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."The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"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."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."

"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
