"The most outstanding aspect of DigitalOcean is its user interface and ease of use. Compared to more complex solutions, such as AWS, DigitalOcean's platform is highly intuitive and user-friendly."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean."
"What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."
"The solution is 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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication."
"I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"Other solutions are proving the monitoring feature, like AWS having GuardDuty and SAP having services for logs and monitoring. DigitalOcean doesn’t have any other benefits."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"I would like to see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release."
"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"The cold start-up of the cloud function needs to speed up. For me personally, I'm not experienced in anything there, however, I've just read online it's a problem."
"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."
"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."
"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."
