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.

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 connection between Firebase and the integrated development environments, especially when using Android Studio, is crucial as it saves time."
"The solution is stable."
"The main part that I like about Firebase is that it provides command line tools."
"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."
"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."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"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 user interface is very good and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."
"It is very flexible...It is a stable solution."
"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."
"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The way we can make changes in new fields, or make new rules with our IT department, has been very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere."
 

Cons

"We use Firebase for media processing and we are growing more. As we grow, the pricing goes high and it's high compared to competitors. The solution is expensive."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"As we are a small team, we have only utilized some features, however, all those features have been very useful, and there is no problem."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"The only thing that I won't do on Firebase is the hosting side of things for a progressive web app because it feels like you actually still need to download the app first before you can actually get into the functionality of the app."
"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."
"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"Analytics could be much better."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to achieve better integration with AWS so that it becomes more interconnected with the SAP system."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Google Firebase is very good."
"Google Firebase is an expensive solution."
"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
"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."
"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"The solution's price is based on the number of consumers."
"It is an expensive tool."
"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."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS is reasonable for what we use it for."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The price of SAP Business One on AWS could be lower, it is expensive."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"Pricing for me, it's not very interesting. I think it's priced at a normal level."
"The product is moderately priced."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
