We performed a comparison between Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Platform based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Google Cloud slightly nudges ahead of Oracle Cloud Platform in this comparison. Google Cloud is very flexible, user friendly, and widely acknowledged. Users feel Oracle Cloud Platform is lacking some basic features and currently offers a very small portfolio.
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it frees up space in your device by allowing you to store your files on the cloud and provides 15GB storage for free."
"It’s very stable."
"It's a stable enough solution."
"It's easy to use."
"Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable."
"The best feature is ease of use."
"Google Cloud Storage includes Docs, calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Meet."
"It is a good service for file storage."
"It is a very scalable solution. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten."
"Azure File Storage gives good value for money, so I don't find it expensive."
"This solution supports all file formats."
"We have not explored the desktop performance analysis of the file storage, but the user interface, API, and the response that we receive over the file storage are very good. We have a lot of customers that connect to the client-side, click the images, and upload them. The beauty of the solution is that we can mount the file storage into a critical server as well as an external drive. The speed that we receive with the images is pretty good."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure File Storage is that all the features are available in one place."
"Integration with the entire Azure platform."
"It was quick to synchronize back from Azure to the on-premise server."
"The security of this solution and its performance could still be improved."
"Having more storage space would be an improvement."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"My use case of this solution is fairly minimal. However, I am concerned about privacy on a cloud platform. Many people are not migrating to a cloud service because they are still concerned about putting data in cloud-based storage."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"The user experience needs to be simplified."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money."
"Microsoft Azure File Storage needs more integrations. In the future, I also want to see GRC added to the portal. If you enroll or sign up for Azure services, your country may not have GRC available in the portal, so you may have to choose a strange country, for example, Kenya, to activate credit."
"The pricing and technical support could be better."
"It’s a challenge to find the right support person."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in helping customers understand and integrate Azure File Storage into their operations."
"I have used the file storage explorer in multiple systems, and it seems a bit cumbersome and not very efficient, particularly with authentication. It can be tricky to set it up."
"Microsoft Azure File Storage is not that scalable. Once you reach the boundaries, you need to migrate to another solution."
"The initial setup is complex. Unless you have done it a few times it, it is going to be hard."
