Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's easy to use.""The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are the ease of use and I can share files with my colleagues.""There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use.""Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements.""The most valuable feature is the cryptographic technology.""Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use.""What I like most about Google Cloud Storage is that it's very stable, very quick, and very useful.""The solution is already stable and I have not encountered problems in this regard."

"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running.""Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better.""In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."

Cons
"Google Cloud Storage could be improved if they provided more free storage for free accounts.""An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible.""The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.""It is stable, but it can always be more stable.""They need to get some parts of the program more mature, like the admin management part as well as the monitoring part.""The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay.""There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing.""The user interface could be more intuitive."

More Google Cloud Storage Cons →

"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints.""The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface.""It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
