Firebase database even though it is easy to use and easy to setup. If you look at the documentation you'll see even for paid version the usage caps at a certain point. So it is not suitable for corporate products.

We've used Mixpanel a number of times to implement site analytics. It's incredibly easy to setup and get running. A great way to breakdown your analytics data from your site. Great dashboards, great reporting, and it's relatively cost efficient.

MixPanel separates event tracking and people tracking. This makes reporting difficult at times. Also, there is no "clean and easy" dashboard look as KISS Metrics offers.
