    Use for most types of cloud SQL services. Excellent modern-day encryption technologies. If a customer wants to manage their keys then Google Cloud Platform is well suited for those people if it matters. Able to divide workloads and pipelines. Customer managed encryption keys support for Data fusion, Data Proc, Cloud SQL, and GKE. We use Cloud EKM: key use operations $0.03 per 10,000 operations for our day to day operations.

    Keycafe is a great tracker and place to store keys to vehicles or shared items such as a company gas card.

    The Keycafe system is exactly the product we required, it has replaced the previous system used for Key collection and Drop offs, and Key Management. We have not seen another product, which will suit the requirements we need. Also replacing the Keycafe would be expensive and would require a lot of work

    From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with [...] was thorough and informative—he took the time to understand our specific needs and ensure that the product would suit us perfectly. Once we received the device, [...] went above and beyond to help us set it up and make sure we were using the software as effectively as possible, tailoring his guidance to our business needs. The team has consistently exceeded our expectations, and it’s comforting to know that they’re always available should we need further assistance.

    Alternatives Considered
    Google
    The UI / UX, first of all, is night and day difference. The main attraction after the services were this: It's user friendly. It welcomes new users and properly guides them on what to do and what you can expect. Honestly, I had a very bad experience with Microsoft Azure in 2018, so I think the Google Cloud Key Management service is best for me for now and I may give the new Azure a try later.
