AJ ANUJ J. Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/14/2025 "My experience using GCE" 5/5 What do you like best about Google Compute Engine? There are a few things which I personally felt nice about using google compute engine,they are like easy to scale and deploy the application near to users having its low latency global network, one more thing which caught my attention was its capability to run vm instances from one host to another without downtime as it not only required for stability but also when we maintain or health check our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine? I think it's about challenge which team needs to figure out which I experienced are like its no.of data centres are less which sometimes impact latency and performance for users, another challenge would be its complex pricing structure which needs to be made simpler for user to understand clearly. Adding to this,one more challenge would be its limited support system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you? There are several problem resolution which we get upon using GCE ,they are like when someone faces difficulty in scaling to handle traffic spikes, here GKE helps(even I felt good difference upon using it) in automating scaling capabilities,we can set up our applications to automatically add or remove vm instances based on traffic or cpu utilisation. Adding to this ,other function which helped me(with respect to company/business requirement),it boosts security as Gcloud has a dedicated team of security experts. Also, one more thing which is as important as above is problem of high cost,but here GCE uses pay -as -you go model that means for how much duration and resources we use, we have to pay that much only,no extra pay.

Software Architect & Founder GEN 6 AI LAB Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/10/2026 "Streamlined AI Training with Google Compute Engine, But Needs Longer Sessions" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Compute Engine? I like the integration of Gemini with Google Compute Engine, as it allows me to create a markdown file on my server, download it with the training data, and let Gemini handle the scripting. This integration makes my tasks a lot easier and faster. I'm also looking forward to trying the Google Drive integration for longer training sessions because of the time limit, which seems promising for my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine? I would be happier if the time limitation could be longer, because it's not even 12H. I got about 1H and then it told me to stop because of high demand, so after that I could only use CPU, but it would take forever to train the model on that. Maybe the UI is a little bit messy. When you have lots of scripts, you have to scroll up or down and search for the training script etc. This could use an upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Google Compute Engine because my server lacks a GPU, which would take forever to train my AI model.

VB Venkata B. Software development engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/10/2026 "Engineer-Friendly Power and Flexibility with Rock-Solid Performance" 5/5 What do you like best about Google Compute Engine? What I like best about Google Compute Engine (GCE) is how cleanly it balances power, flexibility, and performance without getting in your way. A few standout things for me: • Custom machine types – you’re not forced into rigid instance sizes. Need more CPU but less RAM? Easy. That level of control saves money and fits real workloads better. • Strong performance & networking – Google’s global network is genuinely fast and reliable. Low latency, solid bandwidth, and great for distributed systems. • Live migration – VMs can be moved during host maintenance with little to no downtime. That’s huge for production stability. • Deep integration with the Google ecosystem – works seamlessly with GKE, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, IAM, and monitoring. Everything feels designed to work together. • Pricing transparency – per-second billing and sustained-use discounts kick in automatically, which is refreshing. Overall, GCE feels very engineer-friendly: fewer arbitrary limits, more control, and infrastructure that just quietly does its job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine? What I dislike about Google Compute Engine (being honest, not dramatic 😅): • Steep learning curve – GCE assumes you’re already comfortable with cloud concepts. IAM, networking, projects, VPCs… powerful, but not very beginner-friendly. • IAM can feel overcomplicated – super granular (which is good), but figuring out the right role vs too much access can be frustrating. • Console UX is cluttered – the web console tries to do everything at once. Simple tasks sometimes take more clicks than they should. • Support isn’t great unless you pay – community docs are solid, but real-time help or faster resolution usually means a paid support plan. • Unexpected costs if you’re not careful – things like egress traffic, static IPs, and idle resources can quietly add up. • Smaller ecosystem compared to AWS – fewer third-party tools, tutorials, and “copy-paste” solutions in some niches. In short: GCE is excellent for engineers who know what they’re doing, but it can feel intimidating and a bit unforgiving if you’re new or moving fast without guardrails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you? Google Compute Engine is mainly solving the problem of reliable, scalable infrastructure without owning or managing hardware, and that’s a big win in a few concrete ways for me. Problems it solves → How that benefits me: • On-demand compute capacity I don’t have to guess future hardware needs or over-provision. I can spin up VMs in minutes and scale up/down as workloads change, which saves both time and money. • Infrastructure reliability & maintenance Google handles hardware failures, host maintenance, and upgrades. Features like live migration mean fewer outages, so I can focus on building and running applications instead of babysitting servers. • Flexible workload requirements With custom machine types, GPUs, preemptible/spot VMs, and different disk options, I can tailor resources exactly to my use case—whether it’s development, data processing, or production workloads. • Global deployment & low latency Running VMs close to users across regions reduces latency and improves performance without setting up physical data centers. • Cost efficiency for long-running workloads Per-second billing and sustained-use discounts automatically lower costs for VMs that run longer, which makes budgeting more predictable. • Security & access control at scale Built-in IAM, VPCs, firewalls, and OS-level hardening help secure workloads without needing custom security infrastructure. Overall, GCE benefits me by removing operational friction—less time spent on infrastructure decisions and troubleshooting, more time focused on actual product development and performance.

Systems Integration Assistant Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/19/2025 "Exceptional Performance and Flexibility for Demanding Workloads" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Compute Engine? What I appreciate most about GCE is its emphasis on performance and the flexibility of its customizable VM architecture. One standout feature is live migration, which allows virtual machines to remain operational during maintenance, minimizing downtime—a capability that's uncommon among major providers. The per-second billing model ensures you only pay for the resources you actually use, adding to its cost-effectiveness. With custom machine types, you can precisely adjust CPU and RAM allocations rather than being limited to preset VM sizes. Networking performance is robust, which is particularly beneficial for distributed workloads and global deployments. Additionally, GCE offers deep integration with Google services, making it especially advantageous for AI/ML workloads, Kubernetes, and BigQuery. Altogether, these features make GCE a highly cost-efficient and reliable choice for production workloads, particularly for organizations that require flexibility and high uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine? One aspect I find frustrating about Google Compute Engine is the complexity of its pricing structure. The costs for custom machine types and network egress can accumulate quickly, and if you’re not keeping a close eye on your usage, it’s easy to end up spending more than intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you? Google Compute Engine addresses the challenges of handling physical servers and fluctuating workloads. Rather than investing in and maintaining hardware, I am able to quickly launch virtual machines as needed, which scale automatically. This approach not only saves time and lowers infrastructure expenses, but also helps keep applications running smoothly, even during periods of high traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
