# Google Cloud Deployment Manager Reviews **Vendor:** Google **Category:** [Cloud Infrastructure Automation Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-infrastructure-automation) **Average Rating:** 4.6/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 27 ## About Google Cloud Deployment Manager Create and manage cloud resources with simple templates ## Google Cloud Deployment Manager Reviews ### 1. Deploying A Ready-To-Use Cloud Server Within Clicks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas F. | CEO, Sports, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Google Cloud Deployment Manager makes it so simple to deploy a server instance. While previously we had to pay set-up fees to server providers for the same task, now it can be done via a user-friendly click-to-deploy admin panel. SSH can be accessed easily, and instances can be stopped and deleted within clicks. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Customer support response time should be improved for a better experience, as the user has to rely primarily on the knowledge base, which can be a lengthy process if the issue is yet to be identified. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Google Cloud Deployment Manager eliminates the need for having a middle-man to deploy your server. You create an instance, stop it, delete one, and recreate another without any technician costs per se. ### 2. Great but underestimated GCP IaC tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bartek M. | Consulting Systems Engineer **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Consistent and easy to use control structures. Creating multiple copies of a resource with complicated conditions is a breeze when using DM's jinja templates and probably even easier in python (compare it to terraform's "use count for condition" hack or 3 different for-loop syntaxes). I also love the visualisation of resources and sub-templates in GUI. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Nobody uses it! In other words - Google teams actively advocate against Google's own product in favor of terraform. The consequence is a lack of development in DM and the general vibe of "we would kill that product if we didn't base Marketplace on it". Many advanced new features are not available or not officially supported (try adding an instance to an unmanaged group). **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rapid deployment of infrastructure in Google Compute with great visualisation. I use it to demo cloud solutions and architectures to our customers. It's quick and reliable enough to deploy *during* meeting and not an hour before. ### 3. Google Cloud Deployment Manager: Professional & Reliable Cloud Deployment Solutions **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas F. | Chief Investment Officer, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I love the multiple Click-To-Deploy applications, available within the marketplace. It takes less than minutes to set up a Cloud Instance including the application fully running. I love the CDN options, plus the options to choose the number of dedicated IPs you need. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Pricing for some application is a little expensive as compared to other providers. I believe they would work on a fix for this aspect. That would be perfect. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** I recommend without any hesitation. They are amongst the best on the market at this moment. Really powerful and almost unlimited options. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We managed to have fully operational and running website within a day. Google Cloud Deployment Manager is also so comprehensive that we did not have to purchase any required components with 3rd parties. ### 4. Infrastructure as code: manage your resources and deployments on Google Cloud **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Janaka B. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** A flexible infrastructure-as-code solution for Google Cloud: like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation Supports most of the popular Google Cloud Platform services and resource types (VMs, Cloud SQL, Storage buckets, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions etc.) Simple declarative syntax that claims to support all forms of underlying APIs (as supported by the particular cloud service) Ability to externalize variable or sensitive parameters as template inputs Ability to extract outputs from the template for dealing with generated/updated resources Custom resource support, and fully customized template processing via inline Python and Jinja2 snippets Accessible via the CORS-friendly REST API and gcloud CLI **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** There is no rollback mechanism! An absolute necessity for such a resource management utility; but there is no mention of rollback in the API or docs. Lack of proper documentation on end-to-end usage of the API; even for the usual flow (preview, submit, monitor) Deployment Manager internally converts the template to API calls, hence there is no way to find if a particular operation is supported until it gets invoked at runtime (e.g. unlike CloudFormation which has extensive documentation on supported operations and modes for each resource type) There are cases where a deployment can end up in an inconsistent state, especially if the previous one has failed. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** There are certain cases where a deployment can go into an inconsistent state, especially after the previous one has somehow failed. Beware; there are no automatic rollbacks - contrary to what you might have expected! If you are struggling to find a proper call sequence for invoking the Deployment Manager via its API, check out something like https://dzone.com/articles/deploying-your-stuff-with-google-cloud-deployment **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Deployment Manager for deploying Google Cloud Platform based serverless projects in our Sigma cloud IDE. It offers a unified user experience (we similarly use CloudFormation for AWS-based Sigma projects), and the deployments are quite fast and fairly reliable. ### 5. Google Cloud Deployment Manager: The Complete Solutions For Cloud Applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Isabelle F. | Director, Entertainment, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I love the fact that many (multiple) resources can be deployed at the same time (in parallel) within the Deployment Manager. The process is also pretty simple thanks to the template-driven features. The hierarchical view within the Deployment Manager is a feature which I greatly like also: this enabled us to view all deployments at a time, in an organized manner. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** There are not many things that I dislike as such. A recommendation would be to keep adding automated and 1-click to deploy features. A lower pricing on some components would be amazing also. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** I highly recommend any individuals or businesses to try Google Cloud Deployment Manager. This will greatly make them get the edge in their business. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were able to optimize our IT infrastructure and prepare the way for a fully computerized system within the company. ### 6. Best Production Deployment Software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashmit S. | Associate Business Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** The template present inside the software are just amazing as it allows us the same configuration and setting before deployment to the Production environment. Because of this regression testing of before the Prod upgrade becomes quite easy and bug leaks can easily be handled and be rolled back. And the simultaneous functionality of the software makes it quite amazing and ease the working of the deployment. In the end its very well designed and the requirements are quite greatly handled. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** The things where it lacks are - Simultaneous updates i.e. we can't update our applications simultaneous but we can deploy them which is one of the biggest drawback -It needs some in depth understanding before using it as you need to be software friendly not a tech freak or you'll end up googling everything. Manuals are to be read carefully -Poor Customer Services. The response is late and most of the times they give wrong answer or are not able to understand the questions. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps in simultaneous deployment of the projects we are working in and also provides an amazing test environment to get our QA team's testing done right. ### 7. Quick and simple deployment! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremiah F. | Franchise Support Help Desk Specialist, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I love that you're able to access this anywhere thanks to Google Cloud and deploy and go live in a matter of minutes. It's very user friendly and tech friendly too! There's a weird learning curve from other deployment managers, because it's so simplistic yet incredibly variable too! **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I don't like that some things are labeled to be more user friendly than tech friendly. it confuses my inner tech and I find myself referring to Google help forums for basic navigation needs. Otherwise, it's amazing. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** Just try it with their free trial, and you'll love the smoothness it offers! **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're able to now deploy whenever we need a testing environment and it allows us to do it with little man power involved. ### 8. Google Cloud Deployment Manager: Fast, Reliable, Professional & Affordable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pierrette S. | IT Specialist, Management Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Google Cloud Deployment Manager is great in terms of pricing as compared to other provider within the same industry. I love their free trial offer of $300 or 1 year to fully test all the features and get accustomed to the platform. They have a professional customer support. Last, but not least, it's so easy to deploy any type of Cloud instances in a just a few clicks. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I would really appreciate if phone support was available at all levels like other hosting companies. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** I recommend without hesitation. Google Cloud Deployment Manager is an amazing, fully comprehensive tools which will greatly give the edge to your business. Do try it! **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** A really fast cloud instance deployment. ### 9. Google Cloud Deployment Manager; Deploying A Cloud Instance Within Seconds **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jowahir M. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I absolutely love the user-friendly admin panel of the Google Cloud Deployment Manager. I could easily manage my VM instance from it. I appreciate the fact that it is template-driven. In simpler words, you can deploy any type of instance within clicks and seconds. No advanced IT experience is required. I also like the fact that a free trial of 1 year or $300 USD is offered. This is unique and amazing! **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Dedicated support is not included. Average response time is 24 hours, which can be too long for certain types of businesses. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** I recommend without hesitation. It's one of the best cloud products on the market at the moment. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Time saving thanks to a fast deployment. ### 10. Flexible Google Cloud Deployment Manager **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas H. | Instructional Technology Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I like the flexibility of the platform , I can create and deploy virtual machines in short time plus several resources can be deployed simultaneously. The templates are flexible and can be customized easily. First time users can sign up for a free $300 credit trial and can be upgraded at any time . **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** While I like several features and quick resources deployment I think the pricing is a little high and hope that google consider more affordable pricing specially for individuals and students . **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allow businesses to deploy and test several products and virtual environments ### 11. Excellent, easy-to-use product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I love the templates that are provided within the set-up. Having to 'redo' things quite often, the Google Cloud Deployment Management is simple to click on a template and then just check information and maybe update certain things. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** I had a bit of trouble dealing with dependency conflicts between different Java client libraries. Each wanted a different version of a set of common dependencies. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** It is easy to use and can help your organization succeed and be secure. That's what we primarily used it for, security. It worked for us! We are a small organization, less than 50 employees, and serve about 2,500 customers so it was perfect for us and what we needed. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We solved an issue with computer security within the organization. Before, we did not have adequate security and were at risk. However, with the Google Cloud Deployment Manager it was easier to create firewalls and other security protocol. Once these were created for the organization we were less concerned and could serve our customers without fear. ### 12. Product Review - Google Cloud Deployment Manager **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ajay G. | Frontend Developer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** There are few things which i like the most about Google Cloud Deployment Manager:- We can use Jinja2 Templates(Configuration as a Code or say Same as Ansible) which allows us to reuse the configuration for another deployments. By using these it's very easy for us to have a same configuration for other deployment.We are trying to automate these processes(creation of resources) using in our CI/CD Pipelines. This enabled us to adopt an infrastructure as a code approach for project provisioning. Using Infrastructure as a Code, We can easily test it on the Pre-prod(before Production) so that it's fully tested and make sure no human intervention needed. and easy to rollback as well. Another best thing is Parallel Deployments for me at least. That's 1 of the pain area we had in the past with other deployment managers. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Deployment Manager?** Parallel Deployments is a very good feature but parallel updates are still not there for a single application. It's like Acquiring a lock in the SQL for that deployment which will not run you 2 updates at a time for a single deployment. Another thing , I will not say it's a con but for me little pain point was to go through so many Google cloud deployment Policies. If you missed any policy, it will end up wasting your lot of time to debug that. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Deployment Manager:** It's a free product for trying a POC. So everybody should try this according to their needs and it will help you. Jinja2 templates and parallel deployments is one of the best features for me. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to use this as a Deployment Manager instead of IBM urbancode and we have tried a POC on this becuase of the performance issues of the IBM Urbancode and support of IBM. ### 13.

Response time for open items is not as quick as preferred. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have experienced faster deployment time which has been a large time saver. ### 14.

But the long wait time and heavy accents are very frustrating. **What problems is Google Cloud Deployment Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not so much business problems but keeps all of us organized and on the same page with each other which is a huge plus. ### 17.
