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."Technical support is quite helpful."
"It has many choices of computer options, storage options, and even database options."
"Some of the introduced one-year and three-year reservations helped us reduce costs early on. With time, we learned how to minimize our at REST capacity, allowing us to scale up and scale down in near seconds."
"The initial setup is not difficult and it did not take us more than one day."
"Elasticity has always been AWS's mandate. The flexibility of their platform from a systems perspective lives up to its claims."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment is fast."
"I like that it helps us do everything really fast, and its advanced services."
"Easy to access and secure, two important features."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"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 solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"One area that could be improved is in data management. They could improve on the data side. For example, I see others with better cloud services and larger data computing capabilities."
"Their metadata management in AWS needs improvement."
"Amazon AWS would be improved if it were more stable and if customer support's responses were faster."
"The product would be better if it was more secure."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"The interface needs a bit of work. It's not intuitive."
"AWS could be more scalable."
"The initial setup is not easy at all."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"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."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
