What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase has become everyone's starter tool for every Project, It providers all the any features from A to Z. It has dedicated interface for every project which is very easy to use.

One can use all the features of Firebase just by integrating a JSON file which also can be downloaded from firebase UI.

I have been using firebase from the day I started developing and it's been 5 years i started using it.

It has features like Authentications, Cloud Functions, Realtime database, Firestore, Google Analytics and many more.

Firebase is famous for its remarkable ease of implementation, making it an ideal choice for developers of all levels, from beginners to experienced professionals.

Also Customer Support is good, they send out regular emails if they think there's an issue with the product in which we integrated firebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Nothing as of know, firebase is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

Firebase solves several key problems in app development, such as managing backend infrastructure, real-time data syncing, user authentication, and performance monitoring. It offers easy-to-integrate services like Firestore, Firebase Authentication, and Cloud Messaging, which save developers time by handling complex tasks automatically. Firebase’s serverless approach scales automatically with your app, and its cross-platform support ensures consistency across iOS, Android, and web. This simplifies development, reduces the need for backend management, and accelerates time-to-market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase is one of the best BaaS service I would say for beginners. Firebase comes with a free tier which helps in testing your idea and the best thing is everything you will need for your backend you will find here. From different types of authentication(email, OAuth, SMS) to different types of database, Crash Handling, etc all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

As your project will scale the cost of managing your backend increases significantly and migrating from firebase is not so easy which makes you spend more on your backend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Firebase for testing out my ideas like mobile app and website to a smaller group of audience. Using Firebase is very benificial for me as I can focus more on the business while worring less on the backend services of my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Firebase with some of my mobile apps, and its actually great for smaller scale application as it has free tier & can be used for free to some extent. It has out of the box support for user auth, session. It also works great with IOT devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase's Realtime Database and Firestore allow you to synchronize data between clients in real-time, which is particularly useful for chat apps, live feeds, and collaborative features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Firebase Realtime Database, while powerful for real-time apps, can be challenging to manage with complex data structures. Although Firestore improves this, the Realtime Database can still be cumbersome for highly relational data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firebase solving and how is that benefiting you?

Firebase offers a serverless backend, with managed services like databases, cloud functions, and hosting. This eliminates the need to set up physical servers, manage infrastructure, or worry about scaling as your app grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
