Not ready for production level apps

|Parse
Not a whole lot. It's great if you're doing a small side project or running an experiment it's great, but otherwise it's not reliable enough to run a production application.

Great push service for building mobile apps

|Parse
I love the push notification provided by Parse. I have developed some Android apps and also got involved in their iOS app development. Before Parse, each mobile platform has their own push service like GCM on Google Android, APNS for iOS, MPNS for WinPhone etc. . These services perform excellently on their field but also make a headache for cross platforms code management and architecture design for small teams. Parse provides a nice mechanism to uniform the push service for all these platforms. Simple and elegant.

Parse used as a backend for a quick iOS app

|Parse
The best feature of Parse it the ability to do things quickly with little code in the app itself. There are a couple lines to set it up the the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, and then it is very simple to use in the rest of the app. My app only uses reads, not writes, from the Parse cloud, and I just want to pull all the data from a table in the database. I can do that by creating a PFQuery in one line, then by calling findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock on that query to fetch the data as JSON asynchronously. It really is that easy. Parse has many other ways to request, write, and temporarily cache data, but it works great for me thus far as just an api to fetch data from the web and store in Core Data.
