Great free option for database management

|Firebird
Cost. Firebird is very cost effective for the job it does. There are also new versions and feature enhancements coming out as needed. Firebird also has a small footprint. It's efficient with resource useage

Portable, open source database implementation

|Firebird
The fact that the entire database is portable as a single file made migrating content from one system to another easy and fool-proof.

Easy to develop and deploy

|Firebird
I used the Firebird Database platform for desktop based applications. I primarily coded using Delphi, where it had hooks into Interbase (a different flavor of Firebird). It was really easy to deploy applications without the use of the Borland Database Engine (BDE). I'm sure it's advanced since then so other IDEs can interface with the platform via API. Performance was fast and coding using Stored Procedures was similar to other database platforms.
