Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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."
"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 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."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The product is very stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
