"Excellent software to simplify many operations"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Dataflow?

I like it because you can do many important things like simplify operations, also manage, transform data in a very special way. Also, you have a variety of how to implement each tool in this software. The credit that they give to be employed in Google Cloud is good because we learn even more how to handle this tool that for all of us who use it is essential.

"Powerful Machine Learning"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Dataflow?

There are users that require immense computing power to create. Google Cloud Platform can provide that without taxing valuable resources. With this, companies can offer the best graphics, images, and videos to their clients and to their audiences without sacrificing a pixel or a frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Dataflow?

GCP docs sometimes miss information on the interactions between components, e.g. preemptible instances, autoscaling, rolling updates, and the HTTP load balancer. Sometimes the docs will give you one sentence, and leave you to figure out all of the implications. AWS docs can be overly verbose, but they are usually quite good at documenting integration with other features and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy accessibility "
What do you like best about Google Cloud Dataflow?

With Dataflow, I can, with the touch of a button, turn on hundreds of computers working in concert to make a task that would have taken me hours on my laptop run in minutes. I do this with virtually zero understanding of the underlying technology - all I know is that if I write my transforms like so, then it works. As long as my task is amenable to the parallelization process, the only thing I have to do to go from thousands of records to billions of records is change how many workers I decide to use.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Dataflow?

I wish it had a better graphic interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Dataflow?

Google has always been my go-to search engine and so I went with the Cloud Dataflow expecting nothing short of the best. However, at times sharing data with other systems has proven to be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easily Navigated"
What do you like best about Google Cloud Dataflow?

The question should instead be, "What do I not like best?" The answer is simply nothing. I thoroughly enjoy using all the features of this software and have found that even its basic features are capable of making your work like so much more organized. Not only is it easy for upper level management to learn the software, they have made it fairly simple enough to train employees with minimal error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
