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."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 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."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development."
"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."
"Firebase offers encryption out of the box."
"Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution."
"The product is easy to use."
"If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"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"
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
"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."
"I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"The platform's bandwidth is quite expensive. Its price could be better."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"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."
