We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"The main feature for us is that the tools are all in one place and that you don't need to bother with the backend system and the infrastructure." "I found the flexibility of handling and dealing with database through EDL to be very useful." "The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast." "The user interface is very good and easy to navigate." "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." "If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything." "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 offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center." "The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature." "This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications." "Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches." "The most valuable feature is the monitoring." "What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything." "The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors." "The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance." |
Cons | |
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price." "Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers." "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." "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." "I would like to have a facility for testing possible scenarios by writing dummy data and then doing different queries." "The solution needs to offer capabilities to work offline. Like Firestore, we should be able to do insertion, updating, and deletion offline." "I would like to see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release." | "With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex." "Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple." "Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike." "The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors." "This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud." "The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use." "They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers." "The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"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." | "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." "The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage." "The subscription cost is too high." "We pay the subscription cost." "The pricing is the best." |
