Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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 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."
"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."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"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."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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 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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"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."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
