Overall Satisfaction with Google Compute Engine

We are using GCE to prototype new projects at scale for our customers. Unlike on premise infrastructure we can create servers at a moments notice and limited to just the timespan required. This saves us having to procure servers from our partnered procurement organisations which typically has a much longer lead time and hugely improves the overall time it takes to start a project.
  • Uptime
  • Automated backups
  • Strong security posture
  • Feature parity with other cloud providers
  • Total cost transparency
  • Free training
  • Faster time to market
  • Increased training requirements
  • Proof of concepts
Much of the cloud vendors in the market provide the same core functionality however some differ when it gets to the more technical or nuanced services, or advanced features within a service. Some of these take additional training but have been found to be easy to adopt to in the Google Cloud Platform
