Likelihood to Recommend	Google Google Cloud Persistent Disk is an ideal storage solution for businesses regardless of the industry. Also, whether your business is big or small, this software is scalable and this means there is a version for every business. The software is secure, fast, and affordable. It also offers data backup features.

Cons	Google Nothing as of now Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UpCloud The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified A control panel function would be useful The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

Alternatives Considered	Google I have not used such a powerful and flexible storage device as this platform. My experience with this platform has enlightened our team members on better data storage practices. It has secured our documents within and given our teams better file storage options. Excellent data backup and restore services have boosted our company growth since we can focus on other tasks knowing that our data is safe. Incentivized Jeniffer Brown Business Strategist Read full review	UpCloud We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Google Helped our return to operation with faster restores. Helped the business scale and increase our data storage capacity with [ease]. Helped us alleviate the need to store in our local infrastructure, saving on admin costs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UpCloud The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
