"Google Compute Engine: Flexible and Scalable for Real-World Workloads"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

What I like most about GCE is its flexibility and scalability. Spinning up VMs is quick and easy, and we can choose the exact CPU, memory, and storage configurations we need for different workloads. It integrates seamlessly with other Google Cloud services, which made it straightforward for our team to manage cloud infrastructure alongside our on-prem systems. The monitoring and logging features are also solid — we can track performance and system events in real time, which has been crucial for keeping our applications stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

The biggest challenge with GCE is that cost can grow quickly if resources aren’t carefully managed, especially with high-performance VMs. Some of the networking configurations, like firewall rules and VPC setups, are powerful but can be a bit confusing for new team members. Also, while the console is comprehensive, there’s a learning curve when managing multiple projects or regions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My personal experience"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

The best thing about Google Computer Engine is the it's very fast compare to other cloud provider.

So, when I am using azure or AWS service whenever I launch a service it will take 1 or 2 minute to create and functions but in Google compute Engine. Whenever I launch a service it will immediately available for me with 10 or 15 seconds.

That's is the best thing which I like about Google Compute Engine

One downside is the complex pricing structure, which can be a bit challenging to navigate, especially for beginners. The support can also sometimes be slower than expected, particularly for lower-tier plans, which may impact response time for critical issues. Improving customer support availability and clarity on pricing would enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
