The integration of AI powered by Gemini has made it even more secure. Integrates well with G-suits. > > **Cons**: The support is really not the best because basic support includes only documentation and maybe community resources. > > Google Cloud remains a powerhouse for security-conscious organizations, especially with the new AI powered integrations.. ----- ### "Google cloud review" — 5.0/5 > **Krystal** | *28 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My use of Google cloud is excellent because when working the network is great in protecting my work files.Against web attacks and denial of service.I love that i can do zoom meetings because video delivery with cloud cdn i can quickly and securely scale the web. > > **Cons**: not one thing Google cloud is great because customer support helps with stuff related to Goolge cloud.Google cloud is ease of use.And google cloud features are great with its explore hybrid connectivity options like vpn and peering enterprise support. Google threat intelligence is great because it tells when a threat is coming. > > Google cloud is a great value for my money.I love the use of google cloud.Costomiztion options i love the features are great to use. ----- ### "Google cloud awesomeness" — 5.0/5 > **Deon** | *20 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The cloud has been the best thing that has ever happen to me. I am able to not loose any important image or data since i start backing up to the cloud > > **Cons**: I only wish having more than one google account it would not back up the same information on all the different cloud > > I am satisfied with this service and i pay for this monthly just to benefit from this wonderful service ----- ### "Reliable Cloud Offering with Cost Caveats" — 4.0/5 > **Ozzie** | *21 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform as a whole really shines, but I really did enjoy Compute Engine 100% because of how simple it was to scale apps effortlessly. I also enjoy how easy Kubernetes Engine made deploying containers and scaling up existing deployments. There's so many knobs and buttons the customization options are limitless. I was really impressed the first time I set up a client in GPC that had stringent security requirements. I was able to adjust VPC networks and IAM settings to match the requirements without breaking into the documentation. Mobile access is available and handy for keeping an eye on resources from anywhere. > > **Cons**: The biggest downside (and this isn't a GPC issue so much as a cloud issue) is the various fees that seem to find their way onto an invoice without much explanation, I'm looking at you egress fees. The second dislike was how sometimes it was difficult to get support right away, sometimes at slow times you can wait a little while before an agent becomes available which can slowdown time to resolution. > > I've relied on GCP as a formidable tool in my tool bag for at least the last 5 years and often pitch it to clients just getting into cloud. It's been incredibly reliable and does well at maintaining parity with out cloud solutions...despite the occasional billing snafu\! ----- ### "Google cloud should be proud\!\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 February 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like that Google cloud really comes in the clutch when you are running out of memory and you primarily use Google for emails and storage poss files. > > **Cons**: I don’t truthfully think that I have anything negative to say about this software because it has never been a problem. ----- Page: 1 / 92\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/172144/google-cloud-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/172144/google-cloud-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
