A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

During the June 2025 outage the console was down but their GKE and GCE resources in europe-west3 kept running.
They liked the UI and ease of use but had massive GKE downtimes where support hardly helped, and found permissions nearly impossible to understand.
They find GCP easy for small scale but report restarts outside maintenance windows, unexplained Pub/Sub delays and support tickets that go in circles.

It's how well reviewed Google Cloud is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a service needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed services here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
