"Not an experienced user with Google Compute"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

Not sure yet. I have not used it enough yet. Their GUI is intuitive and easy to use, probably easier than AWS, but comparable to Digital Ocean. I have no idea about their customer support, but my past experience is that it is not easy to customer support from Google beyond what is available via a bot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

Not sure yet. It looks like the price can get high quite quickly. I have been using Digital Ocean for awhile and kind of like their platform. It is a pain to migrate everything to another provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
