"Reliable and Scalable – Great for Developers!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

What I like best about Google Compute Engine is its performance and scalability. Spinning up virtual machines is super easy, and the auto-scaling works really well during traffic spikes. I also love how smoothly it integrates with other Google Cloud services, which makes managing deployments much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

The main thing I dislike about Google Compute Engine is the pricing — it can get expensive if you don’t monitor usage carefully. Also, there’s a bit of a learning curve when setting up configurations for the first time, especially if you’re new to Google Cloud. Apart from that, once you get used to it, the experience is smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Compute Engine helps me deploy and manage applications easily without worrying about maintaining physical servers. It automatically handles traffic spikes with auto-scaling, which saves a lot of time and effort. I also use it for hosting APIs, running microservices, and scaling React apps, and the performance has been very reliable. Because of this, we can deliver faster, keep downtime low, and focus more on building features instead of managing infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Cloud or GCP- the next best thing in the town Should call as an Giant Killer for MS or Amazon"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

Perfect combination of intutive features, security , ease of use and so many custom offerings.

Just work like an wow with other Google products like like Google Workspace, Google Drive, and Google Sheets and other custom Google offerings.

Have such an vast technogical support base and active user communities.

Recent offering with Gen AI and AI has made the product more robust and user friendly.

The auto scaling opportunities provided are next to the level.

It has simply got better with time.

Lots of custom friendliness available depending on user profile and demographic information, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

For few service offerings- the pricing structure is quiet complex, take some time for user to understand the structure.

Since it is an late comer in the market - the early mover advantage is not there and people need very solid reasons to migrate from AWS or Microsoft to GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
