Shravan Revanna - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to get started with and offers integration features in multiple programming languages
The product provides integration features in multiple languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Golang, and all other languages. Google Firebase has documentation, which might seem a bit confusing, but one with decent knowledge can easily explore and get started with Firebase quickly. Before jumping into any cloud infrastructure, the tool should analyze how much it would cost to run the database. Google Firebase provides a certain number of reads and writes per day, which is approximately 40,000 reads and writes. If there are more than 200 to 300 active users per day, there will be plenty of reads and writes to the database. In such a case, one can't use Google Firebase and has to upgrade to Spark, which is where it is based on usage. The tool is fairly simple to get started with. Utilize all the features can get very complicated. One must be a pretty good developer who has a lot of experience to be able to utilize the best features. It gets really complicated over time. The basic functionality and basic usage are easy to use and easy to get started. There are plenty of deprecated versions, and frequently upgrading them causes inconvenience. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Provides easy navigation to individual transaction levels and good stability
The warehouse management system requires further improvement. Right now, there is no built-in application for using barcodes or QR codes by the warehouse or operational teams. Customers often rely on third-party add-ons for such features. There should be a mobile-based handheld application, especially for the warehouse team or the operational team, to use barcode-based or QR-based scanning. In additional features, it would be great if the mobile application supported barcode and QR code usage. If this feature is available, it would be very useful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is useful for managing users and user authentication."
"It is a completely reliable product."
"The authentication features have made things a lot easier for our organization. About five years ago, developers had to create authentication systems from scratch. Now, services like Google Firebase provide secure and accurate authentication solutions. We can implement authentication quickly by following their documentation."
"Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development."
"Google Firebase supports all types of authentication."
"Firebase has been helpful in providing analytics and crash insights."
"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"Google Firebase is one I like a lot because it gives us a little bit more power and accessibility when it comes to publishing apps a lot quicker and for the needs that we have."
"The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."
"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."
"I believe the solution is very stable."
"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business One on AWS are the CRM and the sales module."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
 

Cons

"The customization options for password resetting are limited. The process requires additional steps and coding to make it user-friendly. While Google Firebase works well for the login page, password resetting and user verification redirect users to a separate interface, which is not very user-friendly."
"Google Firebase lacks a SQL database."
"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."
"You need to have some experience with deployment."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"Since Google Firebase is a NoSQL platform, areas for improvement include enhancing query functionalities to be more equivalent to SQL, like MS SQL."
"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."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."
"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."
"I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"The technical support from SAP is very restricted to its knowledge base. It does not add much beyond what is already available in the knowledge base."
"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision. We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern."
"The browser access needs to improve, as everybody in the industry knows how limited it is."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"Google Firebase is an expensive solution."
"It is an expensive tool."
"I rate the price of Google Firebase a four out of five."
"The tool is affordable."
"The more the number of reads and writes, the more one gets charged."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
