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."I like Kubernetes integration."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The solution is very stable."
"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 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."
"I love Firebase's notifications, crash analytics, and bug tracking. It gives you detailed reporting about app usage and users."
"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."
"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."
"This solution supports our real time database. We also use it for AB testing and for its Google Cloud functions. We make use of Crashlytics and reporting on details."
"Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"Firebase offers encryption out of the box."
"It's stable."
"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"
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"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 would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"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."
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."
"The product is not that cheap."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
