Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Resource Manager:
This product has no flaws, but it can't be easily recommended either because it is HIGHLY specific in its nature- I would imagine that many work environments would have no need for something like this. Another thing that Google as a whole should work on, both with Suite and here, is the ability to download more untraditional types of files. The biotechnology sector is exploding- biology is consistently one of the top majors for undergraduates- there are files that are still not possible to store with Google- .pdb files are common files for programs that show protein structure on a chemical level- Sigma Plot is a program much like Excel whose files wouldn't be recognized.

What problems is Google Cloud Resource Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?
Administrators can easily see all projects being worked on simultaneously- I can imagine that this is useful in an office setting, where there is no way that all departments are working on projects simultaneously, making visualizing what others in the company are doing very useful, especially considering all the miscommunication that goes on as the number of people employed increases. However, I'd also like to highlight a strength it has in the laboratory setting- as someone who works in a research laboratory, no matter how small the number of people employed is, lab technicians tend to work on experiments separately. A lab manager would greatly benefit from being able to access everyone's data at once without having to individually schedule meetings with people, and more importantly, lab technicians themselves may have access to the lab manager, but I don't know how often it is that they have access to each other. Seeing what experiments others have worked on could allow you to a) see their data and b) organize projects/plan ahead such that you're only making reagents that you know will be needed in the immediate future based on what projects are upcoming.
