We performed a comparison between DigitalOcean, Google Firebase, and Microsoft Azure 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 user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"I like Kubernetes integration."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"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."
"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."
"If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything."
"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."
"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are for management, such as dashboards."
"There are many useful features. We use web apps, so instead of starting a web server, we just have machines running some web services. This was helpful for us in terms of the scalability of the application. We also use Active Directory for authentication and some services for the data backup. It is a very good and reliable solution. It was easy to implement this solution. It fits very well into our plans and covers our needs to provide infrastructure in the cloud. The portal to configure new resources is very easy, and it is very easy to allocate new resources."
"Microsoft Azure has proven to be beneficial for our organization due to its quick deployment capabilities. Setting up virtual machines or any required infrastructure is fast."
"It is so huge and so powerful. The best thing is the possibilities of things that you can actually do with it. If you do it right, you can work or host your stuff a lot cheaper than traditionally. Its security is good, and it also reduces the strain on internal IT."
"The tool's most valuable features are SQL servers and Managed Instance databases."
"The technical support has been good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the limitless possibilities of the infrastructure."
"I have not had a problem with the stability. It is reliable."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"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 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 an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"The product must support more complex queries."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"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."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"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."
"From a security perspective, there is always something that can be improved as we serve our customers."
"I would like to see this solution support integration."
"We need more customization and support for doing so."
"The pricing needs to be a bit lower. It's an expensive solution right now."
"The solution is less mature than AWS."
"One area where Microsoft Azure could improve is in offering a broader range of pre-built plugins and tools compared to AWS."
"There should be more language options for the Azure Functions apps. It supports programming languages, but there are only a few options. It could have more programming languages."
"The solution could improve by providing a better user interface and more organized workflows."
