Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services."
"The tool is a hosting platform that we can leverage to open servers. We can use it to build databases. We use cost management and high-performance capabilities of the tool."
"The solution scales very nicely."
"Cloud Management has been a valuable feature."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"It is easy to use."
"This solution offers a very detailed dashboard that has some metrics, such as performance and budget."
"The scalability of the product is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"There is a feature called Kinesis, which has to do with image processing. There are a few artificial intelligence tools that Amazon AWS should improve on."
"The price could be better. Support for data analytics could be better. I don't see much support for data analytics. They have a lot of support in Azure, but I don't see a lot of innovation on the data analytics side in AWS."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The solution can get to be a little expensive."
"Amazon still has room for improvement in terms of being more mature on the monitoring side and in terms of the native capabilities. Amazon should get their services portfolio stronger on OEM-based workloads such as Microsoft and Oracle. There are a lot of areas that still do not have offerings, so there is room to grow. I would be happy if they bring more maturity to the monitoring capabilities and SaaS offerings. They are strong on Infrastructure as a Service, but they are not mature on SaaS."
"The solution could have better security and more integration with other platforms."
"It would be ideal if they could provide automatic health reports. That way, I would be able to understand at a glance the state of my services at any given time."
"I'd like to see AWS implement consolidated billing for businesses operating under one group. We want to consolidate the functionalities but keep the billing separate. That is a challenge we've faced, and I feel it's something they can improve on. For example, maybe you have three businesses that are operating under one group, and you want each entity to have a separate bill for the respective workload that they're using."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
