We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and Microsoft Azure 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."It's stable."
"It is a very stable solution."
"We're able to use the solution in several processes."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase have been Analytics, Remote Config, and Crashlytics. Additionally, a lot of companies have used push notifications which is important. There is little maintenance required."
"Azure is stable. I don't have any problems with it."
"Great features at a good price."
"In terms of managing and configuring infrastructures, Azure is fairly good."
"Azure is very user friendly. I was able to create some database servers really fast. The user interface is intuitive."
"The technical support has been good."
"We have found the most valuable feature to be the pricing calculator."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the limitless possibilities of the infrastructure."
"It's very easy to build a new service and get it into production."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."
"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 could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure is not always a user-friendly solution. There are too many people who develop this solution. For the end-users, sometimes it's not really fun to use or simple to use. It could be improved."
"Onboarding customers is a challenge. Sometimes our customers don't know how to deal with the cloud environment. Maybe the customers are more comfortable with the old-fashioned on-premise environment."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"Potential improvements to the price calculator tool"
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful. However, I don't think that is the goal of Microsoft Azure. They want the solution to be secure cloud solutions with cloud applications. This is their main goal at the moment."
"The scalability could improve."
