Leverage rapid prototype development for application building
The pricing structure needs improvement since it uses cloud billing. We do not know how the pricing is calculated as it is all on the cloud. The concept that the more you use, the more you have to pay could have been much better. They could have implemented credits based on usage so that users would be able to easily calculate the pricing and provide it to customers. I am the co-founder and CTO of the company called Aiwox (A I W O O X). We have numerous projects for mobile application development, and we have shifted from Google Firebase to Supabase because there is a fixed price for Supabase. Supabase is built on top of AWS, and it provides a very good pricing model. Some of the credits are free, and once you reach a certain limit, you know the charges. The second improvement area is related to SQL. They provide the real-time database, which is very good, and they have gradually started including PostgreSQL, which is a relational database, but it is not production-ready yet. I may be incorrect; perhaps they have released something new, but PostgreSQL database real-time database remains a challenge with Google Firebase.

Excellent support but it is a costly solution
The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

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 the solution stems from the fact that its storage can be easily used in our mobile applications."
"The real-time database feature is the most valuable, allowing real-time feedback without needing to constantly poll the database."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase are its database, noSQL database, file storage, authentication, and notifications."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"The platform is scalable."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The product is not that cheap."
"Since Google Firebase is a NoSQL platform, areas for improvement include enhancing query functionalities to be more equivalent to SQL, like MS SQL."
"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."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"The solution could improve by providing an improved SDK tool and automatic indexing for databases."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"The product's user interface for developers needs improvement."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"The more the number of reads and writes, the more one gets charged."
"The tool is affordable."
"My company makes very minimal payments toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"It is not easy to calculate the cost per copy, use or if the load rose dramatically we did not know how that would impact the final price."
"The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service."
"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."
