An intuitively effective tool w/ potential, but hardly used on a regular basis. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** LUKE G. | Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Search?** Google Cloud Search is a simple to use enterprise/domain level comprehensive searching that can save a lot of time for all users when a specific item, file, or record is needed. I like the ease of use, integration with all apps/services within GSuite. It can be very useful for Drive by creating a tool to recovering or reviewing shared content, thus the overall benefit is that Google Cloud Search makes it so to share and collaborate files. This service is essentially a Search engine for our entire organization and domain(s). **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Search?** Google Cloud Search seems to be founded on the core idea of saving time; however, the process of filtering, using keywords, and browsing the endless amount of search results actually has not saved me much time overall. The results sometimes are not refined as much as I would I like. Overall, I have seen improvements and will continue to explore the product, which I do believe is a great product that will continue getting better over time. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Search:** Highly recommend! Might feel overwhelming at first but keep spending time within the product **What problems is Google Cloud Search solving and how is that benefiting you?** Google Cloud Search allows for comprehensive searches across all of GSuite that actually has data recovery aspects to it, as I have often been able to locate records that otherwise might be presumed to be lost entirely. I strongly recommend any GSuite user or admin to use Google Cloud Search and to keep trying it out and learn which ways the service can be tailored to fit your specific business. ### 2. Google Cloud Search Review **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Cloud Search?** The ability to search across all GSuite platforms. Even as a small organization, we find it very helpful to be able to search not just through google drive files, but emails as well. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Search?** Having to pay for such a service. I would imagine this could be very helpful to larger organizations. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Search:** If cost is not an issue, certainly a tool worth using. The larger the organization, the better! **What problems is Google Cloud Search solving and how is that benefiting you?** With a portfolio of clients in multiple industries, it's been helpful to find pertinent information efficiently ### 3.
