11:11 Public Cloud vs. Google Cloud Platform

When shared with multiple teams, I could not find many products better than this. I enjoyed working in this aspect, it was smooth in cross-teams transferring. They have a good foundation of technology I would say, the thing it is lacking is in the usability for non-technical people. I have seen many struggling with this aspect.

When most of our stuff is in Google Cloud Platform, it works great to integrate and cross/share data that is all in Google Cloud Platform or BigQuery. It has simplified things from a permissions perspective as well. I'd say it is less appropriate when trying to test something quickly locally, or when half your stuff is in AWS or another provider.

• I needed support for many modules, where I think I was not satisfied.
• The detailing of each module is lacking.
• If you form clutter of files, there is no solution for it.

• The UI is so confusing. The console is good, but it is like a maze. There are too many menus and settings, and things do not work as expected. It takes time to get friendly, and it is not friendly for new users.
• Support experience: Sometimes, you get a great engineer, but other times, it's very difficult to talk with them as they are unable to respond as expected and solve issues late.
• Region and zone are issues, as not all services are available in all regions, which is lacking when deploying something in the same region or zone.

The Google Cloud Platform console is pretty slick for BigQuery especially. I have liked the visibility I get from using that and the way to integrate and see what's in our data lake. The logging console for tracking GKE jobs isn't quite as great, which is why it doesn't get a full 10.

Support is completely inflexible in their policies and procedures, turning even the simplest request into a months-long ordeal.

I would select Sungard on the basis of technology foundation and functionality. It gave me an ample amount of features which I could use in a better way. The inter-team communication gets a better structure than the other products. I would use it on the basis of the above mentioned points. This has proven to be a good support for my team.

Google Cloud Platform is release later than Amazon web service, I think that why Google Cloud Platform can learned and optimized the Dashboard and some features that make it easy to use and can be cheaper than amazon web service.

• Positive - Inter-department report flow was quick.
• Positive - Defined process gave us a defined to finish our goals.
• Negative - Detailing on each module is less.

• It allows us to focus our efforts on other, more important items at hand
• It gives us an affordable option letting me know it's available to all users, not just the largest scale ones out there
• The customer service is always helpful and reliable, along with the service itself which lets me focus on my work instead of worrying about the service.
