We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"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 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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"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."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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."
"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
