Mostly great!

Very good, other than the aforementioned. Dealing with customer support is not nice, and makes the nice integrations less nice

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Lots of very slick integrations that make working with cloud from an ops perspective very easy and low friction

Cons:

Lack of ARM architecture, and big obvious gaps in common infrastructure, for example backups in big query and cloud sql. Also customer support is difficult.

Reasons for choosing Google Cloud

Cheaper, easier to integrate with, better credits.
