"We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."
"The solution can scale."
"Google Cloud is 100 percent stable."
"It's a perfect tool for startups."
"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well."
"This platform is popular with technical users because of the abilities for customization and fine-tuning performance."
"The solution scales well."
"It is a stable solution."
"I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks."
"To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management."
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."
"I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud."
"When companies grow at a larger scale, they may shift to a different cloud services provider like AWS or Oracle."
"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"My only concern is that a number of the offerings are built on their own proprietary technologies which means means that, with respect to the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"The price of the solution could be more transparent."
"Google Cloud could improve interoperability with other cloud services."
"Security features could be improved."
"We'd like the storage to be increased."
