We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Google App Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that it's easy to use."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"It is intuitive, easy to deploy, and rather quick to deploy and set up. There are a number of native services in the ecosystem. These services are built into the cloud and are mature enough to support you in many ways."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"AWS has large community support."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"I would like to receive some alerts when my consumption is getting out of the normal range."
"Its price should be lower. The price for in-house usage should be different from production usage."
"I'm not an expert on the product, but if I had to suggest one improvement, I know a feature that would allow a person to backup his on-premise solution to the cloud directly with one click would be useful. This solution should be agnostic because sometimes a product that was backed up with Veeam is highly compatible with Commvault. I think it would be better if these backup features were agnostic. Viewing a build could also be improved. It's not easy to follow up on your consumption and see how much you're paying and how much you will be paying. Viewing the build could be more clear."
"Our API Management solution is integrated with Lambda, and last year, we had an issue while upgrading Lambda from version 8.0 to version 10. It seemed like Lambda runtime was changed by AWS, and there was a bug that caused the downtime. The loading of the dashboard is slow. It could be because I am located in China."
"There should be improvement in terms of creating databases of varying sizes which would provide flexibility."
"AWS could be improved with more integration, but I can see that they're developing these features and working very hard on their platform."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation."
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
