Can google do any wrong? Whichever market they enter, they dominate. This is no exception. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Liam W. | Financial Controllership Intern, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Scale?** The idea of browse based Virtual Machines is in itself a fantastic thing. Not only is google scale a very innovative platform, it is incredibly good even though it is operating in somewhat of a niche corner of the internet. Setting up the virtual machines was a breeze, and very intuitive. Thanks to this, having them go live and be commercially available was as easy as 1 2 3. Switching between projects is also very convenient (and easily overlooked, after trying some alternatives in which going project to project was a bit of a hassle, the simple and obvious toggle is very much appreciated). £300 free credit to try the platform is also very welcome. **What do you dislike about Google Scale?** I'm not a fan of the (somewhat sly seeming) billing system. What each function and thing is going to cost is not too clear from the get go, and with the billings page being separate it makes accurately and precisely forecasting costs kind of hard. The £300 free credit gives you a good indication of what will cost what, but it is by no means obvious. **Recommendations to others considering Google Scale:** Understand the billing structure before settling on this as your ultimate solution. It's not overpriced, it's just hard to understand where each cost is coming from sometimes. **What problems is Google Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having my projects in the cloud for secure remote and mobile access is something I didn't know I needed until I had it; and now we couldn't live without it. ### 2. Create Powerful Virtual Machines via Google Scale **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Scale?** The entire idea of using a browser for creating instances of virtual machines and configuring them is just amazing. The user can use Google's GUI to edit and add configurations to the VM instance, and deploy them straight to the cloud for commercial use. **What do you dislike about Google Scale?** Nothing to be honest. It takes a little time to start up the instance every single time Google Cloud Platform page is loaded or the VM instance is restarted, but that is obvious due to the fact that the VMs are super heavy processes to run on a browser. **Recommendations to others considering Google Scale:** Google Scale is just one simple and amazing feature of the entire, vast Google Cloud Platform. I definitely recommend using this cloud over any other present in the market for its simplicity, features and speed. **What problems is Google Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using Google Scale on Google Cloud Platform to deploy certain machines holding servers for our web app. ### 3.

Scale Makes it Happen **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adam J. | Principal, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Scale?** The thing I like the most about Scale is its ability to predict. I know there are algorithms that they have gathered from recent searches but I like how quick they are to anticipate what I will need. **What do you dislike about Google Scale?** The thing that I do not like is the fact that there are so many advertisements once the search is compelted. **What problems is Google Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Scale for everyday solutions, and we hope to solve some productivity issues we have been experiencing. ### 6. review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Scale?** Simple and yet very integrative system, very easy to use.

Scale computings collaboration with Google allows easy access to Google's infrastructure **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Google Scale?** The best part about Google Scale is the ability to use google's infrastructure without the need of physical tools and / or hardware. Additionally, Google has truly streamlined all of the processes, making the initial setup of Google Scale to be seamless and without frustration. **What do you dislike about Google Scale?** Google Scale is still new, growing, and developing. Scale does lack some basic features that other similar software companies offer, but at lower prices. **Recommendations to others considering Google Scale:** If considering Google scale, definitely research competitors because there are a few other companies that offer similar at competitive prices while offering more elaborate features. **What problems is Google Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cloud Unity creation by creating SD-WAN connections, linked to my companies existing scale environments.
