Reasonably priced and offers high availability features

The synchronization between two tools, meaning if I have another server outside Google Cloud, as far as I know, I cannot mimic the server in Google Cloud to another server outside Google Cloud. I don't know if Google has the above-mentioned features or not, and if it does have them, then maybe Google can help us set things right and how to make a server mimic either of the servers outside Google. With the hot swap features or if Google Cloud itself is down, we can replace the services with another server. Right now, I have another server outside Google as a backup of a production server. There should be synchronization between servers inside Google and those outside it. The high availability features in Google are only available in Google Compute Engine in different regions. If I have another server outside Google, the high availability features in Google cannot synchronize with such a server.

Performance and availability of services need improvement

NTT Cloud needs to analyze feature offerings from AWS and Azure. Additionally, they should do marketing and be more vocal about the services. They should further ensure the availability of the services as well. I rate NTT Cloud a three out of ten. In comparison, AWS and Azure are easier to fit into the environment in terms of reliability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."

"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."

"The overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"The solution helps to direct SSH into the machine at the click of a button. It also helps to deploy container images right from the UI. There is no need to manage the containers on the machine. I also like the tool’s Spot provision model."

"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."

More Google Compute Engine pros

"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service."

"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."

Cons

"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."

"Sometimes support takes time to reply."

"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."

"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"

"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."

"The high availability features in Google are only available in Google Compute Engine in different regions. If I have another server outside Google, the high availability features in Google cannot synchronize with such a server."

"There have been instances when a customer has tried to deploy a certain number of VMs inside a project, and they come across quota issues."

"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."

More Google Compute Engine cons

"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."

"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of improvement, one is definitely the licensing piece. So there is a feature, the BYOL (Bring Your Own License) licensing piece, to bring your own license. It is not that straightforward. It requires some support from Google to get it sorted, access those licenses, and configure those licenses."

"Google Compute Engine's pricing is flexible and the best of all other alternatives."

"Google Compute Engine is not the least expensive solution. Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft One, are offering a less expensive solution. The price is based on usage. Whenever we use it, we have to pay for only usage. It is a pay-as-you-go model."

"It's $60,000 to $70,000 a month to replace about $10,000 a month in data center costs."

"The tool is reasonably priced, considering its scalability features. If we want to extend the server's capacity, we can do it, and I think it's reasonable."

"I rate GCE's pricing a five out of ten since it's affordable."

"Google is providing money for learning Google Compute Engine. They offer a $300 free trial to new customers. Any beginner can easily get started."

"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
