About

Compute Engine is Google's infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform for organizations to create and run cloud-based virtual machines. Computing infrastructure in predefined or custom machine sizes to accelerate your cloud transformation. General purpose (E2, N1, N2, N2D) machines provide a good balance of price and performance. Compute optimized (C2) machines offer high-end vCPU performance for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) machines offer the highest memory and are great for in-memory databases. Accelerator optimized (A2) machines are based on the A100 GPU, for very demanding applications. Integrate Compute with other Google Cloud services such as AI/ML and data analytics. Make reservations to help ensure your applications have the capacity they need as they scale. Save money just for running Compute with sustained-use discounts, and achieve greater savings when you use committed-use discounts.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The best thing is it's stability and functionality. Great performance. Easy to integrate with other Google products.
  • Google Compute Engine is great for its reliability and scalability. It’s easy to set up and manage, with plenty of options for customizing virtual machines. The performance is solid, and it integrates well with other Google Cloud services. Plus, the pay-as-you-go pricing is pretty flexible. However, the learning curve can be steep if you're new to cloud computing, and costs can add up quickly if not monitored closely.
  • My experience with Google Compute Engine has been outstanding. The most impressive aspect is its scalability. This feature allows for the adjustment of resources to meet demand, ensuring not only top-notch performance but also cost-effectiveness. The seamless integration with other Google services enhances productivity, especially beneficial for those already in the Google ecosystem. Its reliability is exceptional, with minimal disruptions, which is essential for continuous operations. The robust security measures instill confidence by providing comprehensive protection against various online threats. Additionally, Google's commitment to using renewable energy sources in their data centers is commendable and aligns perfectly with modern environmental concerns.
  • Preemptible instances, which are inexpensive, momentary virtual machines ideal for batch processing and fault-tolerant applications, are provided by Google Compute Engine. For some applications, this might provide considerable cost reductions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like being able to have QuickBooks in the Cloud as opposed to QBO. My clients are very happy with it. The customer service has been amazing with any issues we have had.
  • I greatly appreciate the ease of setup and configuration. Very easy to start of a new server and assign users / virtual desktops. The customer service has been very helpful - being prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.
  • We are currently running 6 VM Servers on V2 and are happy with the performance and easy setup of the servers. Since they have been set up there is almost no management time needed, just running the Microsoft updates. We love how Office 365 and Malwarebytes are already installed and so we just need the Office 365 license to make it work.
  • They have app or browser access that still gives me access to my local drives. Their support responds pretty quickly.
  • V2 Cloud is easy to set up and has a user-friendly interface. I was looking for a remote/virtual desktop solution and the options in the market are limited. V2 Cloud was the only option that perfectly met my needs.

Cons

  • It is a little challenging to set up, but even so, the customer service is very good at assisting.
  • A bit on the expensive side. I would prefer if virtual desktops were available in the $15-$20 per user range.
  • Really cannot think of any cons, everything just works.
  • Clients have to use expensive 365 licenses in the environment. When clients have issues with some things like 365 working correctly there's no advanced help for those items.
  • Copying and pasting are sometimes a hassle. It should be easier!
