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."It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"It's stable."
"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."
"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"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."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
"The product must support more complex queries."
"Firebase's real-time information isn't technically real-time. It takes a while to upload user activity into the app. It's not as fast as Datadog, the other solution we use."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"We use Firebase for media processing and we are growing more. As we grow, the pricing goes high and it's high compared to competitors. The solution is expensive."
"Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"Its cost can be improved."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
