Researcher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/16/2018 "Was difficult to install, ended up switching." 1.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud SDK? I like the idea of using a Google Cloud service, since Google is a brand I typically trust. However, this product was difficult to use and ultimately fell short of our needs. We'd love to try again if more support and help documentation was provided to allow us to get started more smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud SDK? The product is very difficult to get started with. The installation tips are pretty standard, but the troubleshooting details are simply not there. If someone on Stack Overflow hasn't solved your problem, you're pretty much stuck. Unfortunately, we were unable to fully try the product as we were unable to get it up and running completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud SDK: Be prepared for a serious time commitment in trying to get the system started. We ran into issues within the first few steps of trying to install, and were unable to get around them without jeopardizing our current work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud SDK solving and how is that benefiting you? We were unable to get this product up and running. Ultimately, while I'm sure it's great when it works, we were unable to realize any benefit because the installation flopped on our system. Ideally, we would've used the SDK to generate software packages for the post processing of our data, which would have streamlined the process of conducting our business greatly.

"Poorly documented SDK" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud SDK? It's really difficult to say anything good here. The documentation for the Google Cloud SDK's is almost non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud SDK? There is not an all encompassing client (like boto3 for AWS python). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
