"A Good Software product for at least college projects"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Firebase?

As a student, I have used Firebase a lot in my projects. Setting up your backend server & connecting it with the database takes more time & you also need to deal with security. Firebase Firestore makes it easy to use a ready db instance in just a few seconds. It also offers various login/sign-in options for your application. So I would recommend Firebase to anyone working on a side project or looking to fulfill business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firebase?

The one thing I dislike about Firebase is its documentation. Its documentation is not that easy to understand. I think they should provide more easy & understandable tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I believe Firebase is making it easy for students and entrepreneurs to access backend & hosting services. They don't need to worry about database, security or even no need to dig into server-side complex programming; start using as much as you need. Firebase free plan is a boon for students like me.

"One of the Best database and storage system ever!!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Firebase?

I have been using firebase for the last few months for website authentications, I must point it out the best place for auth and storing of users is FIREBASE!!!!!. It is easy to use, not to mention its availability of the most easy and descriptive documentation is a great plus. It is available for both server side applications as well as client side which makes its verification the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firebase should include a free backend hosting like the one currently which hosts static websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before knowing about Firebase, whenever I needed to host a website or wanted a user management system, I had to create a separate DB model and then go through all the hectic procedures only yo register the user but after Firebase all this procedure has been gone with the easy integration of Firebase in only 10-15 lines of codes.

"Best free to use product for quality check and analytics for apps"

It gives the flexibility to use crashlytics, FCM push notifications, deep links, and other features which are important from the apps' point of view. It is easy to set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No doubt this product is amazing but as it is widely spread it is a jack of all trades when it comes to sending targeted user journey push notification it's very hard to achieve on Firebase as compared to clever tap and moengage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
