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…
Rajnikant Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements
SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

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 useful for managing users and user authentication."
"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"The solution is stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"The main part that I like about Firebase is that it provides command line tools."
"It's stable."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."
"The product is complicated for beginners to understand."
"The notifications must be made a little bit better."
"The cold start-up of the cloud function needs to speed up. For me personally, I'm not experienced in anything there, however, I've just read online it's a problem."
"If I were to review the service, it would be about paid functionalities, like implementing notifications, is easy, but debugging is not."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"They could add a session replay to better understand how a crash or bug happened."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."
 

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."
"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
"I rate the price of Google Firebase a four out of five."
"The solution's price is based on the number of consumers."
"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."
"Google Firebase’s pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
