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

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.

"Scalable and Reliable Cloud Infrastructure with Google Compute Engine"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

The following are some of the most helpful features of Google Compute Engine:-

1. You can create custom virtual machines with the exact specifications of your choice.

2. It offers us a feature of live migration, which is not present in other platforms.

3. You can opt for per-second billing in this type of cloud infrastructure.

4. We receive multiple discounts by using it for a longer term.

5. It is compatible with the GCP platform, which enables its vast usage.

6. Besides being on a cloud platform, it offers a wide variety of security features like encryption, Virtual private cloud, protected VMs, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

1. New users often find it difficult to use the platform due to its complexity.

2. It has been in the market for a long time, but is still not as compatible with third-party tools as other cloud platforms.

3. The marketplace of Google does not provide many options to create built-in images.

4. The Platform is not available in many regions services like GPU or TPU are limited to a very small number of regions.

5. The platform is not cost-effective for small businesses.

6. Sometimes the VMs take a longer time to boot as compared to VMs on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Experience was good, but it can be improved."
4/5
What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

Used it in LinkedIn Premium to tailor resumes, write cover letters, and InMails to hiring teams -it was quick and content, context was relevant to my profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

After generating some responses, it was repeated all over again -No new versions of the same response were available. If every click can produce a different response. It would be more helpful in selecting what would be the best suitable response for that specific requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheap and felxible compute environment"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

The best thing I like about Compute Engine is ability to choose among a lot of instance type. It has different machine configuration that suits all kind of workload. if you have a smaller workload, just choose a smaller VM. VMs with GPUs are also available on this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

The booting time of GCP's Compute Engine Instance is more. AWS's EC2 is better on this front. When configured in managed instance group, during scale up, it can cause some delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
