We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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)."Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"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."
"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."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"Firebase offers encryption out of the box."
"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."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"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 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."
"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"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."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
