Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Salesforce saved about 40% to 50% of my time by allowing me to manage and maintain client data and account progress.
In terms of productivity, my ROI is definitely at an eight or nine out of a scale of one to ten.
If the community doesn't have the answers, then I contact the Google Firebase team directly.
I do not currently find any other competitors that match its offering.
I would rate the technical support of Google an eight out of ten.
It can handle all tiers of the market effectively.
Google also has some other cloud services, but when we compare Google Firebase, it is not as scalable.
It is either from my side or from Google Firebase side if it is getting delayed or not.
Salesforce's scalability was not a problem.
Salesforce Platform is absolutely scalable for us.
We are using it globally in thirty countries.
In our company, we have prototypes on Google Firebase and productions on AWS Cloud.
They have mostly put the improvements for those, so it is making it smoother now than in the early years.
On occasion, we had to log in and out frequently, open tickets with our IT team for account reconfiguration, or request permissions to access the system.
We have never had any problems with it.
It is definitely very stable.
Since Google Firebase is a NoSQL platform, areas for improvement include enhancing query functionalities to be more equivalent to SQL, like MS SQL.
Automation testing with mobile devices could be improved, especially in regression testing to ensure that new feature launches do not affect other features.
When it goes to iOS applications, there should be a much more straightforward, smoother way.
Salesforce could improve by adding more capabilities to the dashboard, such as additional fields for more filters and more control over what I would like to see.
Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events.
Using AI extensively to make the platform easier to use would also be beneficial.
They could have implemented credits based on usage so that users would be able to easily calculate the pricing and provide it to customers.
Google Firebase offers a reasonable pricing structure.
Salesforce Platform may be on the expensive side.
It is on the expensive side, unfortunately.
It helps me understand user behavior more effectively with Google Analytics.
What I appreciate most about Google Firebase is the speed, accuracy, and security it offers.
It allows for pre-launch testing without publishing it on Google Play right away.
This integration allows us to manage customers from all aspects in one place, providing a clear view.
The biggest benefit is seamless usage in terms of an easy-to-use interface and GUI that makes it easy to interact with the entire platform and generate reports effortlessly.
Salesforce offers control over the opportunities to see where we are and gives me high-level dashboards on each opportunity stage.
