## Parse-Server Reviews
  ### 1. A great solution for a terrible problem

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Javier M. | Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2017

**What do you like best about Parse-Server?**

I like the fact the community rose and kept this service-turned-software alive and going, and it remains in active development after the debacle of the shutdown of the Parse services. It provides with a wonderful alternative for Backend use, simplifying a lot of complex tasks.

**What do you dislike about Parse-Server?**

Setup can be a bit fidgety, and the server is fairly opinionated in its way of doing things, though of course that's part of what makes it a delight to use, if your tastes match the server's. 

**Recommendations to others considering Parse-Server:**

Parse server is great, however, because of it's troubled past, it might make sense to check the landscape for some other OSS project, and start from scratch there, unless the Parse Server matches your needs uniquely. 

**What problems is Parse-Server solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Turn-key-ish mobile backend, push notifications, authentication. With the parse server you can hit the ground running pretty much.
