""Firebase: the best development tool""
What do you like best about Firebase?

I am an Android Developer. First of all, I would like you to tell that Firebase is a platform backed by google that provides functionalities and helps in the backend development of your Android, iOS, and web. For beginners, Firebase is very easy to use and in just a few clicks you can connect your Application to Firebase. Firebase analytics tool helps your app develop, grow and make it a quality app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Although Firebase is a wonderful tool for application development and easy to use. But Firebase provides limited functionalities to free users and is not suitable for large user databases because it will be very costly.

Firebase has a limited range of security standards and rules, and it focuses on data sharing across platforms and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good platform to start your engagement actions."
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase is very easy to integrate with your service or mobile app. You can easily set it up with just a few steps and start using the engagement tools within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

All you have using the engagement tools is just the basics to start your operations. The segmentation options are a little limited as well as the analytics data they offer you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Firebase review"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provide to send push notifications for mobile applications And crash handling, crash reports for user,phone version, application version and most important property is app analytics information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Maybe the left menu is a little complicated because there are many menus.

The distribution section might be more useful. Defining version application is very difficult.

Within the framework of these processes, Firebase provides a solution through the management panel without needing an extra server and any code writing on the server-side. Features that can be used for this purpose; Real-time Database, Notification, and Remote Config. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free, useful but complex product with little ergonomics"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase is free, quick to set up and very complete. In particular, the push notification features are useful to send push notifications without having to maintain its own infrastructure, and the crash data, inherited from the venerable Crashlytics are very valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

The user interface is complicated, not very pretty and not very ergonomic.

It is very difficult to extract useful information from analytics.

The steps to make Crashlytics work are complicated and don't always work (because of the symbolization data that must be uploaded correctly).

The framework used to have compatibility problems with every Xcode update and with Swift Package Manager.

Firebase has a huge number of dependencies, so it clutters the project with a lot of Google or other third-party frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive User Interface and Tremendous Customer support"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Well as the title suggests the User Interface is very intuitive and easy to operate. Apart from it all my app databases are hosted on firebase along with some of my website's databases and they are all present in just one place and are really easy to manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

The price structure is a little bit too much for start up teams, as we all know there are a huge number of read and writes whenever a person open up an app or for our inhouse backhand structure. I would have liked if the pricing was a little bit more lenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best service platform from google !"
What do you like best about Firebase?

I have used firebase as a backend service for my web/mobile application. some of the best things that firebase provides are as follows:-

Authentication:- Multiple ways for Authentication (email verification, phone number, social media)

Hosting:- Free hosting even for a free plan with firebase domain

Database:- Nosql Database, which is flexible and fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

I am using Firebase service from India, so I think paid plans (Blaze) are costly, and documentation for firebase is not clear. I guess documentation is the only thing the firebase team can work upon—especially documentation about cloud functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Firebase is a reliable for real time analytics"
What do you like best about Firebase?

I have used Firebase in my previous as well as this company. It supports app deployment and analytics hosting, which helps in having a realtime data dashboard in place for all important events. We can also see week-on-week retention, app opens, user engagement and create custom filters for data visualization too. Firebase is really simple, easy to use and cost effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Cross-platform attribution is a miss, apart from that it's a reliable tool for real time databases and console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ultimate Mobile Application DB"
What do you like best about Firebase?

As I am a developer, I use Firebase regularly. It's a very and most useful database for me and also for all mobile application developers. Certain things are very useful for all developers. One of them I like most is the real-time database. It has a function for the user functionality. It is very handy, also has database storage to store user data, and the last thing is the hosting option where developers can host their app easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

As it is a regular usable database, so google should do some upgrades regularly. As a developer, I found some errors about the database like as the sha1, sha2, etc.; these are very useful for the play console. But it is very difficult to find some time. Google should make is easy to use and more user frinedly. This will make it more comfortable for the users. And also, there are some problems like as it has a free version, so sometimes google deletes some data without any notifications, which is really very horrible. I think google should fix these problems as soon ass possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"App Analytics, Database, Cloud Messaging etc all under one roof - Firebase!"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase provides many services like Authentication, App Analytics, Cloud Messaging, Realtime Database, all under one roof. The documentations are properly available over the Internet. Hence, it's straightforward to import the SDK -> see the documentations -> write some codes, and walla you're good to integrate the services on your application. Trust me; the process is totally hassle-free! All the services are free under the "Sparks" plan has so many features; trust me you will ever need to upgrade to the plan. I highly recommend Firebase for the ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Honestly, there's hardly anything I dislike about Firebase. I have been using Firebase for the last two years and have integrated it into a lot of real-time projects; never did I regret my choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
