    When I am working with a large team of developers. Also, when a security policy, you are not allowed to install any app on your laptop. Cloud 9 is well integrated with Cloud commit. So we don't have to spend time in configurations.

    When most of our stuff is in Google Cloud Platform, it works great to integrate and cross/share data that is all in Google Cloud Platform or BigQuery. It has simplified things from a permissions perspective as well. I'd say it is less appropriate when trying to test something quickly locally, or when half your stuff is in AWS or another provider.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • It provides an extremely intuitive and easy-to-use interface, so adapting to it does not take much time.
    • It contains the most common programming languages.
    • It allows the export of files, either directly to the repository or to the team where you want it.
    • It is housed in the cloud so you can work with it from anywhere.
    • Allows you to share code or work on them with others in real-time.
    • Does not require installation.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Confusing documentation - AWS's documentation remains quite confusing, and the layout of other services/settings that you have to use with Cloud9 can be a bit of a handful.
    • Sometimes slow - As the size of a project increases, the editor gets increasingly slower, and starts slowing down the browser overall.
    • Long setup process - The setup for Cloud9 can be hard and tough, especially since the documentation is quite hard to understand.

    • The UI is so confusing. The console is good, but it is like a maze. There are too many menus and settings, and things do not work as expected. It takes time to get friendly, and it is not friendly for new users.
    • Support experience: Sometimes, you get a great engineer, but other times, it's very difficult to talk with them as they are unable to respond as expected and solve issues late.
    • Region and zone are issues, as not all services are available in all regions, which is lacking when deploying something in the same region or zone.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    The interface for Cloud9 needs some improvement. It is simply not as powerful and intelligent as a local text editor would be and thus it lacks the capabilities of fast filling when coding. Otherwise, I think it has a fair interface that they have tried mimicking an IDE.

    The Google Cloud Platform console is pretty slick for BigQuery especially. I have liked the visibility I get from using that and the way to integrate and see what's in our data lake. The logging console for tracking GKE jobs isn't quite as great, which is why it doesn't get a full 10.

    Customer support is managed by the Cloud support team. I won't be able to comment on details, but it's fast.

    [AWS] Cloud9 offers specific features not available in the competition: Code collaboration using the chat features is the highlight which sets it apart. [The] code completion feature makes [it] very similar to the offline IDE like eclipse. It's much easier to use compared to Codeanywhere. It provides terminal access to EC2 instances and hence other amazon services.

    Google Cloud Platform is release later than Amazon web service, I think that why Google Cloud Platform can learned and optimized the Dashboard and some features that make it easy to use and can be cheaper than amazon web service.

    • We have the most appropriate tools for software development in one place.
    • We can work from anywhere so if that day we could not get to our office or something we can do from home.
    • We can code with a single browser.

    • It allows us to focus our efforts on other, more important items at hand
    • It gives us an affordable option letting me know it's available to all users, not just the largest scale ones out there
    • The customer service is always helpful and reliable, along with the service itself which lets me focus on my work instead of worrying about the service.
