We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and SAP S4HANA on AWS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Allows us to create functions without any infrastructure apart from the Google App Engine."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything."
"There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down."
"The Fiori interface is the most valuable feature. It's one of the highlights that they offer. The in-memory of S4 is very fast."
"Reporting transparency and user-friendliness are the key benefit of deploying SAP S4HANA on AWS. Furthermore, the solution offers a plethora of modules that have proven to be valuable, and there are regular updates available."
"Provides good performance and regular release of new features."
"The solution adds great value to any organization."
"SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody."
"The tool's installation is easy. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable."
"I rate the support from Google Firebase a four out of five."
"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."
"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"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 platform's bandwidth is quite expensive. Its price could be better."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"Integrations and extensions offered by the product are quite limited presently."
"The pricing is a little bit high."
"Not just S4 but for SAP in general, the price is a little high because they have implemented a new licensing scheme on a number of connections. The price being too expensive is some of the feedback we get from our customers."
"Over the last three to four years, I haven't encountered significant issues with SAP S/4HANA. While occasional system bugs are normal in software, the overall experience has been positive. As a business partner, it stands out as a reliable ERP solution."
"I would like for them to have more integration with virtualization platforms."
"The solution's overall enterprise support could be improved."
"More availability zones will help customers choose AWS. I would like to see features that provide easier onboarding for ERP solutions like SAP. SAP has already partnered with S/4HANA on AWS for hosting its public cloud as well. More educational videos for customers to choose this cloud path would be great to have. That is, providing more documentation and marketing material would be better."
"CPU architecture is an area where the solution currently has some issues. Improvement in CPU architecture could improve the performance side and the adherence to the parameters set by SAP."
"The product could use more capabilities in the areas of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but these improvements are already on the way."
