We performed a comparison between Google App Engine and Microsoft Azure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"I like the familiarity of this solution."
"It is stable and scalable. It is useful for many applications and services, such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive."
"User interface and portal are great."
"Microsoft Azure is an optimized solution when we compare it to any other particular cloud solution."
"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."
"The best feature is it's easy to integrate with other Microsoft solutions."
"I think the single sign-on functionality and the ease with which you can deposit things on the cloud have been valuable. Azure has very robust security functionalities and authentication features, which come with mobility, along with backup and credential checks."
"The technical support has been excellent."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Azure calculator could be improved, there are issues with login synchronization."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"I would like to see more automation and AI with the cloud to help the clients understand more about their clients, their history data, and their predictive analytics. This would help them better manage their clients."
"We like that they have the new capabilities, but sometimes they're deprecating capabilities faster than we can handle. If we had to improve it, we would want to stay on some of these older capabilities a bit longer."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"I believe that some of the services need to be available on the on-premises version and not only based on the cloud."
"The pricing needs to be a bit lower. It's an expensive solution right now."
"I think the cloud interface could be improved."
