Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication.""I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users.""It is a very stable solution.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It has security rules to control database read/write operations in real-time.""If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything.""The Realtime Database feature is the most important for us since we are able to see changes in the database the moment they are happening.""Its initial setup process is easy."

More Google Firebase Pros →

"It has significantly streamlined our operations.""One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches.""The interface is easy to manage.""This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable.""There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective.""My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase.""Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs.""Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."

Cons
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified.""Firebase's real-time information isn't technically real-time. It takes a while to upload user activity into the app. It's not as fast as Datadog, the other solution we use.""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.""The solution's pricing could be better.""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.""Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers.""The initial setup is not exactly straightforward.""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."

More Google Firebase Cons →

"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion.""The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary.""Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine.""Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation.""The product must provide more details of the errors.""They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things.""The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "It is not easy to calculate the cost per copy, use or if the load rose dramatically we did not know how that would impact the final price."
  • "The monthly cost is based on writing data and queries to the database."
  • "The pricing component is a bit confusing when it comes to what exactly you'll pay for, but I wouldn't say it's expensive."
  • "The moment you go into volumes, then you work on a pay-per-volume basis."
  • "The price of Google Firebase is very good."
  • "We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
  • "Pricing for Google Firebase is not so expensive, and if you're a start-up with a small amount of data, it will be quite cheap, and there's even a free tier that you can use. If you're doing a pilot with a reasonable amount of data, for example, just a few gigabytes, it's still on the free tier. If you increase the amount of data, Google Firebase pricing is still reasonable."
  • More Google Firebase Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
  • "The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
  • "The solution could be less expensive."
  • "The price is expensive compared to the competition."
  • "The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
  • "Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
  • "The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
  • "The product itself is relatively expensive."
