We performed a comparison between Google App Engine and Google Cloud 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."The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate 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."
"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."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"Simple to use on the web, and makes things easy for a software developer."
"What I like most about Google Cloud is its stability. I also like that its GUI works fine for my company."
"Google Cloud is very user-friendly."
"The customer service team for this solution is very knowledgeable."
"Google Meet is simple to use regarding configuration and recording sessions."
"There is no downtime. It is very reliable."
"We can increase the storage as we need."
"I like that it is simple to use."
"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 support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"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 documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"The price of the solution could be more transparent."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools."
"The storage available for this solution could be improved, especially compared to a solution like Microsoft which offers 1 TB of storage. Google cloud offers only 30 GB."
"Technical support needs help."
"When companies grow at a larger scale, they may shift to a different cloud services provider like AWS or Oracle."
"The privacy could be improved so that it is more secure."
"Its integration with one of the third-party platforms could be better."
