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 initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"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 pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"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 is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
