Cloud services have reduced on‑prem hardware costs and now support flexible microservices workloads
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Google Cloud, considering that they are providing 300 plus services, some services could be improved. For example, if I am facing some network troubleshooting issue in GKE in Google Cloud, I have to dig deeply and enable some special logs, such as flow logs. To enable that, it is chargeable. At least for basic services, they should give end-to-end support. In terms of end-to-end support, if I am purchasing one firewall from Google and using that firewall, all firewall-related services should be free. If I want to troubleshoot something deep and perform deep troubleshooting, you have to enable some additional logs. That is not that good. If I have to enable additional logs and want to store them into Google Cloud storage, which is similar to an S3 bucket, it is again chargeable. Those kinds of things should be given as part of the package. If you take firewall, all firewall-related logs, activities, and diagnostics everything should come as one package. If you want to do some deep analysis, you have to enable these logs, and for that you have to store them in the cloud storage, which is again chargeable. We should not have those kinds of things.Regarding additional costs, it can vary case by case. If I want to do deep analysis, I have to enable some logs, and for those logs, Google is charging. I am already paying for my virtual firewall from Google, and I am paying the cost for that. If I want to do some further troubleshooting and enable some low-level logs, they are charging for that. So these are the kinds of things I am talking about. To do very deep-level troubleshooting and enable additional logs, they will be charging. Not only Google, but all clouds are charging for this. Functionality-wise, Google Cloud is fine. In terms of virtual machine deployment or VM instance, the functionality is good.

Ability to create different connections, multi-tenant architecture but slow execution of commands
There are a lot of features in Oracle Developer. You can create tables, users, views, materialized views. You can also do data pump jobs to export jobs, export databases and dump files, create backup jobs, that sort of thing. Users can usually integrate this tool with other solutions for development or management processes. There are different connections you can create. For example, with Office applications, you can connect to the database. Or if you're programming in Java, you can use a JDK connection to retrieve data from the database and read, store, or update records. For security, everything's perfect. You can use an SSH connection if you're accessing a server in the cloud, or you just have a normal IP connection if you're running your database on the local network.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have a development center in Manila with very experienced guys and they love Google Cloud."
"The availability of content on the solution is very valuable."
"The solution is very stable, the performance is good, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it reliable."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is easy to use and has a very familiar interface."
"The solution works well for BigQuery and big data analysis support such as column alerts and tabular databases."
"The stability of Google Cloud is currently good."
"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."
"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."
"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product; it's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
"The solution's technical support is really good."
 

Cons

"The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it."
"The management side for the database needs some work. Currently, you do everything from the APP. It would be nice to have an interface where you can go in and maintain data and deal with records and do something online."
"There are occasionally things which are inconvenient. For example, uploading pictures or files then requires you to transfer to a different folder."
"The security features must be improved."
"The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client."
"I feel that the Google product is incomplete with regard to internal communications. It is an area that needs some improvement."
"They could always offer even more storage at the base level."
"The solution could be a bit cheaper."
"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."
"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."
"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."

"I don't pay for the license. For me, it's completely free."
"The solution is cheaper than AWS."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"We pay for a license."
"The price of Google Cloud is affordable compared to others services. I pay monthly for the service."
"For the license, we didn't have to pay for any additional fees."
"Its cost depends on specific use cases."
"Google Cloud is on the expensive side for us. I don't have exact figures on the cost per year or month."
"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
