We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The most beautiful feature of Google Firebase is that it gives you a lot of functionalities out of the box, without you having to develop or having to complete a solution. For example, identity management is integrated, and security is out of the box, particularly security for the user and the ability of each user to see his data. I also like that Google Firebase has a really good performance and is comparable to MongoDB. It's on the same level, and sometimes, it's on an even higher level than MongoDB. Other functions that Google Firebase has that I find valuable include information dissemination, mail automation, and SMS, available out of the box. Another valuable feature of the solution is that it allows you to develop some functionalities on the server side, so you can write JavaScript functions on the server side and use those functions quite easily. Google Firebase gives you almost a full backend environment out of the box without you having to do any deployments or a lot of administration because all administration is given out of the box."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"It's stable."
"The Realtime Database feature is the most important for us since we are able to see changes in the database the moment they are happening."
"Google Firebase is one I like a lot because it gives us a little bit more power and accessibility when it comes to publishing apps a lot quicker and for the needs that we have."
"I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"I would like to see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release."
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."
"One of the challenges I was facing when I was using it was the library called Google Dialogflow which allows you to connect your chatbot with an intent. So there is so much adding when you are trying to connect it with your service because you have to do a lot of repetition writing a new intent, putting it step by set so it is good to escape. I believe it should be flexible and dedicate the intents based on the relating and to write a lesser code when doing that."
"The product is not that cheap."
"I would like to have a facility for testing possible scenarios by writing dummy data and then doing different queries."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"The product must support more complex queries."
"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
