only a trained professional will understand. OAuth is a security sale but should be debugged to make access faster than the typical two-factor authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

Although it is common that technical support is not free on this type of platform, you have to pay a few hundred dollars to be able to have email support, for telephone support you must pay a few hundred additional dollars. You can also support yourself in Google forums or take specialized courses so that you do not depend on technical support. The above and lack of truly comprehensive courses to learn to manage the Google platform in the cloud are the biggest deficiencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best infrastructure in the cloud"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

This cloud platform for the general public and used by the private sector in large companies makes me rely heavily on to support my online operations. There are many techniques and processes that are saved by working in the cloud such as server maintenance and constant concern for data loss in catastrophic events. The Google brand provides confidence in this aspect with one of the most solid infrastructures that have been created in the cloud.

Google Cloud Console marks a step forward for its ability to carry out heavy tasks at an affordable cost and many servers around the world that ensure the preservation of confidential data and necessary for the operation of any company that decides to hire them.

The main advantage of Google Cloud Console is the ease in handling technical operations that save us a lot of money in the budget such as server maintenance and hiring engineers for its configuration and maintenance. Easily accessible anywhere in the world and through any device, Google Cloud has the right processing power without high upfront costs and with a system that only charges you for what you use. Google Cloud computing is very powerful and the speed to calculate and process data as graphics processing has been satisfactory, when we want more power simply hire additional CPU or RAM memory that is added instantly.

The storage is practically unlimited but subject to what you can pay, it is not a regular storage site but we use it for this purpose for the security of the platform. We have moved our data from Amazon S3 to be able to process it faster on a single platform and be able to interact with the APIs more easily.

MapReduce developed by Google puts the Google Cloud Console above its competitors by allowing the integration of computing and storage effectively, we have tested the free version and the handling of large data has been fabulous and considerably eliminates server waiting time.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

One of the things I don't like about this platform is the creation of copies of conflicting data, the same data is sometimes duplicated and creates processing problems. I think this is why some programs don't flow well in the Google Cloud. I would like to see improvements regarding third party access to the platform such as the implementation of more robust security controls. In the trial version it is possible to test GCP in an integral way but some functions are unlocked so it is not possible to do a complete test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent platform for learners of web development and experts who want to create fast web apps"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

I like the user documentation together with the platform specifics that make setting up and developing a data driven web app simple and fast. If you explore the different products on the console you can learn a lot about web technologies and generate new ideas that use them. I also especially like how to the platform is set up to automatically handle lots of traffic and the price seems reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

The online console for deployed web apps is crowded with info I did not quite understand, but this could easily be solved by learning more about the depicted info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The complete cloud control and management solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

As a web developer, Google Cloud Console is a real help for me. It provides almost all necessary tools and services required for a developer. It provides us databases, VM instances, cloud storage, and many more. The most attractive feature is that it provides $300 free credit for new users. Also, it has a nice-looking interface. It makes cloud access easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

There are variations in price ranges. But it is not a big problem. Also, it wasn't accepting my card for payment. Then I used another card to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Increase productivity from any place."
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

It really helps you to keep track and diagnose production problems from any place you could be -either a simple web interface or just a mobile application, allowing you to be aware of any changes through an alert system, letting you take basic measures to solve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

Personally, I haven't found anything that makes me uncomfortable about this program. If I need to choose one aspect would be the pricing, but since the service provided is espectacular, I'm willing to pay the price (which compared to its competition, you can consider it as cheap).

"Day to Day Ease with GCC"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

What I like best about the Google Cloud Console is that it helps diagnose production issues in a way that is digestable and easy to understand. If there is a specific issue it is broken down into language that our team can clearly understand and work to fix.

Another thing that I like about the cloud is the easy search functionality. In today's world the cloud holds so much data and sometimes you are just looking for one piece of information. With the automated search functionality that the cloud console offers, we're able to quickly find resources that may be stored and from there connect to the browser to continue the project we were working on with the data we found by searching in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

The initial ramping of the tool is a bit difficult. The level of knowledge that you need to have in order to understand GCC and how it works seems to be a lot. However, with some practice and time to dive into the cloud it becomes easier and easier and more relevant to your day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Easy, Efficient!"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

I really like using the Google Cloud Console to easily send multiple files to multiple people when doing group projects. It sends quickly and easily, and also allows me to work on other things while sending, which makes multitasking easy and effortless. Because of how streamlined it is, it's easy to see any updates and/or changes with files your sending/sharing in as close to real time as possible. It has been extremely helpful in working with people in different time zones while working on the same project as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

At first I disliked trying to add people to my group because it was a new interface (of course) and I wasn't used to it. But it didn't take too long to learn and wasn't that complicated. It's now super easy to add people with out the hassle. At first the download time took a bit longer than I expected, but after seeing everything this product can do, it makes sense that it took so long! And it has definitely been worth the wait!

"Great System That Has Everything In It"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Console?

The Google Cloud Console has everything you need for a website or an Android app. Virtual instances, APIs, databases and more! Best of all, it comes with a $300 free credit for new accounts. There is also a free basic instance for low-performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Console?

With all the things you can do with Google Cloud Console, they do not allow you to mine cryptocurrency using their servers. That is not a big deal but I am quite disappointed. And the price varies on the usage, so not recommended for high-performance users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
