Google Cloud Persistent Disk Reviews & Product Details

I love it's ability to provide durable, high-performance storage for virtual machines (VMs) running on the Google Cloud Platform. The disk can be easily attached and detached from VMs, making it simple to scale storage as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited data durability options compared to other cloud storage solutions can be a minus. Additionally, there have been occasional issues with the disk's performance when handling large amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High-performance block storage for any workload.

Durability and availability that keep your business running.

Automatic security and encryption.

And of course, it is better than competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find anything that is not working well. And not anything that I dislike about Google Cloud Persistent Disk. I'll be always a supporter of Google products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team is using multiple Virtual Machines to run servers, test environments etc. Often we make use of Google's Persistent Disks to keep the state and data of the machines. It does what it says. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is not the most attractive, but not many alternatives are there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to maintain and integrate without application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need more stat/reports that way we can understand whats going Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quite easy to connect one or more drives to a VM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't have any particular complaints at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud Persistent Disk is attached to Google compute instances easily and provides very good performance as on-prem physical server disks. It is also easy to backup and deletes as needed.

It has different performance levels and can be selected based on the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should have more ways to connect and export data. Encryption can be better, and attaching the same disk to multiple instances without file store should be allowed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a durable and regular cloud storage platform. It provides a great set of features which one would like the most, being -

1) Smooth Restore and Backup facility - It provides very good and reliable storage for backup. Moreover, the restore facility provided helps anyone to be assured that their data is stored at a reliable place.

2) Self-Dependent Volumes - Each virtual machine instance is hosts independent disks and hence, it provides easy management of data.

3) Data Security with Encryption - The automatic encryption provided by google cloud persistent disk helps in securing data. You can even manually set the keys, as well as automatic encryption will provide a set of keys for enhancing the security layer.

4) Reliability and Durability - It provides redundant data storage which makes the data more durable.

5) Cloning - Disk cloning is something that comes out to be a very handy tool. It creates new disks for backup verification and data export jobs.

6) Creation of Snapshots - Snapshots come out to be very easy in the case of regional and zonal persistence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't specifically dislike anything about the google cloud storage persistent app. The tutorials come out to be very handy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The persistent storage provides a set of features that helps in fulfilling all your needs.

1. Independent volumes are provided through independent disks. You can easily manage your disks and hence manage all of them as you need.

2. Durability: The storage provided is very durable because of the redundant storage facility.

3. Data security: Data is very secure because of the encryption layer. The plain data is encrypted using a set of keys that can be provided manually or automatically generated.

4. Backup facility provided using snapshots and geo-replication. This helps in restoring data in case of unexpected data loss or failure of servers holding data. Moreover, the speed of backup is quite fast. Hence, you can backup your data whenever possible in a few seconds or minutes.

5. Images for configuration: You can use a machine image to take care of all the metadata and configuration. This also helps in handling permissions and data from one or more VM instances.

6. Performance: Google cloud persistent storage provides a great performance like SSD and HDD.

7. Resizable disks: The disks can be resized as per the requirements. This provides flexibility in the management of data. Moreover, this also gets very useful when you require scaling your storage in case of higher demands and needs. Thus, you don't need to go and buy a new disk as it used to be in the old times. You just can resize your disks in minutes without any extra efforts and this heps in taking care of your business logic as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing specific about Google cloud persistent disk that I dislike. The performance can be still better and it is getting better no doubt. So I am happy using this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really is as simple as one could expect, and haven't had a single issue with reliability. I like the deep integration into various Google Cloud Platform products, such as Kubernetes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish regional disks could be attributed to more zones, or that there was a quicker way to validate files on disk rather than attaching it to an instance and SSHing into it. I also wish there was the capability to set usage alerts, e.g. when at 85%, send an alert prior to scaling storage up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily deployable, high scalability and superb integration with other Google products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as fast as local SSD. I honestly doesn't have any negative issues with Google's persistent disks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
