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)."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."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"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 most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"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."
"It has some limitations. For example, you don't get through layer two connectivity. So I've had some difficulty deploying custom VMs. For example, you can't deploy a KVM file to file directly on GCP."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"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 licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
