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

"I would recommend Google Firebase for its cost-effectiveness, availability, and ease of deployment."
"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."
"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."
"It's stable."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase are its database, noSQL database, file storage, authentication, and notifications."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."
"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."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
 

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."
"Their technical support needs to be enhanced with more support for customers."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"The notifications must be made a little bit better."
"The solution needs to offer capabilities to work offline. Like Firestore, we should be able to do insertion, updating, and deletion offline."
"The exploration of the functions within Firebase could be improved."
"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 have a facility for testing possible scenarios by writing dummy data and then doing different queries."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of Google Firebase."
"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."
"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"The tool is affordable."
"The product is free."
"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."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The price of Google Firebase is very good."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"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."
"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
