**What do you like best about PlayFab?**

It's very video game focused and really covers everything from holding player data, logins, cloud script functions, running server builds of the game... It aims to be the only online service you need.

**What do you dislike about PlayFab?**

The one thing it lacks is a more traditional database.

**What problems is PlayFab solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using it to simplify user acquisition and storing basic profile data. The SDK makes it only a few lines of code for us to have these features.
