We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and Linode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase have been Analytics, Remote Config, and Crashlytics. Additionally, a lot of companies have used push notifications which is important. There is little maintenance required."
"This solution supports our real time database. We also use it for AB testing and for its Google Cloud functions. We make use of Crashlytics and reporting on details."
"Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution."
"What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The number one thing we like about Linode isn't necessarily a service, it's their support. We've found their support to be absolutely fantastic. They've been so outstanding with their support. Every single time we call them and we ask for advice or help, they go above and beyond and it's really made us appreciate what they do."
"There's always room for improvement in every product, and the major improvement that's needed in Google Firebase is its simplification, particularly for unsavvy users or non-technical users. If you're not tech-savvy, it would be very difficult for you to use the functions of the solution and understand its security rules. If you want even non-technical people to find it easy to use Google Firebase, it should be simplified because the difference between screen-derived management and code-derived management isn't complex, so simplification wouldn't be an issue."
"The notifications must be made a little bit better."
"The product must support more complex queries."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"The product must improve its security."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"Its cost can be improved."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
