What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

Google's pricing structure is well designed, especially for compute and storage resources. GCE has really low latency access from many location around the world, we used the GCE as a proxy server. We've also used to use S3 for serving education videos on our specialized LMS system. The pricing jump from Amazon S3 to Google Cloud Storage is huge win for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

We extensively use GCE, but there is a pain point in it. The configuration management is mid compared to Amazon EC2, for integrating our api services. We had to find workaround for it to work. Though it has low latency network, the jump from EC2 in the latency perspective wasn't that Huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Acquiring and maintaining high performance computing (hpc) hardware is expensive and time consuming. GCE can scale up and down very quickly (Around 60-70% faster than Amazon EC2), We've used it for Background Jobs, for transcribing large video files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

And surely has a Good support for Kubernetes unlike other Cloud provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I will provide review in short descrptions but it will be honest one.

The Google compute engine surely solves the problem of Compute and as I mentioned that It gives you faster Compute compare to other provider. We don't have to wait long unlike other providers for compute. This is what I have liked more about Google compute

And Google compute enginee is better for kubernetes services. Which has better enterprice level support compare to other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
