We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Virtuozzo Application Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."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."
"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 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."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"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."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"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."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
