We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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."Its initial setup process is easy."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"Firebase offers encryption out of the box."
"Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development."
"The product is easy to use."
"What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most beautiful feature of Google Firebase is that it gives you a lot of functionalities out of the box, without you having to develop or having to complete a solution. For example, identity management is integrated, and security is out of the box, particularly security for the user and the ability of each user to see his data. I also like that Google Firebase has a really good performance and is comparable to MongoDB. It's on the same level, and sometimes, it's on an even higher level than MongoDB. Other functions that Google Firebase has that I find valuable include information dissemination, mail automation, and SMS, available out of the box. Another valuable feature of the solution is that it allows you to develop some functionalities on the server side, so you can write JavaScript functions on the server side and use those functions quite easily. Google Firebase gives you almost a full backend environment out of the box without you having to do any deployments or a lot of administration because all administration is given out of the box."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"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."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"The solution is easy to use."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"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."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"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 product is not that cheap."
"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."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"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."
"I would like to see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release."
"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."
