### "Building with Firebase: Strengths and Limitations for Enterprises"

December 30, 2024

4.0

Pros

Google Firebase is a great tool for building and managing web and mobile applications. It is simple to set up and use, which greatly reduces development time. With features like Realtime Database and Firestore, they are very essential when building applications that require real-time updates and offline support. Since Firebase utilizes Backend as a Service (BaaS) model, it eliminates the need to manage servers, and with tools like Firebase Authentication, it makes it easy to implement secure cross-platform login options. The platform's ability to support cross-platform development is a win, this has allowed our Developers to simplify app creation for Android, iOS, and the web. Having Analytics and performance tools, especially Google Analytics and Crashlytics, they provide important insights into user behavior and app stability, helping our Developers make informed decisions and resolve issues quickly.

Cons

At times it feels like using Firebase ties you to the google ecosystem, We have noted it creates an over-reliance to other google services and might pose a challenge if you need to migrate your services to other platforms.

### "Firebase integrated in marketing strategies"

May 30, 2024

5.0

I recommended a lot of simple, growing, starting, and scaling projects to my fellow developers. Its pay-as-you-go is pay-as-you-go. Having hosting, database, authentication services, and everything coming from Google Cloud makes it a perfect one-stop solution for any project you are working with.

Pros

Having everything in the same place is always satisfying. As Firebase and Google Cloud become a must-have in current serverless implementation, it is excellent to find Firebase getting the love it deserves regarding functionality. The documentation is top-tier, and the connectivity with any other platform you use to store, share, or send data makes it a breeze to use Firebase.

Cons

The dashboard interconnection with the Google Cloud panel is unfinished, so you must jump between multiple screens to find the necessary information. It is there in the same platform and architecture, but it takes 3-4 clicks to get to where you want to be.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Firebase

I was using this platform to send emails, but Firebase suddenly created an extension to create an SMTP server as easily as possible. Connected with your already-known Google account and having everything in one place just made the difference.

One Signal was a perfect option when I had multiple platforms and services for my mobile and web projects. Still, since I started to manage hosting, databases, and many more architecture technologies, I decided to have everything in one place to make it easier.

### "Good for Hobbyists - Product in infancy"

December 6, 2019

3.0

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

Pros

It has a good documentation, and provides many feactures for free, ideal if your starting a new app or bussines and don´t have a lot of money to get stated, so obviously have the best integration with google products

Cons

### "A fantastic all round realtime app hosting solution"

May 25, 2022

5.0

Some of the apps that I have worked on, required items that Firebase offered natively such as realtime communication. I recently needed to build a messenger app and with Firebase, I only needed to configure worry about my front end code. The networking that would normally take weeks of additional work was taken care of by using the realtime database along with the authentication system. I have started to use Firebase as my main data storage for all mobile apps that I make and I relay that data with ease to their respective websites using the various bridges that Firebase have given. In particular, their PHP implementation has been very straightforward to work with.

Pros

Simple to manage and lightning fast, Firebase is great at providing all the infrastructure you will need to host your application. Its realtime document storage method of handling document works like magic and when paired with the built in user authentication options, it can cut down your development time tremendously.

Cons

The only real issue I had with Firebase would have to be the documentation on the auth rules for Firestore. If there is anything more than a simple authentication procedure required, it can be difficult to work out how to develop those rules as there was very little information out there that I could find on this particular part. However, once I had this part worked out, the system worked well.

Reason for choosing Firebase

### "A backend-as-a-service that is easy and affordable to get started"

April 30, 2021

4.0

Firebase has been stable and fast, the end-user experience with Firebase Authentication is also good. Getting started is relatively easy for typical usage, by following the tutorials. Some customization is supported. However, if there are edge cases or scenarios not directly supported by Firebase documentation, it is quite challenging to find alternative approaches or solutions.

Pros

Provides a lot of backend features for developing mobile and web apps, provides free plan with generous limits.

Cons

There is a certain amount of lock-in because most features are using proprietary Firebase APIs and protocols. When using Cloud Firestore, you need to be careful with access patterns, as costs can grow much more than you expected. But with appropriate access patterns and engineering strategies, Firebase services are cost-effective.

Switched from

[Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/)

At that time, we switched from Facebook since Facebook Login because Facebook was treating our domain as untrusted for no reason, and we did not get any response from Facebook Support in order to restore access. It did take a lot of effort to migrate to Firebase, but during our time with Firebase we experienced no downtime or issues.

### "is Firebase better for mobile/web apps development ?"

May 6, 2022

4.0

So far i've been really enjoying working with firebase as an android apps developer because of some amazing features that it has, for instance the firebase authentication, it's just the perfect backend plateplatform for me

Pros

well, it's actually crazy when i think about this, and there is quiet more to consider as its pros, for its reliability cause it's fast and safe, the easy google analytics, and moreover it's " free " for small projects or newbies

Cons

the disadvantage with firebase is that cause it's google product they tend to emphasize more on the android documentation, so it's quiet easy to work with as newbie if your project is android centered, because unfortunately there is less support for IOS

Switched from

### " An excellent platform for your applications, storage and developments"

October 6, 2020

4.0

I have used firebase for the development and hosting of web pages using its firestore and its authentication, which makes it a complete tool that developers like, as well as to create applications in a short time, which has helped me to comply with the customer's time needs.

Pros

What I like most about this product is how fast and easy we can deploy our web applications as well as create databases or manageable data models that are easy to use and understand. Also that we have everything in one place for our applications, hosting, storage and authentication

Cons

I would say that they should improve the limit of simultaneous connections that it has right now, which is a point to take into account for future improvements

Reason for choosing Firebase

for its easy use and that I can manage everything in my application or page from a single tool which makes it more user-friendly

### "Get Your Apps Up And Running With Firebase "

May 6, 2025

5.0

Overall, Firebase has been a reliable platform for building and scaling apps quickly. It’s flexible, powerful, and great for getting projects off the ground real quick.

Pros

Firebase makes backend development fast and efficient. I like the real-time database, it has easy authentication, and seamless integration with other Google tools.

Cons

I'm still in my learning phase with firebase but it can get expensive as usage scales, and some advanced features require a learning curve.

### "Best cloud integration for websites 2023"

October 19, 2022

5.0

Over the year’s, firebase has eased the process to work on server/cloud

Pros

Recently, I was using firebase to host an app which i was doing with CLI cmd however, now i can write CI/CD pipeline and instruct github to do the task for me

Cons

That backend server is quite costly and will have to pay bit high over owing a server

Reason for choosing Firebase

On initial setup for a startup hardware costs a lot over buying a space on cloud

### "Firebase Review"

February 7, 2023

5.0

Our core functionality for it which is the authentication service is great, we were previously using AWS Cognito to do that, but I did not enjoy the experience setting it up, I think Firebase is an easier implementation to setup and just experience.

Pros

Ease of functionality, we use the Authentication and Database services and they are fairly easy to implement and use with our backend services.

Cons

Not a lot of negatives at all, I think as you scale you might want to look at other solutions. But with the document and collection feature for the databases, I personally believe it is a modern implementation of databases which is good for us, but it might not be everyones cup of tea, and I think MongoDB might just scale better if thats what you're looking for.

### "My Quick Review for Firebase From My Experience"

April 27, 2019

4.0

Setup, configuration, and implementation was quite intuitive and developer-friendly with Firebase. In my case, I created my own free Firebase account. This was great since for my case, I only had a few active users and Google has a 'free tier' where it supports up to 15k daily users. Any more than that, Google will charge a monthly fee. From there, I just had to include a script in my app that you just copy from the Firebase Console that Google provides (depends on your app and tech stack, but for me, I was using the JavaScript programming language and Facebook's ReactNative), which is responsible for initializing Firebase for your app. From there, you can just start using the Firebase API and making calls to it. For my case, I was using their real-time database (stored in JSON format) - the documentation was very nice and simple, and I was able to store the chat messages and retrieve the chat messages fast. In the Console, there's a nice UI for checking up on the database usage as well, which provides stats for connections, amount of data storage used, bandwidth, and load - all based on your set time period. In terms of authentication, Firebase supports a large variety of user sign-in methods for your app. For my case, I just used an 'anonymous' configuration for my sign-in provider. However, Firebase supports many more such as email/password, phone, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and GitHub. Overall, I would highly recommend working with Firebase!

Pros

Firebase can be a great choice for your project or work when building apps. In quick summary, Firebase provides a mBaaS (mobile-Backend-as-a-Service), which in turns helps eliminate the headache for the developer and saves a bunch of time. What may take weeks or months to setup, configure, and possibly more to pay for the infrastructure and hardware - now you can use mBaaS for your app, and get up and running much faster. Now, for my needs, I was trying to build a real-time chat app for my own personal use, mainly just for me and possibly other family members to use (own chat room). Long story short, I was looking for possible ways of implementation here technically, and naturally, a local database for each app would not necessarily be the best decision or suffice - let alone work. I had to work with some sort of remote database in the cloud to store the chat messages. I had many choices to choose from here, including utilizing options available from Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Facebook (Parse) and many many more. However, I stumbled across Firebase by Google and decided to go with it. I respect the Google brand and their reputation, and overall, it was a good choice and it worked out nicely. All of the documentation was great and very simple to use/edit.

Cons

From what I can recall I only encountered one small hiccup where I had to go into the Firebase Console and edit my real-time database security rules (essentially, just a simple JSON configuration file) to improve performance. I can't really come up with many if not any cons at all. I guess you can say that you are going to be reliant on Google/Firebase as part of your tech stack down the road and if anything comes up in the foreseeable future, then that may pose issues. Other than that, it's either you home-brew your own custom hardware and infrastructure or just go with a great mBaaS.

### "The Best Connectivity and authication tool for Developers"

January 13, 2023

5.0

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.

### "A great piece of software to help manage your deployed mobile projects and monitor stability"

March 21, 2022

5.0

Excellent software that massively supports modern app development

Pros

A large suite of software with many uses, I will focus on my own particular uses. First and foremost, the software provides crashlytics support (Crash reporting, debugging and monitoring) for iOS and Android mobile apps. This helps detect and debug issues of our iOS app in a way that saves me lots of time and effort and provides a level of security to our use cases of the app. It provides our team members with real time monitoring of the amount of users we have, in what locations they are and of their demographics (more of a vague outline). This helps target marketing and focus our approach to attracting new customers. The software also provides logging on top of crash reports to resolve problems in our APIs should issues come up. This is another line of defence for us after unit/integration tests in that we can resolve a problem before it becomes a serious issue.

Cons

The software is mostly free of cost, but I am skeptical of what exactly google is doing with our data. I would like to see more clarity on what they use it for and some transparency. This would put my mind at rest particularly when it comes to EU data protection laws

### "Firebase is one of the best real time database."

March 29, 2023

4.0

Overall, Firebase is a comprehensive platform that offers a range of tools and services that can help developers build and scale applications quickly and easily.

Pros

Firebase offers a range of features, from real-time database to hosting and authentication. Firebase is designed to be fast and scalable. Firebase provides serverless functions that allow developers to run backend code without managing servers. This can save developers time and resources by providing a pre-built authentication system.

Cons

Firebase's real-time database is optimized for real-time synchronization and offers limited querying capabilities, which can make it challenging to perform complex queries or search operations. While firebase offers cloud functions to run server-side logic, it is limited compared to a traditional backed service that offers moe control over server configuration and management.

### "Amazing To Start With"

September 16, 2022

4.0

Firebase has been a part of our routine for more than 2 years now and It is the best go to product for the prototyping and quick development as it provides complete suit from Hosting to Database

Pros

Google makes it really intuitive and easy to work with and do complex tasks such as creating a database, setting up storage, using machine learning algorithms etc, with Firebase. For an early stage product, the pricing is also quite affordable.

Cons

The list is not too long but lets start with Rigidity as the systems sometimes compels the user to do a given task in a certain way only and that way may not be the easiest. For example, the deployments are handled with Firebase CLI but sometimes it does not work as expected. Price can also be considered as a con as when the product grows on a large scale, it becomes difficult to keep up with the given packages of Firebase

May 26, 2023

5.0

This is the database I used for my first android project and I found it as very flexible database for new users.

Pros

The main thing is the community. Firebase has a huge active community and that is one of the main reasons why beginners can try this without any hassle. Firebase is a real time database and apps can synchronize with the database in the real time. Also it has offline synchronization as well and update the changes once the internet connection is restored. Firebase SDKs support for frameworks like androd, iOS, angular and react.

Cons

I don't have any problem found while using this.

May 10, 2023

4.0

it is very useful app and best database.

Pros

The Realtime Database provides a flexible, expression-based rules language, called Firebase Realtime Database Security Rules, to define how your data should be structured and when data can be read from or written to. When integrated with Firebase Authentication, developers can define who has access to what data, and how they can access it.

Cons

The Firebase Realtime Database lets you build rich, collaborative applications by allowing secure access to the database directly from client-side code. Data is persisted locally, and even while offline, realtime events continue to fire, giving the end user a responsive experience.

### "Firebase as a go to cloud backend"

October 5, 2018

5.0

To sum up, Firebase is a great and simple tool for complex cloud backends. Especially the ease of use, the fact that the basic rate is free and the platform support is strong makes Firebase a no-brainer for simple or even more complex projects.

Pros

In my experience as a self-taught Android and web developer, I have started using Firebase as a cloud backend for my projects. It is a versatile tool for lots of different problems you might encounter by developing a product. For my projects, Firebase always had the tools I needed in order to create what I imagined - everything from (Google-)logins, to databases, notification management and crash reporting. And in all these cases Firebase just worked! The few times I had to face errors, I was able to resolve problems easily and quickly by using the Firebase documentation or online communities. The incredible userbase Firebase offers also makes it very easy to find tutorials, help or other advice online. Furthermore, the platform support of Firebase is very good, it supports Android, iOS and the Web and additionally offers C++ and Unity in some cases. The prices of the Firebase tools are also very reasonable, most of them start for free and if used heavily they scale perfectly - in my opinion nobody should be disappointed by them.

Cons

Actually, there are no upsetting cons I went through in the time I have used Firebase. The Android Studio help dialogue is sometimes outdated which forced me to use the website for code examples. Additionally, I sometimes experienced a problem regarding the database syncing on Android devices, which cloud by solved by switching to the improved Cloud Firestore database.

### "Firebase cloud services"

July 23, 2021

5.0

Pros

I have been using this to build a product with a startup and have not used anything before that can grow big alongside the startup without having to make architectural changes or worrying about scaling. - Firebase functions are like a swiss army knife to deal with all the things you need - Firebase Storage is one of the most compatible and featureful storage available - Firebase Firestore is an amazing DB solution without needing to worry about migrations and seeders are almost never needed unless there's a complex change - Firebase Hosting is one of the fastest and easiest deployment

Cons

The only relatable cons I felt were - The cost might add up really quick if you haven't planned to raise money for your product - Cost of being a NoSQL database - Importing and exporting data dumps can become a tiring and costly task
