We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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 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."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"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 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."
"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"
"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 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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
