Security and Idea Development
I have used Google Cloud for both personal and professional purposes, and it has been a great help in my work area and my learning journey in the world of advanced technology.
Pros
I like using Google Cloud because it offers high security and easily integrates with other tools. Additionally, it provides a variety of services that allow for everything from data storage to analysis, as well as creating applications using its tools.
Cons
What I don’t like about this tool is that it can be somewhat expensive, but even so, it is possible to maximize its potential with the numerous options it provides.

The Clouds I like.
Great experience with the Google Cloud. It is awesome for business, school, or even personal like as it brings fantastic organization and order to the chaos of the world. I use it for all facets of my life, and you can too!
Pros
It's robust and does everything you need to. I like how it can sync with offline files on your desktop so you can access it easily. On the go, I can still access it through the web which creates options and convenience
Cons
There is certainly a learning curve with such a robust software. It can take years to fully learn all the intricacies so it is important to stick with it and not give up to soon!

A perfect solution to create Virtual Machines (VRs)
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.

Fast, reliable and cheap cloud storage solution
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.

Easy access, agnostic approach
Easy to setup and start right away! Love the ability to set it up quickly on any computer with browser access. It does get confusing when you have multiple Google logins, as it can get mixed up on which drive you need to access.
Pros
Easy access and setup. Very agnostic approach to online access.
Cons
It can be confusing switching between the default Google accounts.

Behind Azure and AWS
I have used it for our UI that is exposed to outside vendors. 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.

Cons
The user interface could be a steep learning curve initially for beginners. Since it evolves rapidly , makes it difficult to keep up with new features.

Spend Some Time Getting Lost in the Google Clouds
Google Cloud is a breeze to navigate, and even the most easily overwhelmed tech user can figure this out. Need help, just Google it! Hahaha. I’ve had no issues troubleshooting by myself even with complex projects with pressing deadlines.
Pros
I most like that Google Cloud is integrated into the Google Suite. As a frequent Google user, there isn’t a more seemless choice for online storage.
Cons
I find it a little bit clunky and slow. As an Apple aficionado by choice, I prefer iCloud on devices. Sometimes using Google products, the integration may be a little slow for certain functions.
Overall, however, they are pretty fast. I haven’t had very many issues!

Google Cloud offering portfolio and services
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.

Best in class cloud products
We consistently use GCP for data management and reporting infrastructure. Support is always a quick call/email away and often if the rep doesn't have the answer, they have the resources available to them to get the answer (no matter how technical).
Pros
GCP has a massive set of products we use on the regular from ML-based, virtual PCs and SQL; they typically have a free-tier you can use to develop on to see if larger deployments will be worth it.
Cons
There's a lot of products/APIs you can leverage and sometimes knowing which one(s) is/are best can be a whole thing in of itself.

A Solid Cloud Service Choice
I love using Google Cloud and rely on it frequently. 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.

cloud solution made simple and secure
Pros
I like the free credits given by gcloud to new users to play around different services in google cloud to familiarize different compute, storage, and security services. I mainly use Google cloud to spin up a instance of any flavor(OS) that I want for my pentesting or red team engagements.
Cons
The dashboard looks quite complex, sometimes overwhelming for me to find a specific thing I want.

It provides an extensive range of services that address every aspect of cloud computing, from computation and storage to databases, networking, and analytics. The worldwide network infrastructure of Google Cloud guarantees high-performance, low-latency communication across many areas.
Cons
The quality of regular assistance may not be sufficient for all firms, especially those who need quick response times, and premium support solutions can be costly.

Google Cloud - A top choice for Kubernetes
Overall I had a great experience with Google Cloud, it supports all of the main features you'd expect from a cloud provider. I never had any issues regarding reliability or customer support when using their services.
Pros
Google Clouds Kubernetes offerings are excellent. Since Kubernetes is the heart of many software applications these days I think this makes Google Cloud stand out among competitors.
Cons
I found managing IAM on Google Cloud to be less intuitive than their competitors.
