"Great experience using firebase"
5/5
What do you like best about Firebase?

Realtime functionalities and NoSQL databases are the best for building scalable and modern web applications. On the other hand, authorization and authentication are good enough to develop any mobile or web application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

It is slightly expensive and has limited flexibility. Due to its limited storage and minimum concurrent active users in the free plan, it is not suited for managing large volumes of traffic or data. Instead, paid plans must be purchased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One-stop solution to cover most service needs for your mobile application"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Firebase?

One integration with Firebase gives a ton of features to your mobile product:

1) crashes - detect and fix issues early, must have unless you are willing to migrate to other services targeted at crashes specifically

2) top-level stats - analytics yet limited still provide you with a great overview of the application usage

3) remote config- enable time limited features when necessary, disable features that do not perform well, segment experience based on data.

4) hosting and database -you may not need huge complicated backend at least to get started or even when you have it there is still a ton of use for ready-made firebase bits and pieces.

5) functions - another backend alternative. Some small services can or sometimes should rather be a small function deployed to firebase (or any lambda alternative)

6) a/b tests - making data-drive decision is the key for every product.

7) user attribution - again limited, yet you can get top level data split at

7) push notifications - start communicating with your users fast, promote updates, draw attention to important features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

1) analytics can be greatly delayed and access to event property segmentation is limited at best, assortment of charts is limited to basic quantity/funnels. Again complex computation in event props is not possible. Custom formulas or monetary calculations are not possible

2) a/b tests - incredible on their own, however, delayed analytics hugely limits your experiment flexibility when you want a reaction to early actions.1) analytics can be greatly delayed and access to event property segmentation is limited at best

3) push notifications - again easy entry, yet extremely limited segmentation and automation which is hard to compare to communication first services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing features and easy for beginners"
5/5
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase has a lot of features that provide very good integration with the application. It is easy to implement and it is quick and efficient. It has a great dashboard with various statistics with details about daily users, active users, API calls, and a lot more. Also, firebase helps in keeping track the app crashes and notifications management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

It is sometimes buggy and it crashes. I feel It is not that secure. It shares a lot of data with 3rd party integrations and sometimes I feel that sensitive data might also have been shared. It is not that suitable for large data sets because, for large data sets, we have to provide a fee. I feel the free tier is almost the same as the paid version. So, its free tier itself is filled with features that every beginner needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing in firebase to dislike. Everything is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"East to use at the beginning but nightmare to scale up."
3/5
What do you like best about Firebase?

The documentation is very beginniner friendly. The cost is free for certain limit so easy to setup personal projects. Multiple services are available which makes more easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Firebase database even though it is easy to use and easy to setup. If you look at the documentation you'll see even for paid version the usage caps at a certain point. So it is not suitable for corporate products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best managed database I came across"
5/5
What do you like best about Firebase?

The best thing I liked about firebase was the offline feature, it's a cloud-based database but you can still use it in offline mode. This makes your application highly available for your users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

In my use case, I haven't come across any such thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
