What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?
Google Cloud has become the cornerstone of how we keep everything running smoothly. It stands out because of its simplicity in setup and integration with tools our team already loves—Google Workspace being the most obvious one. The seamless ecosystem makes it feel like less of a switch and more of an upgrade to what we already know
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The standout feature for me is BigQuery. Running complex analytics on campaign performance used to take hours with our previous setup. Now, we can run those same queries in minutes. The insights we get are not just fast—they’re actionable. Another favorite is the strong AI and machine learning integrations, which we’ve tapped into for analyzing audience behavior data at scale.
What do you dislike most about this product?
While the services themselves are excellent, the billing structure can sometimes be hard to decipher.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The benefits to our agency have been massive. We’ve been able to reduce downtime, scale resources dynamically during campaign peaks, and even cut costs by optimizing our usage over time. The collaboration features—especially through Google Workspace—keep creative and technical teams aligned, which is critical for campaign success.
