Pros & Cons
Cyso Cloud
Pros
- The standard OpenStack API means Terraform, Ansible and the OpenStack CLI work without proprietary tooling, which lowers lock-in.
- Dutch-owned and hosted in European data centres in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, which supports GDPR and sovereignty requirements.
- ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications suit Dutch healthcare buyers.
- Hourly billing with clear EUR rates per resource, free ingress and free IPv6.
- Gardener-based managed Kubernetes with a 99.9% SLA and an optional highly available control plane.
Cons
- Only two regions, both in Europe, with no global footprint or CDN.
- Managed databases are still in beta and support PostgreSQL only, and there is no serverless offering.
- Object storage egress costs 0.055 EUR per GB, the same as the storage rate.
- Almost no independent user reviews, as G2 lists none.
Google Cloud
Pros
- Very broad managed catalogue that spans VMs, GKE, serverless, several database engines, a CDN and Cloud Armor, so most infrastructure can come from one vendor.
- Global footprint, which Wikipedia put at 40 regions and 121 zones in early 2024, helps teams deploy close to users and across zones.
- A 300 USD, 90-day credit plus a permanent Always Free tier, including a small VM, lets developers prototype at no cost.
- Capterra reviewers credit its scalability with helping them adapt quickly to changing client demand.
Cons
- Capterra reviewers repeatedly say the billing is complex, hard to audit and sometimes produces unexpected charges.
- Technical support requires a paid plan priced as a percentage of spend, and Premium starts at 15,000 USD a month.
- Reviewers report a steep learning curve and inconsistent documentation.
- The free e2-micro VM is limited to three US regions, so other regions incur standard charges.
