Google App Engine Reviews

The type of platform my company generally uses for a project that needs no maintenance of any infrastructure for our customers and needs only Lambda functions is Google App Engine.

The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and the depth of Google App Engine's services, which are some of the reasons why I would like to give it a high rating when compared to AWS.

The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe. My company faces a lot of problems with the support team, especially when Google's technical team is not able to help us immediately when we are stuck with something related to the tool. The support of the product is an area where improvements are required.

Google App Engine is a good product, and its support needs to be improved as it is a new technology that few people know about. There is a need to spread some awareness about the product while also ensuring that some online forums related to the product need to be updated with a lot of documentation related to the tool.

I have been using Google App Engine for six years. My company has a partnership with Google.

I have not had any issues with the stability of the product.

The scalability of the product is fine.

Around 1,500 customers of my company use the product.

I rate the solution's technical support in India a five out of ten.

Neutral

In comparison to other solutions offering similar functionalities, I can say that I have not found any issues with Google App Engine. Google App Engine is at par with the best solutions in the market.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it.

Initially, our company invested time in understanding the entire product. My company went ahead with the PoC phase based on the briefing we received from Google's team, after which we went ahead with the production part.

The solution can be deployed in fifteen days, though Google had claimed that the process might take a month.

A lot of people, including developers and Google administrators, were involved in the product's development process.

The use case where the product has significantly improved the development was attached to one of the scenarios where one of our company's customers wanted a tool to deal with continuous integration and deployments in the infrastructure. In the aforementioned scenario, my company used Google App Engine to deploy an infrastructure for our customer, and the product helped solve a lot of problems, reducing the time required to complete the project by half.

Google App Engine has supported the need for scalable applications for our company's customers since whenever the tool was used, it used to get integrated with a lot of new technologies, like Chef, Puppet, and with some of the APIs, after which my company was able to deploy the product on an on-premises model for our customer.

The feature of Google App Engine that I found to be the most essential for workflows is the high availability and scalability.

The serverless aspect of Google App Engine has benefited our company's customers since it has reduced the time required for the implementation of their applications. The tool also has been able to solve conflicts between developers and the people in operations. The tool offers the convenience of time and ease of implementation, which has improved and solved a lot of problems. The bug-fixing process in the tool is very fast compared to the manual thing.

The product does not require any maintenance.

The advantages of the product revolve around the fact that it offers a lot of depth, ease of management, scalability, and is fast. Developing and hosting applications is possible with Google App Engine. Google App Engine is more beneficial for those who deal in e-commerce.

I guess Google App Engine is a very good tool for infrastructures or when you need some machines that work twenty-four hours, seven days a week. Google App Engine is like a FaaS tool for its users, so users don't need to maintain any infrastructure, thereby drastically reducing their costs. Google App Engine is a very user-friendly, accessible, highly scalable product that allows users to opt for a pay-as-you-go model.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We have an industrial maintenance program application, and we log maintenance data.

We are using its latest version. When there is a new upgrade, we just upgrade. In terms of deployment, the development suite is on laptops, but the service is on the cloud.

It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful. 

I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops.

I have been using it for two and a half years.

It is stable. There are no issues.

It is scalable.

We haven't used their support, but the documentation is very good. We also use their Stack Overflow service, which is quite okay.

Its initial setup is very complex.

I'm quite happy with it. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

This solution is a model for us right now, and I'm using it with my classmates. We are resellers. I'm currently a Masters student and teaching assistant. 

The most valuable feature in the solution is basically the security where you're required to use the AIP to initialize the accessibility process. It means that unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications. Mostly it is based on the workplace environment. Testing deployments is also a valuable feature as it enables you to test your app before you deploy on cloud.

Everything so far has gone smoothly, I've never had a struggle with the solution. 

In terms of product improvement, when it comes to billing, I think they should include something that would give the client or user an indication of what's happening so they can be aware of how pricing is being managed. 

I've been using this solution for the past few months. 

It's a stable solution. 

I think it's a scalable solution. because basically you can add the amount of storage you want. When it comes to bugs, mostly there are no errors. It has happened, but rarely although I do think a little bit of improvement could be made in that area. 

Initial installation is very straightforward, it takes no more than 45 minutes. 

This solution is cheaper and more efficient compared to other similar solutions with cloud vendors. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution for business purposes for our clients. We develop software.

The solution allows you to create apps right on Google.

It would be helpful if they could improve the user interface. It could use some modifications.

There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution.

The solution is mostly stable.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day.

We handled the deployment ourselves. There were four of us, including a back-end developer, a front-end developer, and an HR manager.

The pricing is okay. It's not too expensive.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We are using this application for learning purposes.

It helps with my work and my customers.

The WhatApp feature is the most valuable.

The functional is good.

I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five.

It is stable.

We have one user on the app (me). I can download the app on my phone.

I plan to use the app more in the future.

The technical support is good enough.

I have not used another solution previous to this.

The initial setup is simple and easy.

The deployment and implementation did not take a long time.

The deployment was done in-house. I deployed it. I maintain it now.

I would like to have more free application with it. Some of the applications, I am paying more for them. I think that they must be free.

I did not consider another solution.

I have found it useful in my work and life.

This solution is very efficient and easy to use. It is easily integrated with the needs of each user without the having to go to a third party.

Each application we choose meets the needs of the organization. The applications are very interactive and their prices are very accessible to each user.

Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices.

Data consumption of the device could be improved.

Free Tier is basic if you simply want to test your development or if are not sure whether the product you are trying to launch will be successful. Free tier is unlimited in time. Other platforms used to offer a one year Free Tier. This unlimited time feature lets you work without worrying about money. If you need to pay, you know you are getting traffic.

Being that Free Tier is getting better on other platforms. I think Google App Engine Free Tier will keep on beating its rivals.

It lets you forget about everything not related to development, while allowing great load variations.

The programming interface is not easy, but I can't talk deeply about it, as I have used a framework which hid the API.

I can't detail anything about GAE API, as I didn't use it. Nevertheless, I could have a look at it. I could especially look at what is related to its DataStore database, in terms of its keys or its ancestors.

It seems to be a totally different approach, compared to traditional SQL databases. The Web2py framework hides this complexity.

I searched for some information about how to use GAE API, both on official
docs, forums or books. The conclusion I took after these searches was this
API was not easy to use. And this reality was one of the reason why I
started searching for a framework that could hide GAE API. I have to
recognize this impression could be caused because of my previous work with
SQL related API -note that GAE is build upon a NoSQL database.

I have used Google App Engine for three months.

I have not had any stability issues.

I have not had any scalability issues.

I did not need to use support.

I didn’t have a previous solution. This was my first option, due to it being the only one with a real free tier.

The setup was really straightforward thanks to the framework. It does not seem to be difficult.

It has really competitive pricing when talking about low usage tiers, but prices rise quicker than other options.

I checked documentation about other solutions:

• PaaS (Heroku)
• IaaS (Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud)
