Better than Azure Cloud

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Google Cloud stands out in the cloud computing landscape through its cutting-edge data analytics, AI, and machine learning capabilities, backed by Google’s deep expertise in these domains. Tools like BigQuery, Vertex AI, and TensorFlow make it a top choice for organisations looking to leverage advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions. Another major differentiator is Google’s global infrastructure, which is known for its performance, security, and sustainability. Google Cloud runs on the same infrastructure that powers Google Search and YouTube, offering low-latency and high-reliability performance.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its open-source and multi-cloud support is also industry-leading. With Anthos and Kubernetes (originally developed by Google), businesses can manage hybrid and multi-cloud environments with greater flexibility and efficiency. Google Cloud also champions sustainability, pledging to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030—an attractive value for environmentally conscious organisations.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One common dislike about Google Cloud is its complex pricing structure, which can be confusing and less predictable compared to competitors. Users also report a steeper learning curve, particularly for those not already familiar with Google’s ecosystem. Additionally, while powerful, support options can feel limited or slow, especially for smaller businesses without premium support plans. Some customers also note that certain services lack the maturity or breadth of features found in AWS or Azure, particularly in enterprise-level management tools. Finally, frequent UI changes in the console can disrupt workflows and create additional training

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you’re considering Google Cloud, here are key recommendations to make the most of the platform: Start with a clear use case: Define what you want to achieve—whether it’s hosting applications, managing big data, or implementing AI/ML—so you can choose the right services without unnecessary complexity. Take advantage of free tiers and credits: Google Cloud offers generous trial credits and always-free services—use these to experiment before committing fully. Invest in training early: Google Cloud has a steep learning curve. Enrol in official courses or certifications on Coursera or Google Cloud Skills Boost to ramp up quickly.
