“Reliable & Engineering-First Product”
Our organization has gone all-in on the Google ecosystem, from Workspace to GCP for heavy lifting in data and infrastructure. Google is reliable, innovative and offers fair prices for small entities when it comes to its product. My overall experience is quite positive, particularly regarding the speed of innovation and managed services. Gemini and Vertex AI are closing the gap and starting to lead in Agentic AI ops with google.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Google Cloud Platform
VP, IT Infrastructure
I am curious if anyone has recommendations for an objective third party to provide an external evaluation of GCP environments from a Fin Ops/Cost Optimization perspective. Many suppliers in the space selling reporting toolsets or serving as VARs but am interested in finding an independent third party.Director of IT
See Full DiscussionI have conducted my own investigation and analysis using native cloud platform tooling, applying the Technology Business Management (TBM) taxonomy, and LeanIX, to help understand cloud costs. Apptio is another product I was looking at as well to help improve cloud costs. Apptio is easily integrated with LeanIX. https://www.apptio.com/products/ibm-apptio/ https://www.leanix.net/en/enterprise-architecture/integrations#apptio
Cloudability is AppTio’s FinOps certified platform to enable cloud cost optimization efforts:

My opinion is that I don’t trust independent third-party’s (consultants) to take an unbiased approach nor even have an effective diligent approach. I have had average to poor experiences with third-party’s that management in my previous organization brought in to conduct an investigation. Given good tooling and a decent budget I think you are better off creating your own cloud centre of excellence that follows best practices for workload cost management and optimization.
Lastly, I read the recent post from Curt Hodge on that question, he is recommending PointFive. I had a look at PointFive’s website information and I would agree with Curt’s recommendation to take a closer look at the PointFive solution https://www.pointfive.co/ however at first glance they seem to be AWS focused and there is no mention of GCP integration.
VP of Product Management
We have a Vertex AI environment and we plan to apportion the consumption costs use case wise that are on onboarded on to a project. Currently Google Cloud provides option to extract data for billing at Project level only and we can get details below project level.
Hence trying to check if there is a option/configurations to be made to assign costs at use case wise that are onboarded with in a project.CIO

Great cloud platform but it has steep learning curve and hidden cost
It is a solid Data and AI Cloud platform. which you can use with the Pay-as-Go model. It is great that you can build scalable applications without managing physical hardware.
