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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"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."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Customer service could be improved."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
