"Effortless Prototyping and Seamless DB Setup"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Tackles some of the biggest hurdles, like getting started with DB setup and capabilities installation. Makes it much easier to prototype a new idea without the hassle of setting everything up manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Like most Google products, navigation can be a pain. I have several different accounts, getting auto switched to a different account can be very aggravating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"App development platform for web and mobile"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Firebase it's a robust Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) and app development platform, especially for teams building cross-platform mobile and web applications.

The platform offers a unified suite of managed services such as authentication, real-time and document databases (Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore), cloud storage, serverless functions, and integrated analytics.

Integration with Google Cloud and support for emerging AI features, including Gemini API and machine learning SDKs, are handled efficiently, making it straightforward to add advanced capabilities to apps.

The SDKs are well-documented and available for multiple languages and frameworks (Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, Dart, Flutter, Unity, C++), which streamlines development across iOS, Android, and web environments.

The platform’s hosting, monitoring, and deployment tools work consistently, and the ability to automate common development tasks using pre-packaged, open-source bundles is a valuable addition.

The integration with popular tools and the open-source ecosystem further enhances extensibility and workflow integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

The platform’s learning curve can be significant for new users, particularly when configuring advanced features or integrating multiple Firebase products into complex architectures. Navigating the console and understanding the nuances between similar products (such as Cloud Firestore vs. Realtime Database) requires careful attention. Pricing can also become unpredictable as usage scales, especially with real-time data and cloud functions. Some integrations with external or legacy systems may require additional custom development.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

Sometimes the pricing can get tricky as your app grows, it's not super clear at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Firebase helps us release our Android apps and track activities and issues"
What do you like best about Firebase?

Fully integrated with other Google Services and Access is simple. It allows us to monitor the quantity and type of users, different app version and device types and models with detailed analysis and modern dashboards.

We could have even better dashboards with more real-time monitoring and alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best BaaS for Beginners"
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.
