"Amazing functionality that provides ease of use"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

Having used all the major cloud providers, I can surely say that Google VPC is the best one out there. Unlike others, GCP provides a global VPC that helps deploy subnets in multiple regions. This makes the infrastructure setup hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

The UI for creating a VPC in GCP can be more detailed and instructive which can help beginners use the console in a better way. However, for experienced folks, the UI is up to the mark Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Review on Google Virtual Private Cloud"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

What I like about Google Virtual Private Cloud is that with VPC, we can create private and secure virtual networks to host our applications and services. This level of isolation ensures that our resources are shielded from external threats and unauthorized access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

One area of improvement could be the learning curve associated with setting up and configuring Google VPC. For newcomers to the platform, understanding the various concepts, such as subnets, routes, and firewall rules, may initially be daunting. Improved documentation, tutorials, and examples that cater to different levels of expertise would greatly assist users in quickly grasping and implementing VPC configurations.

"Great global network"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

One great thing about GCP VPC is a global network - no need to hunt your resources around different regions like you still need to do in AWS. Global IPs are simple to understand and work great.

Otherwise it's a modern VPC offering supporting all of the latest and greatest featuers like network tagging, firewall rules, shared VPC, VPC peering, Bring your own IP, packet mirroring and flow logs, and serverless connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

Back in the days it was super-simple to use but features were basic. Now it's feature-rich but of course learning curve is harder.

Another catch is that VPC network peering is not transitive, i.e. if network A is peered with network B and network B is peered with network C, then A can NOT communicate with. People usually trip over this limitation when they have a VM in network A that tries to talk to CloudSQL instance in network B and it doesn't work (since CloudSQL is provisioned in GCP-owned project which is then peered to network B).

You can deploy an internal load balancer as a workaround.

It's the same limitation with AWS VPC btw.

Finally, global network is great but is more sensitive to infrastructure failures on GCP side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile usage of network"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

Cloud VPC is a virtual and ulimited network. You can achieve all tweak that you required: packet lenght, IPv6 support, routing, firewall,... The most famous feature is the global network. All the Google Cloud region are reachable in the same VPC, without any peering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

The first jump into Cloud VPC is disturbing. It's powerful, easy, and different of how you manage your network previously. It requires a little training to understand and leverage the power of that service/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
