Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"The support for ephemeral instances has been particularly valuable for me. It allows me to significantly reduce costs for temporary virtual machines by automatically destroying them once they are no longer needed, which can result in cost savings of up to 90 percent. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"From a feature perspective, I find API integration, automation capabilities, and features like preemptive and Spot instances valuable. Migration tools have also been useful."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"The solution is simple. It's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out. It's very fast to develop the screens and the modelling."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"I would like to improve the solution’s UI while deploying a container. It is sometimes hard to figure out the container’s details and format that you want to deploy. The tool does not give you a guide to find out the error and why the container is not starting up which could be because you have configured it wrong. This is always a hit on the setup."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"Google Compute Engine does not have many options at a lower tier level. If they had more options it will be better. For example, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, have more options and different types of instances, of VMs we can select."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"The biggest problem is that it's got a very archaean and complex security environment that has to be very carefully set up and is easy to break."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."
