Excellent support for hybrid cloud setups

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Anthos simplified our cloudlife transition. we have some on-premise hardware remaining, and google cloud also lets us manage it from a single pane of glass. the difference is google actually embraces the hybrid model as opposed to just trying to put everything in their datacenters it’s been the best bridge into modern cloud features for our legacy systems to start using.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The cloud identity features are great. it meshes nicely with our current workspace accounts, onboarding new employees is simply a matter of adding them to a group. the cloud deployment manager is also a very powerful tool to help us generate templates for our infrastructure. so that everything sounds like it was built to be automated and fits really nicely into our desire to have infrastructure as code.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of the more advanced networking features have a steep learning curve. you definitely need some time to adjust with their way of routing.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google cloud is the best hybrid solutions ever for any large enterprise with a mix of old and new tech. it’s powerful and very flexible.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Fair
  • Client's Interest First
