We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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 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 most valuable feature is auto-scaling."
"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 solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"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 benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"I rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"Customer service could be improved."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
