"I like Kubernetes integration."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"The solution is very stable."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"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 product is easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"The user interface is very good and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase are its database, noSQL database, file storage, authentication, and notifications."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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"
"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."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"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."
"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"The product is not that cheap."
"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."
"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."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
