We performed a comparison between Google Firebase and VMware Cloud Foundation 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."What I like most about Google Firebase is that it's one of the easier options to host a website or app quickly."
"The user interface is very good and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase have been Analytics, Remote Config, and Crashlytics. Additionally, a lot of companies have used push notifications which is important. There is little maintenance required."
"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."
"The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."
"The stability is good."
"You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge."
"VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to set up new environments. You get hosts in a pool, which you can build into a new cluster."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the disaster recovery software."
"The DSR feature is valuable because we have internal clustering, and these features are good for us."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems."
"I like that VMware Cloud Foundation reduces both the installation and setup time from a matter of weeks to hours."
"The solution needs to offer capabilities to work offline. Like Firestore, we should be able to do insertion, updating, and deletion offline."
"Integrations and extensions offered by the product are quite limited presently."
"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 see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release."
"The product must support more complex queries."
"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's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"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 deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy."
"They should provide integration with Azure VMware Solution."
"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."
"VMware Cloud Foundation could be more flexible in terms of supporting other integration and components."
"Cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals."
"The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
