    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.

    For growing technology-based companies, Zendesk Sunshine is the best ally to provide email and chat support. It supports various integrations and can provide exceptional service that is fully customizable for both the customer and the agents using Zendesk. It is not appropriate for small companies, and for companies with a very small customer base, it is a considerable expense after a customer base of at least 10,000 customers.

    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.

    • There are some glitches when doing upgrades on information or data, sometimes
    • It is difficult to find tickets once they are solved, we could have a tracking of the most recent or solved tickets during the day.
    • The integration or merge with other tickets from the same client is not intuitive at all, there should be an alert that throws a match.

    Usability
    Google
    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.

    Because it is a tool that we use on a daily basis and has provided confidence for the massive use that is given to it, it has also been the expected product, allowing customization and optimizing processes, saving us a lot of money and time. Definitely, the ability to track customers and the way to automate all customer support processes becomes totally easy and intuitive.

    Due to the implementation and the few issues that ha In summary, there are few times that we have had to use this functionality, but the help that Zendesk has provided has been of another level, complying with our standards and SLAs so as not to interfere in the operation or processes.ve arisen, it is a platform that provides a fast, intuitive and tailor-made service for each user.

    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.
