Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"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."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"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."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"I love the report building that is available."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"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."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"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."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"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 integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
"I would like to see the organizational details improved to make it less difficult to bring new clients on board."
"Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive."
"The management of Salesforce could be quite a task. Old and unusable contacts can add up over time. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to initiate a self-cleaning feature."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
