User Testimonials
	F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack	Google Cloud Run
Likelihood to Recommend	F5 F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack is quite straightforward with the UI and you can expose the features you want. This simplifies the experience for non-admins Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google Microservices and RestFul API application as it is fast and reliant. Seamless integration with event triggers such as pubsub or event arc, so you can easily integrate that with usecases with file uploads, database changes, etc. Basically great with short-lived tasks, if however, you have long-running processses, Cloud Run might not be idle for this. For example if you have a long running data processing task, other solutions such as kubeflow pipelines or dataflow are more suited for this kind of tasks. Cloud Run is also stateless, so if you need memory, you will have to connect an external database. Incentivized Harold Snyers Machine Learning Engineer Read full review
Pros	F5 Kubernetes Cloud Ease of use Value Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google multiple entry points to have a deployment ready (artifact repository, container repository, git actions) easy to use with other Google services with built in connectors for cloud sql and redis great in built logging and monitoring Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	F5 It's still a little early so the app feels foreign to our ops teams I would like to customize the UI so I can visually see if I'm in Prod or Dev based on background colors Templates are a little awkward to create Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google CLI is bloated and can be difficult to get started. The learning curve for configuration is higher than expected for a "simple" paradigm. Limited storage of any kind requires a significant rethink from stateful pipelines. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	F5 Wowza, keep going this direction. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google The UI/console is great... the documentation is top-notch for developers, but the CLI itself when you have to script around it is very complex and easy to forget some options... the downside of a generic command line client. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	F5 generally support is fast Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	F5 F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack's partner provided services are excellent Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	F5 F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack is much more robust and feature rich than Agile Fleet Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google The Goolge docs for their products as well as the UI is a lot nicer than AWS or Azure and in general I found it much easy to work with. We selected Google mainly because of startup credits and the support offered but can confidently say we would choose them again without that added perk in the future Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	F5 We are able to consolidate with F5, eliminating Cloudflare. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google allowed for easy deployment allowed teams to get around our normal deployment controls and practices caused fuzziness about when to use which solution Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
