Google Firebase Realtime Database is very fast when it comes to reading and writing data making it ideal for apps that require real time data updates such as instant messaging apps. The other upside is that it can automatically scale to match the increased traffic that the app generates. Realtime Database also comes with standard google tutorials to help developers get started and this is really cool. In addition, Realtime Database comes with automatic offline capabilities and it will automatically sync once the device has network. This greatly reduces the amount of work required to build an offline app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One downside I encountered is that since it is a No-SQL database, the security configurations require getting used to. In addition, data storage needs proper planning before implementing as recovering this data for reporting might be a bit complex depending on the kind of app you are building Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the most user friendly easy to use database functionality that allows me to download (export) classic .json file for any part of my database.
I can store it as a backup, edit, and import edited file to firebase directly on browser.
Also it is important I got notifications from Firebase about proper safety rules for my database and can fix if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not experience any downsides for now and completely happy with functionality I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firebase is easy to use, enables tons of features, is backed by Google and is constantly innovating. It's lightning fast and is the backbone of our product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are certain things that can be difficult with the realtime database via the SDK, such as shortening decimal numbers, or building relationships without duplicating data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Realtime Firebase Server is available on customer computers. It uses JSON as a server that supports multiple applications. It supports many platforms such as Android, IOS and the Internet. Scalability and reliability are assured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Firebase Realtime Server does not offer free cloud software. The search function is not included in the server. There are few questions as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very simple. This JSON like database is perfect for building a lot of applications. I've developed a webinar service (with real time chat and elements on the screen) and Firebase Realtime Database was perfect for provide the functionalities I need to it.
Another great thing I like is that I don't need to worry about scalability, the database is stable, even in scenarios with thousands of simultaneous accesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I want to improve in Firebase Realtime Database is the interface in the Firebase Console. It doesn't offer a search field to search for data inside the database. If I want to search for something I need to export the database in a JSON file and them search on my computer. This is important because sometimes problems happens and we need to check inside the database to see what is going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that this is a no-sql realtime database, that is 1) extremely fast and 2) scalable without loosing performance. I like that you can create your own indexes too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The admin UI is a bit minimal in it's features, but works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
