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."Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"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."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"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."
"The user interface is very good for administrators."
"Being cloud-based saves the provisioning aspect of an on-premises solution."
"The initial setup is simple."
"I have found Microsoft Azure to be stable. We have large corporate customers and it is working great."
"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."
"Azure allows us to bring applications to life quickly."
"The solution is very flexible, it is not limited to Microsoft solutions. It integrates well with other solutions, such as Oracle. There are a lot of templates we are able to use allowing us to reduce the time for configuration."
"Microsoft Azure is scalable."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"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 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."
"It could be cheaper."
"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."
"I haven't checked the console for some time, however, compared to the AWS console, the interaction console of the web part, the web services, it's not so easy."
"I have found Microsoft Azure has many components to use and it's very difficult to understand every component."
"Because it has a lot of features, a person just coming into Microsoft Azure might feel that it is a bit complex."
"With Microsoft, our only concern is exchange rates because we're paying in dollars. It's very expensive for us because of the exchange rates. It would help if they partnered with someone locally so we can pay in our local currency."
"I would like to see the console improved."
"The dashboard of Microsoft Azure could be better."
