"Google Cloud Access Transparency: Clear Insights for Secure Data Trust"

4/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Access Transparency?

As a GCP Data Engineer, I love Google Cloud Access Transparency because it shows exactly who accesses our data and when. It logs every time Google support or engineers touch our GCP resources, like BigQuery or Dataflow, so I can track and verify actions. This keeps our data projects secure and builds trust, letting me focus on building pipelines without worrying about unauthorized access. It’s simple to check these logs in the GCP console, saving me time and hassle. Support is there 24/7, so I can get help anytime, even during late-night data crunching.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Access Transparency?

As a GCP Data Engineer, here’s what I don’t like about Google Cloud Access Transparency in very simple words:

Hard to Set Up - Turning it on and reading logs is confusing and takes time. Not Enough Info- Logs show who accessed data but don’t always explain what they did. Costs Money- It’s not free for all plans, which can be pricey for small projects.

These make my data work a bit harder and more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Access Transparency solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a GCP Data Engineer, Google Cloud Access Transparency solves key issues. It logs who accesses my data, so I trust my GCP projects (like BigQuery) are secure. Clear logs help me track changes and fix pipeline issues fast. It ensures compliance with data rules, avoiding problems. This saves time and lets me focus on building data solutions worry-free.
