Compiled from public sources and not scored yet.

Covers Google Cloud's partner programme for co-selling and services partners only - the Google Cloud Partner Network, which replaced Partner Advantage and its Sell and Service engagement models in 2026. The build (ISV) path and Google Cloud Marketplace are out of scope.

How to read the charts
  • Charted entries have been checked and scored by indyrct, and show when we last verified them. Sighted entries are compiled from public sources and aren't scored yet.
  • The Value Radar scores a programme out of 10 on four things: Propensity, Profitability, Priority and Presence. A bigger shape means a stronger programme for partners. The total is out of 40.
  • Partner requirements are what a partner has to meet to join or keep its status, such as revenue targets, certifications, requalification or credit checks. We rate them Light, Moderate or Demanding.
  • A dashed, empty radar means we haven't charted that programme yet. 'Not published by vendor' means the vendor doesn't say publicly - not that the programme lacks it.
