Crash insights empower user analytics and highlight potential for session replay integration
We use Firebase for understanding crashes and tracking analytics about our users, which supports marketing, development, and distribution purposes Firebase has been helpful in providing analytics and crash insights. It still needs more detail for larger scale applications. Crashlytics is the…

Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"We use the platform to deploy our software projects."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"The main feature for us is that the tools are all in one place and that you don't need to bother with the backend system and the infrastructure."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"The access to Firestore is very easy."
"The main part that I like about Firebase is that it provides command line tools."
"I would recommend Google Firebase for its cost-effectiveness, availability, and ease of deployment."
"SAP Business One on AWS has good documentation and has many services in the cloud."
"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
"It is well-established and caters to our user base efficiently."
"The top-level view and easy navigation to individual transaction levels are beautifully done in SAP Business One."
"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."
 

Cons

"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"I would like to have a facility for testing possible scenarios by writing dummy data and then doing different queries."
"You need to have some experience with deployment."
"Automation testing with mobile devices could be improved, especially in regression testing to ensure that new feature launches do not affect other features."
"What I hate most about Google Firebase is that it has many different versions and releases new ones frequently."
"There needs to be an easy way to duplicate a database."
"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."
"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."
"Analytics could be much better."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by having more customization and more user-friendly automation."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"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

"The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"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’s pricing needs improvement."
"Google Firebase is an expensive solution."
"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing plans indicate it can get very expensive."
"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 tool's cost is reasonable."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"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)."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
