Very easy to start with, robust, performant, has ample documentations, works well with Angular along with Angularfire wrapper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't do complex queries. So we used is along with a Mongo DB to support advanced querying, we used Firebase only for the reactive part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick accessibility and better learning curve comparing other web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The authorization application rules could have been much better versatile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely the best part of using firestore is the use of reactive data, that your app can find out at any time when any record is added, edited or deleted in your database is what makes it really different and comes to help many developers to create better applications and innovate the traditional way of doing things.

The free fee they give you per day is also too useful, if you are simply developing an app and that application is not going to consume many resources, but you want to implement firestore in your project, it is really useful to use the Blaze plan

The documentation is a beautiful experience to read, it is very well explained if you are making web applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are certain libraries to implement firestore in different programming Frameworks, it would be good if the firestore developers themselves had their own SDK to implement firestore.

Generally in these external libraries we pass the keys of our database and that generates some insecurity because I do not know if they are trustworthy or not these external libraries that are usually used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up Auth was easy. Getting a collection and documents was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limitations on queries. I tried to create a simple chat app where users can subscribe to any number of channels. I had a collection for messages that had a attribute for channel. If I had a user that had seven different channels, I had to make seven different queries to get the messages for that channel. I was using useEffect in React and on a couple of occasions quickly consumed the 50K reads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use as a NoSQL store coupled with realtime capabilities that's highly scalable and managed. The mental model of how the database works maps very closely to Google Cloud Datastore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the client libraries are a bit rough around the edges which is getting a lot better. I found a bug and reported it for what I think should be a pretty common use case, but that was when it was still in beta and not GA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up authentication! (God send) Also firing up a NoSql DB quickly, implementation is pretty straight forward and you can write cloud functions all in JS to make updates if you want to keep it off the front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pretty new and just coming out of beta, so there is a lack of resources at the moment. Front End Masters just recently did a great workshop on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deploying React applications literally could not be easier. Authentication is easy to implement, and the database is super easy to use. Real-time database is super fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of a single draw back. I love the speed and simplicity. There is a learning curve, but that applies to anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upsides of using Google Firestore was the simplicity. It was so easy to use, and when I struggled the first time, customer service helped me immediately. Wonderful service and I’d recommend to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s not much that I dislike about Google Firestore. One thing that I found was tricky was creating indexes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Google Cloud Firestore database because it is a time-saving cloud-based service that allows me to access my information on multiple devices in a seamless way. I travel a lot for work so it's super convenient that you are able to access the app without a wifi connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything I dislike about this product so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about the firestore is that it still maintains the real-time database aspects of having real-time updates and data, while being able to be a bit more flexible with your information. For example, now you can have arrays inside of your node. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about firestore is that it’s a bit overkill, for example to grab a whole collection inside of a custom promise function you have to set a callback when previously if you grabbed all the records from the real-time database that was it. It retrieved everything you specified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
