    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.

    Cons
    Google
    • 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.

    Usability

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • 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.
