We performed a comparison between Google Cloud and Google Firebase 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."For us, the solution is very easy to use. We have the right skillsets for it."
"The product scales well."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution can scale."
"You can just connect and start using it through a browser within a few minutes."
"Simple to use on the web, and makes things easy for a software developer."
"The solution scales well."
"It's robust, and it has a wide reach in terms of office applications including storage."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"It has security rules to control database read/write operations in real-time."
"It's stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I found the flexibility of handling and dealing with database through EDL to be very useful."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications."
"The product must provide AI features."
"The product could always be a little bit less expensive."
"Google Cloud would benefit from more detailed practical hands-on training especially in your mother tongue, not just English."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"I feel that the Google product is incomplete with regard to internal communications. It is an area that needs some improvement."
"Sometimes the Google documents are difficult to learn from. Amazon has better support material."
"The solution could improve by being less expensive."
"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."
"Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers."
"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."
"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."
"The notifications must be made a little bit better."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."
"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."
