We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very stable solution.""I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users.""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.""The product is easy to use.""Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications.""Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine.""The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward.""It's stable."

More Google Firebase Pros →

"The most valuable features of SAP S4HANA on AWS are that it's simplified and the analytical capabilities are good.""The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is the latency and speed. When we use the various typical relation database, the performance was visible.""SAP S4HANA's most valuable features include backup, security, storage, infrastructure, and enabling AI.""The system has the capacity to manage all these departments in a single box and they're all integrated.""It is indeed a stable solution, but it depends on how you architecture the component in AWS. If the component has the right architecture and is properly provisioned and placed, then it will be a stable platform.""The most valuable feature of SAP S4HANA on AWS is that when developed on a new structured system it can be configured.""SAP has an auto-scaling feature, but Azure doesn't.""Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS. Furthermore, the solution offers a plethora of modules that have proven to be valuable, and there are regular updates available."

Cons
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price.""Google Cloud Functions (which is still a BETA version) needs to have more control over the uploaded functions. That is, it needs more options for controlling the functions itself.""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 UI for the realtime database could be simplified.""The solution's notification system could be much better.""Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database.""I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five.""The product is not that cheap."

More Google Firebase Cons →

"The solution's overall enterprise support could be improved.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.""S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors.""The documentation isn't clear enough.""Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers.""Doesn't have a common development environment.""The drawback of this tool versus an on-site tool is that you've got to upgrade the tool. The software is upgraded as it gets upgraded and you've got to be ready to change whatever processes and do whatever training you need to do.""The product's implementation phase can be very complex for customers."

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 →

  • "Licensing fees are on an annual basis."
  • "The licensing of the product is reasonable but the cost of the hardware is exorbitant."
  • "We pay a monthly fee for the use of SAP S4HANA on AWS for approximately five years. That's the time of the contract."
  • "The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee."
  • "SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product."
  • "I would rate the pricing as a two and a half out of five."
  • "Compared to its competitors, SAP S4HANA on AWS is a costly solution."
  • "It's expensive. It would be good if AWS and Azure could reduce the computing cost for people who move to the public cloud."
