The Future Of Cloud Hosting Solutions

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

The Google Cloud Console is not just the average hosting provider. I was very impressed to discover the VPC Network, where I could reserve an external IP address, bring in my own IP and customize the firewall settings. The Deployment Manager does great when it comes to deploying a cloud instance and best of all, the marketplace, which contains most of the powerful applications, like Plesk, which we loved immediately.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of my favorite aspect is the Compute Engine menu, which allows to view your VM instance, edit it's specifications and have access to your SSH keys. The ability to choose your zone and premium network tier makes Google Cloud a state-of-the-art solutions when it comes to cloud computing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Pricing: It is 2 to 3 times as expensive when compared to traditional hosting providers. Technical customer support require some specific paid plans.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For me, Google Cloud Platform is the cutting edge when it comes to deploying a powerful and secured cloud infrastructure. The uptime is great and the marketplace integrates with the most powerful tools. I recommend over all hosting providers for all of these reasons.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

GCP is an all-rounder

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Google Cloud Platform's dashboard is the most user-friendly and intuitive among various cloud providers and also GCP provides a lot of training support and resources

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of access and usage of GCP is definitely a plus point. Cloud Shell is a great feature that allows to easily access resources within the browser platform, in one place. The sheer amount of resources for training is large, backed by a great community support

What do you dislike most about this product?

Most of the features cost or need subscription, and there's only 3 months of free-trial. Lacks features compared to provider like AWS.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Consider your budget and features that you would require and check whether Google Cloud Platform provides service for the feature.

Pleasing control panel interface. Reliable

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

What differentiates Google Cloud Platform from other similar products for me is the Cloud Console command shell. I have not seen this feature available on any other cloud platform provider to date.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of Google Cloud Platform is the Cloud Console command shell. This gives me access to a small usable Linux instance which I can use for command line control of various Google Cloud services. This has two main benefits for me: I don't have to spin up a virtual machine simply for control, and I can access this shell on any computer so I always have access when out on the road.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Google Cloud Platform is the pricing. Like most cloud platform providers, it is expensive and open-ended, equivalent to writing a blank cheque able to bankrupt the company at any point.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Cloud Platform offer a 90-day free trial at time of writing including $300 credit. I would recommend to anyone considering Google Cloud Platform to take advantage of this and give it a whirl to see if it is a good architectural fit.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity

Cons

  • Leverages Incumbent Status
