I had to use Google Cloud IoT platform for building a smart home project to interact with entities, mostly Google's Nest thermometer. The third-party software was called Home Assistant, where you can connect IoT devices and automate making a smart home a lot smoother. There is a lot of integration that happens doing it this way but the functionality is very pleasing.
  • Access to several services.
  • Very thorough services.
  • Wide range of functionality.
  • Not beginner friendly.
  • Needs more tutorials and walk throughs on how to get started.
  • Very complicated and unless you know what you are doing you will be lost.
  • Lack of material found on how to do each section / services.
I consider myself very techy and found Google Cloud IoT platform very challenging to manage. The lack of tutorials and discussions to understand how each section works is very challenging. I specifically made a connection after several hours to Google Nest to third-party integration, Home Assistant. Shortly after Google Cloud upgraded to a new version breaking the connection. This was extremely frustrating. No service should take several hours to figure out, in my opinion, if it does, the platform is doing a poor job of making it easy. I'm personally very discouraged any time I ever have to use this platform. It's very hard to find answers.
  • Needs to be User friendly.
  • Tutorials need to be easy accessible.
  • A working example needs to be included with each service.

  • The amount of hours to get things integrated is negative.
  • The amount of hours researching how to get devices integrated is negative.
  • Overall the amount of time and effort getting things working has been a negative experience.

The last years of work have been dedicated to the design of electronic equipment related to the IoT, I have analyzed and experimented with different platforms, Google Cloud IoT being one of the ones that have best impressed me. Although later I have chosen to design a personalized platform that uses parts from different providers including Google, to date I consider that I will use it again in new projects.
  • Integration with different brands of microcontrollers including the one currently used by Espresiff.
  • The platform is very robust and secure.
  • It would be convenient to be able to calculate operating costs simply and in advance.
  • At the moment the interface offers too many options that could be a problem for an inexperienced user.
If your IoT project is in the prototype or experimental phase, there are options that are simpler to implement than Google Cloud IoT, perhaps using your own servers and not hosted on Google's cloud. However, if you are developing a solution that has the projection of becoming a product without a doubt, you should use a cloud platform like Google Cloud IoT for many reasons such as scalability, security and service availability among others.
  • Scalability, no matter how many subscribers Google Cloud IoT has, it adapts its processing automatically.
  • Informatic security.
  • The best current technology.

  • The use of Google Cloud IoT services is essentially charged according to the data transmission carried out, it is important to consider the volume of data to be used previously.
  • Despite the expense that cloud services may have, it is also true that a lot of personnel is saved, who should be available at all hours to ensure that the servers are active.
Although comparisons are hateful, even more so when we are talking about leading brands where the quality of their services are indisputable, the general environment of Google was more familiar to me since I use, for example, Google Firebase on a daily basis, where part of the concepts are similar, without Without a doubt, AWS services are excellent, but it was easier for me to go through the functions of Google Cloud IoT.
