Robust cloud platform with great flexibility

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Google Cloud stands out for its strong data analytics and AI/ML capabilities. Tools like BigQuery and Vertex AI are powerful and easy to use, even for large-scale projects. The platform also offers smooth integration with other Google services, which makes it really convenient. Its clean interface and strong performance for compute-heavy tasks make it a solid choice compared to other providers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect is how powerful and fast BigQuery is for handling large datasets. Running complex queries takes just seconds, which really boosts productivity. I also appreciate how well the entire platform integrates with other Google tools like Drive, Sheets, and Workspace, making it easy to move data and collaborate without needing extra steps. The overall reliability, scalability, and performance make it a great choice for both small and enterprise-level projects. It feels like everything is built to grow with you, which is a big plus.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most is the pricing structure—it can be a bit confusing, especially for those new to cloud platforms. Without proper monitoring, costs can add up quickly, particularly with services like BigQuery or data storage. The learning curve is also steep for beginners, and some documentation feels too technical or scattered. A more intuitive cost management system and simplified onboarding experience would make it much more user-friendly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering Google Cloud, take time to understand the pricing model and set up budgets or alerts to avoid unexpected costs. Start with the free tier and gradually explore services like BigQuery and Cloud Functions—they’re powerful once you get the hang of them. Also, make use of the documentation and training resources available, because there’s a bit of a learning curve. It’s a solid platform, especially if you’re already using other Google services, so integration will feel smooth.
