We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups.""From a feature perspective, I find API integration, automation capabilities, and features like preemptive and Spot instances valuable. Migration tools have also been useful.""It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure.""Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine.""Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging.""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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."

"The solution is simple. It's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out. It's very fast to develop the screens and the modelling."

Cons
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users""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.""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.""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.""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.""The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."

"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's $60,000 to $70,000 a month to replace about $10,000 a month in data center costs."
  • "Google Compute Engine is not the least expensive solution. Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft One, are offering a less expensive solution. The price is based on usage. Whenever we use it, we have to pay for only usage. It is a pay-as-you-go model."
  • "Google Compute Engine's pricing is flexible and the best of all other alternatives."
  • "In terms of improvement, one is definitely the licensing piece. So there is a feature, the BYOL (Bring Your Own License) licensing piece, to bring your own license. It is not that straightforward. It requires some support from Google to get it sorted, access those licenses, and configure those licenses."
  • "I rate GCE's pricing a five out of ten since it's affordable."
  • "Google is providing money for learning Google Compute Engine. They offer a $300 free trial to new customers. Any beginner can easily get started."
