Gone are the days of manual storage. Pros Linking multiple devices and data together and making them all accessible. Security that goes with that. Cons The platform works well and I don’t have many things to complain about. I’m just required to write something here. Review Source CG Corentin G.

Team Lead Medical Devices Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A perfect solution to create Virtual Machines (VRs)" October 30, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Google Cloud is really positive. I would recommend it if you need to create a virtual machine on the cloud. Pros Google Cloud enabled me to create virtual machines for running diabetes control and monitoring systems using the Nightscout solution. The dashboard is incredibly intuitive and provides all the necessary information on resources, compute engine, APIs, and Google Platform status. The documentation is excellent. I would highly recommend Google Cloud for virtual machine solutions. Cons Even though I'm a simple user with no real IT background, I was able to create a virtual machine for diabetes monitoring purposes. The guidance was very helpful. Switched from [Microsoft Azure](https://www.capterra.com/p/16365/Azure/) The maintenance process was much easier with Google Cloud Review Source JG Josh G. Director of Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast, reliable and cheap cloud storage solution" December 9, 2024 5.0 Amazing, as a small not for profit, this reasonably priced service saved us from having to piggy back on another company's server to share files between our employees (and we couldn't access those files outside of the office either). Pros Easily manage all my files remotely with no downtime and no fear of losing files. The streaming function saves a lot of my hard drive space too, and works seamlessly. Cons File ownership should be easier to transfer between users. Currently the new owner has to download and reupload the file to become the owner of it. Alternatives considered [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Reason for choosing Google Cloud More familiar with Google, and ties into our other Google services (email, etc.) Review Source Ashley A.

Pros I love that I can upload everything on my phone to Google Cloud and never have to worry about losing my precious pictures of my son! Cons I didn't find anything I don't care about on Google Cloud. Review Source JEH Jose Enrique H. Cloud Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Cloud offering portfolio and services" October 7, 2024 5.0 Based on my experience with Google Cloud, I have had the opportunity to see how it has evolved over the last 7 years. Without a doubt I can say that Google Cloud offers a complete portfolio for computing, networking, data, data streaming, data ingestion, container-based applications, following all cloud models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS). I believe that Google Cloud's main strength today lies in its offering of data management, AI, BigData, Business Intelligence and Infrastructure for database services. Pros Google is one of the top 5 cloud providers. In terms of network it has the largest stretch of undersea cables in the world, meaning its cloud services can be offered literately everywhere. The main strength in term of cloud services is the data portfolio, which makes companies of all sizes (startup, small, mid and large) transition into a data-driven model easily and following known best practices. Cons The main disadvantage of Google Cloud is the native tools and services for DevOps capabilities, which do not really offer a mature environment for developing continuous integration and continuous delivery strategies. However, Google Cloud integrates with open source tools, such as Terraform, Github Actions, among many other community tools and services. In fact, almost all existing DevOps-oriented tools and services are compatible with Google Cloud. Review Source JG Jessica G. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy organization and access" December 20, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Google Cloud has been positive because it makes storing and accessing photos and documents easy and reliable, even though the storage limits and pricing can be a bit confusing. Pros What I like most about Google Cloud is how easily it lets me store, organize, and access my photos and documents securely from anywhere. Cons What I like least about Google Cloud is that managing storage limits and understanding pricing can sometimes feel confusing.

It is much easier to control with security than onprem for outside vendors, and much higher availability and load balancing capabilities. Pros Kubernetes on GCP is very efficient and the most manageable on our container workloads compared to other cloud providers. Cons You have to work well with command line, whereas AWS and Azure are more UI friendly when administering on cloud platforms. Review Source JS Jesse S. CEO Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Cloud Storage" June 19, 2025 4.0 Overall it is better than other cloud services and there are many features such as email, slides, photos which make it a integrative service to use. Pros It is very easy to store data and it is safe to use and not difficult to use. It is user-friendly and convenient to use. Cons There should be better yearly package deals to make the cost of google cloud cheaper and more affordable. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelancer Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Google cloud review" November 15, 2024 2.0 Pros What I liked most about Google cloud is the automatic backing up of all my photos and files. It's especially convenient when I forget to do it myself. And clears up tons of space on my device that would otherwise be full. Cons What I like least about it is that I have to pay for it. I feel like cloud storage is something that should be free for everyone given how much money Google already makes off us all. Review Source JC Jimena C.

Pros Everything backs up great and is very easy to use and add to computer Cons To be honest, I haven't found a con in using this product Switched from [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) ease of use and cost was in the range where it was more affordable.

Pros Google Cloud is super reliable and easy to scale, which is great for handling big projects. I love how smoothly it works with other Google services, and the security features make me feel good about storing important stuff there. Cons Sometimes the pricing can be a bit confusing, especially if you're not keeping a close eye on usage.

US IT LEAD Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GCP - Google Cloud Platform - secure Cloud Storage for Cloud Computing Infrastructures" March 7, 2025 4.0 The pricing issues alone are frustrating. Slow and laborious manual labeling: Labeling resources by business unit can be a slow process. There are some security concerns that we needed to addesss: when links are obtained, they can be accessed freely, which can expose public data. Pros The ease of integration with my other 3rd party tools Cons Google Cloud Platform has a complex pricing structure.Slow and laborious manual labeling: Labeling resources by business unit can be a slow process Review Source AA Amanda A.

I recommend it to friends and colleagues. As many companies now use Google Cloud, it is much easier for me as a freelancer to access and share documents smoothly. Pros Google Cloud is user-friendly, reliable, and highly scalable. It offers a seamless experience, especially for businesses needing a flexible cloud environment. I love its intuitive interface and robust tools. Most of my clients use it too. Cons Although I use free versions, or those included with my Gmail accounts, or provided by my clients, I imagine Google Cloud can be pricey, especially for smaller businesses. Accessing specific drives can be tricky, with challenges in navigating folders and locating shared files. Managing permission rights can also be confusing, making it hard to control who can view or edit certain documents. Review Source MLS Mareedu Lokesh S.

Review Source MC Mark C. Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Google Cloud functions challenges" October 7, 2025 4.0 I worked on adding a Google Cloud Function which I found quite difficult to setup, there are a lot of options you need to consider before you can actually add your function and annoyingly the user interface isn't consistent when editing functions and setting up one so trying to compare isn't very straightforward. Pros Google Cloud provides an abundance of features and there always seems to be an option for whatever you need. The user interface is easy to use and navigate as with most google products. Cons The pricing model Google uses can easily catch you out if you haven't done your homework beforehand to understand what your usage will be so before jumping in it's worth trying to understand before you get in too deep.
