We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 and Google App Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apache, Zadara and others in Compute Service."The ethernet configuration is stable and the product is reliable."
"There's a lot of encryption across the setups to ensure that database credentials and everything related to security are well managed."
"EC2 is flexible when we need to increase its resources (memory, boosting, and storage) based on our usage. That is the power of EC2."
"My favorite feature of this solution is the flexibility of instance types, which allows for the cost to be tailored to the usage amount and type."
"The product is easy and quick to set up."
"I like the AMI-related features. A very good feature of this solution is the customizable AMI. It is a very good feature provided by Amazon. The encryption technologies are also very good. We are using KMS, etc."
"The product helps us with scalability. We also need not have data centers."
"What we have found most valuable is that we have not lost stability in the program."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"There should be enhanced accessibility from any standpoint. The accessibility should be increased, particularly in scenarios where accessing the software on the Azure platform from the cloud can be complex. Simplifying this process would be beneficial. There are too many steps involved."
"This solution could be improved with better pricing. If you continue using this solution over a long period of time, your costs may accumulate."
"The ease of migrating applications could be improved."
"The monitoring part could be improved. When we're building and configuring things or doing database replication, EC2's monitoring could provide more information. It's hard to find the information I need in the graphs they provide."
"It's not the best of the best because we still have issues with downtime. We still have issues with the cost of storage, with all these different instance styles, and how much it costs. They cost an arm and a leg the higher you go."
"The price could be better, and it could be more affordable. Because I run my own servers, the prices are quite high."
"The product needs to improve its cost management."
"Amazon EC2 could improve the stability."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
