Cons
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed.""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.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops.""Data consumption of the device could be improved.""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.""I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."

More Google App Engine Cons →

"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified.""The service mesh integrations could improve the solution.""There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling.""The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy.""Technical support could be a bit better.""Making it even more cost-effective could be explored.""The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."
