Simple to get started with and offers integration features in multiple programming languages

The product provides integration features in multiple languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Golang, and all other languages. Google Firebase has documentation, which might seem a bit confusing, but one with decent knowledge can easily explore and get started with Firebase quickly. Before jumping into any cloud infrastructure, the tool should analyze how much it would cost to run the database. Google Firebase provides a certain number of reads and writes per day, which is approximately 40,000 reads and writes. If there are more than 200 to 300 active users per day, there will be plenty of reads and writes to the database. In such a case, one can't use Google Firebase and has to upgrade to Spark, which is where it is based on usage. The tool is fairly simple to get started with. Utilize all the features can get very complicated. One must be a pretty good developer who has a lot of experience to be able to utilize the best features. It gets really complicated over time. The basic functionality and basic usage are easy to use and easy to get started. There are plenty of deprecated versions, and frequently upgrading them causes inconvenience. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX

Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development."

"We used it to create credentials for DART for our Android and Flutter applications."

"Firebase has been helpful in providing analytics and crash insights."

"We use the platform to deploy our software projects."

"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."

"Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution."

"I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users."

"The product is easy to use."

More Google Firebase pros

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."

"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."

"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."

"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"You need to have some experience with deployment."

"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."

"The only thing that I won't do on Firebase is the hosting side of things for a progressive web app because it feels like you actually still need to download the app first before you can actually get into the functionality of the app."

"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."

"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."

"The product's user interface for developers needs improvement."

"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."

"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."

More Google Firebase cons

"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

"There is room for improvement for stability."

"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."

"It could be more affordable."

"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."

"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."

"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive tool."

"The price of Google Firebase is very good."

"I rate the price of Google Firebase a four out of five."

"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."

"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."

"The pricing plans indicate it can get very expensive."

"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."

"The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service."

More Google Firebase pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"The subscription cost is too high."

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."
