We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Google Cloud 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."Technical support is quite helpful."
"I am very impressed by the solution's stability."
"We have seen an improvement in our infrastructure, as the code makes it very easy to deploy quickly to AWS."
"It is stable. For the cloud version, we require some installation platforms and we don't have a server with us right now. We require it from Amazon AWS. We can just plan and get the AWS server."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple."
"The most important feature is deploying our production in multi-data regions around the world."
"There are many valuable features, I find the EMR in the platform easy to use and to learn."
"Cloud Trail API log storage."
"It's easy to work with."
"It is a stable solution."
"We can increase the storage as we need."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its flexibility."
"The customer service team for this solution is very knowledgeable."
"It didn't take long to get everything set up and understand what was going on. Things are pretty clear."
"The product scales well."
"I like the simple features that allow me to share documents with others."
"The pricing is something you have to watch. You really have to constantly optimize your costs for instances and things like that. That can become a job in itself to manage just from a budgeting standpoint."
"Price can always be cheaper."
"In terms of additional features we'd like to see, the one thing that comes to mind is better integration with Oracle. We have a lot of Oracle databases, and there is no other option to either migrate to PaaS, stay on-prem, or use Oracle Private Cloud."
"Monthly costs can be high if you don't maintain your usage"
"AWS for API, or Seller Central, is no improvement from what we had (our internal tools we designed to update accounts, change customer network profiles, monitoring, MRTG graphs, etc), when AWS should be blazing."
"It can be daunting because of the number of AWS products there are."
"Price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that has a scope for improvement"
"It just needs to be improved from the security perspective."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Workload management could be better. Their pricing could also be more flexible."
"Lower pricing would make Google Cloud better."
"The privacy could be improved so that it is more secure."
"My only concern is that a number of the offerings are built on their own proprietary technologies which means means that, with respect to the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"Its integration with one of the third-party platforms could be better."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."

I have worked with AWS for 4 years now and I agree with the recommendation.
If you make some research AWS will be shown as the top solution in many white papers. We made an evaluation to compare it with Google and Azure. In our case, AWS is the most cost-effective.
Depending on the solution you are running you need to check the license cost for your servers. If you have a lot of Windows solutions Azure may be a better fit.
Regarding performance, we did have an incident where the complete region was unreachable. So, make sure to consider recovery sites.
I would like to recommend MS Azure to start with.
The reasons are:
1. I bet you're using many Microsoft tools, like Office 365, Team, etc. so you're pretty familiar with the MS UX which is excellent.
2. It's easy to start/learn Azure and configurations, they have very detailed documentation online.
3. It's relatively cheaper with Azure IaaS with good starting numbers of notes/services.
