Firebase Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Firebase is how incredibly quickly it allows you to move from an initial idea to a production-ready product. Features like authentication, database, storage, hosting, analytics, and push notifications are all seamlessly integrated, requiring almost no backend setup. This not only saves a significant amount of development time but also eliminates much of the hassle associated with managing infrastructure. And also it's easy to Implement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find most frustrating about Firebase is how easily it turns into a black box as your application grows. When your project scales, debugging complicated problems across Functions, Firestore rules, unexpected billing increases, and event-driven processes becomes increasingly chaotic. It’s often only after encountering these challenges that you realize how deeply you’re locked into the Firebase ecosystem, with little flexibility to manage performance or control costs.

Many complex features and modules can be built in a second, without much effort. The implementation of our prompt'd feature can be completed without major drawbacks. It is really helpful, even for the crucial features of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are often a few issues, such as hydration and generative errors. These can sometimes be difficult to fix, even for Gemini AI when using prompts. While it's possible to resolve these problems manually with the editor or by contacting customer support, it would be much better if the system could identify and resolve these issues internally. This way, users wouldn't need to turn to other AI tools to find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Firebase because of how effortlessly it allowed me to set up my web app. The setup process was intuitive and straightforward, with Firebase guiding me step by step, making it especially approachable for a beginner like myself. The ease of use and accessibility of the database feature stood out significantly; it enabled seamless integration across different devices over the cloud. This was crucial for revamping the often breaking system at my workplace. Additionally, Firebase impressed me with its capability to simplify code requirements. I managed to implement a login screen with minimal effort due to the concise commands and code lines that the platform offers. Furthermore, using JavaScript within Firebase was clear and comprehensible, which made my development process smooth. I also appreciate that I can leverage it at no cost initially, a significant factor that contributes to its attractiveness. The potential to scale for bigger projects, especially where a massive amount of data storage is needed, enhances its appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like it to be a little bit easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tackles some of the biggest hurdles, like getting started with DB setup and capabilities installation. Makes it much easier to prototype a new idea without the hassle of setting everything up manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like most Google products, navigation can be a pain. I have several different accounts, getting auto switched to a different account can be very aggravating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a product manager, I primarily used Firebase to monitor detailed information about how users interact with our app and to understand their behavior. I also relied on it to track user acquisition, retention, and conversions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firebase provides a wide range of features, making it a highly powerful tool. Setting it up is fast and straightforward, and it supports cross-platform development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Firebase console is a bit tricky to navigate around the first time you see it, but other than that I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firebase it's a robust Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) and app development platform, especially for teams building cross-platform mobile and web applications.

The platform offers a unified suite of managed services such as authentication, real-time and document databases (Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore), cloud storage, serverless functions, and integrated analytics.

Integration with Google Cloud and support for emerging AI features, including Gemini API and machine learning SDKs, are handled efficiently, making it straightforward to add advanced capabilities to apps.

The SDKs are well-documented and available for multiple languages and frameworks (Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, Dart, Flutter, Unity, C++), which streamlines development across iOS, Android, and web environments.

The platform’s hosting, monitoring, and deployment tools work consistently, and the ability to automate common development tasks using pre-packaged, open-source bundles is a valuable addition.

The integration with popular tools and the open-source ecosystem further enhances extensibility and workflow integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform’s learning curve can be significant for new users, particularly when configuring advanced features or integrating multiple Firebase products into complex architectures. Navigating the console and understanding the nuances between similar products (such as Cloud Firestore vs. Realtime Database) requires careful attention. Pricing can also become unpredictable as usage scales, especially with real-time data and cloud functions. Some integrations with external or legacy systems may require additional custom development.

I like that Firebase provides almost everything in one place — database, auth, hosting, and push notifications—so I don't have to juggle different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the pricing can get tricky as your app grows, it's not super clear at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it easy to use and setup also beginner and budget friendly also you can use it for free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its navigation is too classic also when you hits its free usage limit your database will stop working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fully integrated with other Google Services and Access is simple. It allows us to monitor the quantity and type of users, different app version and device types and models with detailed analysis and modern dashboards. Very easy to implement with our Android app coding and release workflow. We use it for all the app deploys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could have even better dashboards with more real-time monitoring and alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
