We performed a comparison between Caspio and Google Compute Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, ServiceNow and others in Rapid Application Development Software."Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"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 most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"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 visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"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."
"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."
