Google Firebase Reviews

I use the solution as a database and even for Google Firebase's authentication-related stuff.

I love using Google Firebase for authentication. Anyone who develops a website or app can integrate Google Firebase's authentication part seamlessly with minimal lines of code, and it provides an API for that. Google Firebase has authentication features that are very important and necessary.

We utilized Firebase in many cases, such as volume, storage, hosting Angular and static pages, normal dynamic pages, and OAuth requirements. We also used it to create credentials for DART for our Android and Flutter applications. It is a Google-backed platform for Android applications. We have mobile applications for both Android and iOS devices, which we initially developed separately. Now, we are using Flutter for our mobile applications. We were utilizing Firebase primarily for our Android applications.

The authentication feature is good. I would rate it around eight out of ten. The process was seamless and straightforward for Gmail users. However, the authentication process was different and challenging for Microsoft accounts. While integrating it into an Angular or mobile application was easy for Google users, it was a plug-and-play. Non-Google users require additional conditions and configurations.

Integrations and extensions offered by the product are quite limited presently. From an improvement perspective, the tool should try to increase the extensions it provides. I feel that Google is trying to improve in the area of the extensions it provides, but I feel that it would take time.

I have been using Google Firebase for four years.

We use Firebase for understanding crashes and tracking analytics about our users, which supports marketing, development, and distribution purposes.

Firebase has been helpful in providing analytics and crash insights. It still needs more detail for larger scale applications.

I use Google Firebase mainly for applications. Google Firebase has competitors like Supabase and PostgreSQL. Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications. The solution also has a feature where you can change the parameters online. Other products in the market cannot compare with the many services Google Firebase provides for application development.

Also, the solution's deployment for the App Store is very easy with the swing Firebase. Mostly, 90% of people use Google Firebase because of its availability in many places. The solution is very fast, scalable, and dynamic. If you have a lot of clients, the solution will automatically scale up to the number of your clients.

Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well. It's not very easy because you can upload one version of your app and test it with different phones. Google needs to improve it because I tried it multiple times and found that manually testing the app works better and much faster.

Google should find a way to reduce the solution's read and write. For example, if you have a list of 100 clients for only one click, and if they read, it will be 100 reads, which is expensive. We could use a cache method, but it's still expensive. So Google should reduce the cost a bit. Like Supabase, Google Firebase can have SQL models so that we can have relational and non-relational databases at the same time. A relational database could be much cheaper in some cases.

I primarily use the solution for various cloud functions. I build applications on it. I also use the Firestore and the database. I use authentication as well. 

The authentification is very valuable to me. 

There are several server functions that are valuable to my use case. 

It's easy to use.

The documentation is very extensive. 

It's stable. 

The cost is reasonable. 

I mainly use authentication, database, notifications, and remote config. Most of the key features of Firebase.

The authentication. It's a managed product that supports all types of authentication and has a generous free trial. They give a very big free credit to start with.

Firebase Analytics is good enough, but I prefer to use Google Analytics directly by inserting their tag in my code.

We don't use their app distribution product. It's okay, but not that useful.

We use Firebase primarily for storing user data, authentication data, and many more - like Apple authentication data, Google authentication data, Facebook authentication data, and storage of any authentication data in Firestore. 

We also use it for chat modules such as one-to-one or real-time chat using the real-time database.

Firebase has been very useful to us. We have been using Firebase for three years, and it has been beneficial as we can store user data efficiently. Additionally, the access to Firestore is very easy.
