Likelihood to Recommend [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.

Wasabi is just simple and easy to use. It incorprates well with Veeam and other backup solutions. The cost savings alone is enough to make anyone switch. Plus thier reliability has been on great. We havent experienced any down time or issues since converting out cloud backup solution to Wasabi.

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. Read full review Wasabi, Technologies, Inc
AWS S3 compatible APIs. Supports custom policies and sub-accounts. Much cheaper when compared to AWS S3. Read full review Cons 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.

Performance 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.

Support Rating 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.

Implementation Rating 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.

Alternatives Considered We prefer Google Cloud Storage over
Amazon Web Services because of the tools and code integration offered by Google Cloud Storage. We found the Google Cloud Storage toolset to be highly usable and give us the fine-grained control we need for managing digital assets. 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

Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than
Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Wasabi, Technologies, Inc
