We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and OpenShift 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)."Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"It is a stable platform."
"Great integration with Jenkins for constant integration and development. Supports all the major languages and environments - PHP, Java, Node.js, Ruby, etc."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"The stability has been good."
"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."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"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."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"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 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."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
