I would recommend Google Firebase instead of Microsoft Azure, simply for the array of features that it has to offer. In particular, the Firebase library grants you access to a shared data structure. If any changes need to be made to that data, all changes are synchronized automatically with the Firebase cloud and with other clients in a matter of milliseconds. Firebase apps can also be written entirely with client-side code. In addition, it provides updates in real-time, and interoperates well with existing services. What’s more is it scales automatically, and has very strong and reliable data security. Data accessibility is also important for me, and with Google Firebase, data is stored as JSON; Each piece of data has a unique URL which can be used in Firebase’s client libraries as well as a REST endpoint. Moreover, when entered into a browser, these URLs can be used to view the data, and updates can be watched in real time. The fact that it is fast and responsive and easy to set up are two big wins for me.


In contrast to Google Firebase, Microsoft Azure does not offer enough of the right features I need. However, Azure is still a solid product. For example, some key features Azure offers are that you can use .net or open-source tools, it is startup friendly, and it is also favored for its ability to scale well and easily. While Azure has a lot to offer, I found that the user interface was confusing and I prefer to work with a UI that’s organized and intuitive.


Conclusion:


Google Firebase has all the features I am looking for in a product. For me, it was about meeting my business needs and simply put, Microsoft Azure was missing some of the more important product features I consider essential.
