User Testimonials
	Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)	UpCloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Google An effective pricing strategy is in place. Google Cloud VPC is the most secure since it runs on a private network and never contacts the public network. Google is well-known for its AI/ML and Kubernetes engines, both of which have a leg up on the competition. Google Cloud VPC's database services are yet to be improved. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UpCloud If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Google Serverless connector helps Cloud Run services to communicate privately. Serverless connector supports auto scaling. Being serverless, the cost is based on usage for serverless connector. Incentivized Vinaya Kumar Bendi Engineering Lead Read full review	UpCloud Pricing Ease of use - super easy to manage existing servers and deploy new ones Great customer service Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Google Sometimes the group settings tab lags a little Although overall it's easy to use, some of the sections lack documentation Routes section is very poorly implemented, requires a lot of digging to learn how to use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UpCloud The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified A control panel function would be useful The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Google VPC is a difficult concept to grasp and recommendations for configuring it would be helpful in educating the users to make the right choice while using the product in configuring networking for their cloud deployments. Also, the user interface can be intuitively designed so as to suggest templates to perform common configurations with regard to VPC. Incentivized Vinaya Kumar Bendi Engineering Lead Read full review	UpCloud No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Google Google VPC and networking infrastructure is very matured and is built later after Amazon VPC. It made sure to address all the limitations faced by amazon VPC. Google Virtual private cloud is across regions while amazon VPC covers only one region but multiple zones. Google VPC is a global resource while AWS is a regional resource. Incentivized Yash Trivedi Software Engineer III Read full review	UpCloud We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Google Using Google Cloud VPC cloud storage has saved us on infra budget and per TB storage cost Using MySQL databases on Google Cloud VPC has improved the performance and cost of operation and maintenance Better pricing model has improvement on operational cost and increased revenue Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UpCloud The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
