The solution has good scalability, but its customer support could be improved
We wanted to host one of the applications for our global uses, so we posted it on the OCI platform. Since disaster recovery, we are looking for a... Read more →

More Google Cloud Pros →

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network.""The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable.""What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing.""The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors.""It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere.""The product's configuration is simple.""The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed.""They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pros →

Cons
"Google Cloud would benefit from more detailed practical hands-on training especially in your mother tongue, not just English.""Current technologies keep on changing, so definitely those new changes need to be incorporated quickly. The competition is always out there to be one step ahead. How those open-source platforms can be easily integrated into the cloud, is going to be the key in the future.""I would like to see some improvement in the accessibility features of this solution.""They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications.""Could provide more services.""It could have a reporting tool included.""Google is slower to support .NET.""The product could always be a little bit less expensive."

More Google Cloud Cons →

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better.""In the next release, I would like to see more automation.""It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors.""​Customer service could be improved.​""The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement.""Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack.""The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily.""There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Google cloud is less expensive than other comparable solutions."
  • "The licensing for Google Cloud seems to be quite cheap and they're actually quite reasonable in comparison to Azure, which, as it turns out, is quite expensive. Even though Azure has a data center in South Africa it's still quite costly. There's no scaling, so if you go with the VM, you pay 2500 Rand. When you add another VM, it's another 2500 Rand even though you don't use the whole thing. With Google, you can go up as incrementally as you need to, even if it's just 30 Rand."
  • "The best part of Google Cloud is that it is cheaper than the competitors."
  • "The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use."
  • "It's not really an expensive solution, but it would be better if there were more flexibility in the pricing model."
  • "I am not familiar with the pricing, but I would guess that it is probably cheaper than Microsoft Suite"
  • "It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage."
  • "Pricing is high compared to other solutions."

    • More Google Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

    Overview

    Google Cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service Cloud (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution that provides infrastructure tools and services for building applications on top of a public cloud computing platform. As one of the leading global infrastructures, this product allows users to securely manage enterprise data, receive valuable insights, and store documents. Google Cloud provides its various services through tools and services for data warehousing, security key enforcement, application programming interface (API) management, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).
