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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pros →

Cons
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir.""Integrations and extensions offered by the product are quite limited presently.""The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases.""Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well.""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.""Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers.""Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database.""There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."

More Google Firebase Cons →

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better.""The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily.""The solution requires tighter integration capabilities.""Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud.""Technical support could be more responsive.""The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow.""The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward.""It could be more affordable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "They have a free tier that will cover most projects. For more intensive use, you pay as you use it, but the price is very cheap."
  • "It is not easy to calculate the cost per copy, use or if the load rose dramatically we did not know how that would impact the final price."
  • "The monthly cost is based on writing data and queries to the database."
  • "The pricing component is a bit confusing when it comes to what exactly you'll pay for, but I wouldn't say it's expensive."
  • "The moment you go into volumes, then you work on a pay-per-volume basis."
  • "The price of Google Firebase is very good."
  • "We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
  • "Pricing for Google Firebase is not so expensive, and if you're a start-up with a small amount of data, it will be quite cheap, and there's even a free tier that you can use. If you're doing a pilot with a reasonable amount of data, for example, just a few gigabytes, it's still on the free tier. If you increase the amount of data, Google Firebase pricing is still reasonable."
  • More Google Firebase Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
