We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service 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)."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 initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"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."
"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 would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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."
"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 would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
