We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and SAP Cloud 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 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 main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"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."
"From a feature perspective, I find API integration, automation capabilities, and features like preemptive and Spot instances valuable. Migration tools have also been useful."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"The solution is readily available, and software engineers can provision it. It is scalable and allows self-service."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"It is not very user-friendly for non-experienced users"
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"The licensing process is not a very straightforward process."
"The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
