Google Distributed Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Being a Google product, the service works well to integrate across several other apps. The cloud is also safer and keeps data local, which works well for keeping sensitive development code and data.

Like

Simplifies the management and operations

Like

Low latency, multi cloud support and security

Dislike

Extra work is needed to keep data secure and sovereign for our on-premises items. And while integration is vast and seamless, it becomes difficult to manage safety policies across a huge range of apps. Eventually the seamless integration stops being a benefit due to policy and safety concerns.

Dislike

The pricing is elevated for this product

Dislike

Is not good if you have an hybrid instance
