We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Virtuozzo Application Platform 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 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 most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"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 advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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."
"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 needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
