We performed a comparison between Google App Engine and Google Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"There is no downtime. It is very reliable."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to spin."
"The availability has been increased."
"Google Cloud performs well."
"Google Cloud has low downtime."
"You can just connect and start using it through a browser within a few minutes."
"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"The availability of content on the solution is very valuable."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Google Cloud lacks some tools for database migration. I've only used MySQL and AWS in my career, so those are the only ones I can compare. AWS has a database migration tool that you can integrate with a cloud backup, so can take that backup and restore it in the AWS public cloud, but it's not the same with Google Cloud."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"The product must provide AI features."
"Google Cloud could improve the integration with other solutions."
"They need to improve the costing for predictive analytics, which is mainly related to the tools that come with AI. They also need to improve the BigQuery cost optimization and the visualization."

"The product could always be a little bit less expensive."
"The privacy could be improved so that it is more secure."
