Cons
"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.""The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases.""The notifications must be made a little bit better.""The product is not that cheap.""The platform's bandwidth is quite expensive. Its price could be better.""Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database.""I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings.""There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."

More Google Firebase Cons →

"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""The pricing can be better.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product."

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 →

  • "I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
  • "There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
  • "The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
  • "The price is high."
