We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS, Google Firebase, and Rackspace Cloud [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself."
"Some of the introduced one-year and three-year reservations helped us reduce costs early on. With time, we learned how to minimize our at REST capacity, allowing us to scale up and scale down in near seconds."
"The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately."
"The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex."
"This solution offers a very detailed dashboard that has some metrics, such as performance and budget."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the S3."
"This solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Amazon AWS is."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"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 product is easy to use."
"It's stable."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"Image backup is a valuable feature. Even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"Integration with in-house applications could be simplified."
"It should be more secure and have more integrations."
"I think the price can be improved."
"When you are first starting, the initial setup can be a bit complex, but it gets easier after that."
"It would be better if there was a way to see which components were still on. We have some situations where I forget that some components are turned on. We forget some components are on, and we only see that these components are on when we see the bill at the end of the month. It would also be better if AWS had specialized firewalls or integrations with leading products. For example, a specialized firewall with content filtering. We were looking for some firewall tools, and we saw that AWS doesn't have any specialized firewall tools in its services portfolio. So, we are looking for other tools like FortKnox, Forcepoint, and Check Point because we didn't find the solutions in AWS services."
"An easier way to determine estimated costs quickly would be helpful."
"It has the technical support features, but they need to be improved. It has lots of users, but they need to be managed accordingly."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"We had some compatibility issues with Elixir."
"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."
"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."
"I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"The solution needs to offer capabilities to work offline. Like Firestore, we should be able to do insertion, updating, and deletion offline."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
