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."Google is managing all hardware. You don't need to provision or pre-provision your computer engine."
"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."
"One of GCE's best features is the managed instance groups."
"The initial setup is reasonably straightforward. It's a handful of networks and a handful of computers."
"It's the most engineer-friendly product compared to Amazon AWS or Azure."
"From a feature perspective, I find API integration, automation capabilities, and features like preemptive and Spot instances valuable. Migration tools have also been useful."
"Everything is simple and useful. The initial setup is not challenging."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"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 rate the product's stability around five to six out of ten."
"It has some limitations. For example, you don't get through layer two connectivity. So I've had some difficulty deploying custom VMs. For example, you can't deploy a KVM file to file directly on GCP."
"It would be better if there was an option to change the background. Like in Gmail, there's an option to change your theme."
"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 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."
"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."
"Google Compute Engine needs to have multi-region support. It would also be nice to have a tracking mechanism."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"The setup was not simple."
