"Atrocious"
0/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

It's fast and there are relatively few outages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

Firestore Security Rules are poorly architected, counterintuitive, difficult to debug and poorly documented.

Reference type fields are useless for us, requiring duplicate data everywhere.

Data import/export requires convoluted steps.

The client library syntax changed, making half of the examples on the web obsolete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Database supporting the Backend"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

The flexibility without losing availability and within a short time of response. Between the amount of single indexes and the ability to have multi field index, the data can be queried anyway we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

We have to imagine the perfect model upfront for the queries we want. Updating all the data, deleting a big collection, or creating new indexes for big collections take a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Firestore Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

Google Cloud Firestore is a robust and reliable NoSQL database well-suited for many applications. Its real-time synchronization and scaling capabilities make it a strong choice for developers looking to build modern, data-driven apps. It is easy to store, sync, and query data for your mobile, web, and server-side applications using Firestore. Its real-time synchronization makes it ideal for building collaborative apps or implementing real-time data visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

Nothing in particular. Although Google Cloud Firestore is a newer product, it already offers many features and integrations with other Google Cloud services. However, it may not yet have the same level of feature maturity as some of its more established competitors. That being said, Google Cloud Firestore is continuously being updated and improved, so its feature set is likely to expand and improve over ti Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Horizontal Scaling and Powerful Query Features"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

Database Scaling is very good because of the serverless solutions and gets the real-time database to compare to other competitors, Provide offline support and real-time data updated on-device iOS and Android. our data replica is stored in multi-country, so no need to worry about data, and GCF offers ACID transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

it's expensive while scaling the products compare to other, for full-text search we need to use third-party solutions and are not able to take backup in real-time DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The obvious choice when making a JAMstack application."
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

Easy integration with firebase auth, and cloud functions (which have firestore triggers). It also has a client for pretty much any programming language you are going to be using (except rust)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

Firebase rules could be better, lacks full text search. You have to use Algolia or Elastic (I prefer Algolia). Algolia is super easy to set up and has a very generous free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes creating a NoSQL database as simple as possible"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Firestore?

1. They have simplified a lot of things by using SDKs. Their SDKs saves a lot time.

2. Documentation is very easy to understand and the code snippets really helps.

3. Scalability in terms of read operations is excellent.

4. Adding SDKs to android apps is straight forward.

5. Integrates with Google Cloud Functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Firestore?

Currently, Cloud Firestore doesn't have a native flutter SDK which would have been good. And there are also some limitaitons on number of writes which if removed would help scale in terms of write operations also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
