We performed a comparison between DigitalOcean 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."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."
"I like Kubernetes integration."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"The solution is very stable."
"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 most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication."
"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."
"What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."
"It's stable."
"If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"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"
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"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 product must support more complex queries."
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."
"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."
"Google Firebase could improve the ability to create our own reports, other than what's available on the dashboard. For example, if we want to customize the report or export the data, this is a large task."
"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 have a facility for testing possible scenarios by writing dummy data and then doing different queries."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
