User Testimonials
	Google Cloud Storage
Likelihood to Recommend	Google [Google Cloud Storage is] great for storing and playing large video files, and even sharing them securely with others, whether or not they are part of your organization. No need to download video files before watching, and can also be used to store any other kinds of files. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Google Perhaps the strongest advantage of Google Cloud Storage is that they seem to update files quicker than competing cloud storage providers. The software rarely runs into sharing violations or access issues. Google Cloud Storage has a unified API, which is nice when authorizing others to access data. The software rarely fails and handles large volumes of data well. Incentivized Thomas Young Owner, previous CEO Read full review
Cons	Google Currently can't delete folders which means there are cluttered folders on my cloud. Easier upload options would be nice. The ability to upload and store other file types with an easier interface. Managing files and storage could be improved a little for easier access and editing.

Likelihood to Renew	Google after all of the investment made in the tool and considering how many teams use it I think we would not be likely to move away from this tool.

Usability	Google Very easy to use. I love having my data backed up. I love that Google Cloud Storage provides me with the peace of mind that I no longer need to worry about my data being lost. I can now sleep better at night. Google Cloud Storage is very easy to use. Overall, you save time and have less stress by using Google Cloud Storage.

Performance	Google Excellent upload and download performance, excellent UI and a robust set of tools make GCS a must-have tool in our overall technical stack. Since we use so many data processes, GCS is a clutch player to help us orchestrate both input, intermediate storage, and output of all of these data processes. Because it's one tool for all of these processes, our applications get the benefit of having to need only one SDK to work against. Incentivized Anatoly Geyfman Founder & CEO Read full review
Support Rating	Google We have never used official support from Google for our Google Cloud Storage, but there is plenty of documentation in place already. With a small amount of work, anybody should be able to get started. Once needs get more complicated, there is still documentation from Google, but also plenty of community support for common use cases around the internet. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Google overall I was not directly involved but hears the teams were satisfied with the implementation. the teams that used the tool did not encounter major issues, it was as expected with minor issues and bugs that were resolved later. The more significant learning curve was actually starting to use the tool Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Google We prefer Google Cloud Storage over Amazon Web Services because of the tools and code integration offered by Google Cloud Storage.

Ultimately, we chose Google Cloud Storage because we found the API and suitability for code integration with our Java codebase to be impeccable and because we had excellent direct support from the Google Cloud Storage team Incentivized Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer Read full review
Return on Investment	Google It has assisted greatly with our ability to share documents/information cross functionally. Especially within our advertising team, we store a large amount of information to assist new hires and refresh current employees. Something that could improve is employees' understanding of how to best utilize Google Cloud Storage. This could improve by implementing a potential training video or tutorial. Overall, Google Storage has been great. I have not used a similar storage product that had the same enterprise level capabilities. Incentivized Mary Chandler Internal Recruiter Read full review
