We performed a comparison between Google Compute Engine and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main motive for choosing Google Compute Engine is pricing."
"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."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"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 most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"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 initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
