I've had an amazing experience using Firebase. From the ease of integration with my apps to the array of powerful features available, Firebase has exceeded my expectations in every way. The real-time database, authentication, cloud functions, and hosting services have been particularly useful in simplifying and enhancing the development process. Additionally, the comprehensive documentation and excellent customer support have made using Firebase a seamless and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Firebase to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient backend solution for their apps.

Pros

I adore Firebase for a variety of reasons. Its simplicity of usage is one of the things I appreciate most. Building and managing a range of applications, whether they are for the web or mobile, is incredibly easy with Firebase. In particular, its real-time database, cloud features, and hosting capabilities are amazing and simplify development. Additionally, Firebase offers great analytics tools that enable me to watch app performance, understand user behavior, and make data-driven decisions to enhance my apps. Overall, Firebase is a fantastic app development platform that is simple to use, has a wide variety of functionality, and is a great option for both seasoned developers and newbies.

Cons

I have thoroughly enjoyed using Firebase and have not encountered any major issues or concerns. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the documentation is clear and helpful.

Firebase was a great first platform, but for my usecase I ended up outgrowing it pretty quickly. It's great if you're building for native mobile.

Pros

Extremely easy-to-use APIs, and out-of-the-box authentication and offline-database features to make bootstrapping an app super easy.

Cons

Extreme vendor lock-in, heavily mobile focused with very few features suitable for web and hybrid applications and preventatively expensive scaling

This was good because the client then didn't want to pay for an SDK tracking.
However in terms of usability and scaling for larger, business campaigns, this is not recommended.

If you're a hobbyist delving into apps and SDKs for fun, this is a great platform.

Pros

It's free and a good introduction to SDK, environments and requirements.
It also is great if you're on the google stack, as it easily imports into other ad buying platforms like google ads, which is great.

Has some integrations with networks, which also is great since it's also free for use

Cons

Highly limited support - don't expect to get any.
If you're on the free plan, very limited functionality. You can't even get CSV user reports. Everything is on and limited by the UI. This apparently changes if you're on paid, but the free experience not the best.

No integration to other competitors like Facebook,etc

Alternatives Considered

AppsFlyer, Adjust and Kochava

I like how easy it is to integrate applications with IOS, Android and websites. Testing across platforms is simple and the preview option makes a lot difference

Pros

amazing tools, incredibly fast online interface, allowing us to address difficulties head on, pretty nice UI, monitoring capabilities that are also quite slick, and it's probably the finest out there for straightforward push notifications without complexity and easy g-suite integration

Cons

File upload and hosting possibilities are relatively limited; dealing with client or internal assets can become a bit cumbersome.

Firebase, the best

Reviewed on 09/05/2023

Pros

From the authentication system, which is super complete and secure, to the nosql database, Firebase is a complete product that has served me for years without ever letting me down. It's easy to integrate with any tool and meets almost every need.

Cons

Because it is a classic and traditional tool, sometimes features that exist in other products take a while to be incorporated, but when that happens it works very well. The tool's design isn't the most attractive either, but it's robust and functional.

Firebase is the best tool for rapidly building and deploying applications. Overall I have great experience with Firebase.

Pros

Firebase is an amazing Web Backend solution. Firebase provides a real-time database that allows the synchronization of data across all users in real time. Also, Firebase provides built-in authentication, so it becomes easier for me to manage user authentication and authorization in my web applications. Also, Firebase offers various analytics tools that help me to gain insights into users behavior and app performance.

Cons

Firebase is paid service so as your app grows or needs more resources, the cost can become very high.

Great for mobile apps - especially since its free.

Reviewed on 08/06/2023

Pros

I like how you can integrate both OS systems for mobile apps and see data in one report/dashboard. Android is easier but iOS wasn't that hard either. I like how it integrates natively to all google products and you can set up conversion tracking with ease.

Cons

It's not easy to deploy and easy to use for a newcomer. Takes time to get to know how to use it and you'll probably need tech team help to integrate.

Cons

Data access code is very coupled to Firebase implementation. This will make it hard if you want to migrate off Firebase one day.

I simply love this. I have been using this for 8 years now and this hasn't failed me so far.

Pros

Firebase owned by google was one of the main reasons that I thought to try it out. This works really well for real time scenarios where you want to store and sync data across all the clients in real time. Firebase is really easy to use and even new users can get things very quickly without any learning curve. This integrates with many other google products like google analytics.

Cons

Even though this functions well for online real time data syncing, offline functionality has issues.

The Best Connectivity and authication tool for Developers

Reviewed on 13/01/2023

Pros

Firebase includes every tool a developer requires to succeed. Firebase doesn't discriminate whether you are an iOS, Android, or web developer; the Firebase tool can be integrated,We used Firebase primarily for our mobile app, which was built using Android Studios. Using the JSON key provided to sync and authenticate our app with Firebase, we used Firebase to easily authenticate our users, and we used Firebase to integrate social media signup methods on our app. So our users get to sign up for our app via their desired choice of social media.I feel Firebase is too big to be discussed and seen from one person's or one company's perspective, so I'll take my perspective from the features and functionalities we have used.Our in-app chat database was saved, built, and synchronised on Firebase, giving us instant access to and reach of our database at all times.Finally, analytics for your app are always available to check Firebase usage reports and metrics.

Cons

Make the system and integration easier for newbies.

It was the best program to creat apps but it was a little hard for beginners with little experience.

Pros

I adore how simple Firebase is for beginners to use—you can link your application to Firebase with just two or three taps. I appreciate that it keeps application associations and assessment working with, as this aids in gathering some first-hand knowledge of the dashboard for all major occurrences. I appreciate that Firebase provides a solution via the supervisor board without the requirement for a second server and without the creation of server-side code. I appreciate that it provides various forms of affirmation (browse of email, phone number, casual networks). That you can definitely produce a record without the need for a credit or charge card is something I prefer. I appreciate that the Firebase evaluation tool enables your application to make, develop,

Cons

Despite the fact that Firebase suits completely the improvement of more straightforward applications, isn't proper for complex applications, with huge information or various relations/combinations which makes large organizations dispose of Firebase as a choice. Setting up, arranging, and executing arrangements with Firebase isn't quite as natural as it thoroughly searches in instructional exercises and archives and absolutely requires coding abilities, particularly in Java, Hub JS, and a few others. There is an expectation to learn and adapt.
