Simple to get started with and offers integration features in multiple programming languages
The product provides integration features in multiple languages, such as Python, JavaScript, Golang, and all other languages. Google Firebase has documentation, which might seem a bit confusing, but one with decent knowledge can easily explore and get started with Firebase quickly. Before jumping into any cloud infrastructure, the tool should analyze how much it would cost to run the database. Google Firebase provides a certain number of reads and writes per day, which is approximately 40,000 reads and writes. If there are more than 200 to 300 active users per day, there will be plenty of reads and writes to the database. In such a case, one can't use Google Firebase and has to upgrade to Spark, which is where it is based on usage. The tool is fairly simple to get started with. Utilize all the features can get very complicated. One must be a pretty good developer who has a lot of experience to be able to utilize the best features. It gets really complicated over time. The basic functionality and basic usage are easy to use and easy to get started. There are plenty of deprecated versions, and frequently upgrading them causes inconvenience. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Excellent support but it is a costly solution
The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We used it to create credentials for DART for our Android and Flutter applications."
"The product is easy to use."
"I found the flexibility of handling and dealing with database through EDL to be very useful."
"We use the platform to deploy our software projects."
"The Realtime Database feature is the most important for us since we are able to see changes in the database the moment they are happening."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It has security rules to control database read/write operations in real-time."
"The main feature for us is that the tools are all in one place and that you don't need to bother with the backend system and the infrastructure."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"There needs to be an easy way to duplicate a database."
"In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future."
"The product is not that cheap."
"They could add a session replay to better understand how a crash or bug happened."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"One of the challenges I was facing when I was using it was the library called Google Dialogflow which allows you to connect your chatbot with an intent. So there is so much adding when you are trying to connect it with your service because you have to do a lot of repetition writing a new intent, putting it step by set so it is good to escape. I believe it should be flexible and dedicate the intents based on the relating and to write a lesser code when doing that."
"I would prefer Google Firebase to focus more on its integration capabilities since it is an area in the solution with certain shortcomings."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing plans indicate it can get very expensive."
"Pricing for Google Firebase is not so expensive, and if you're a start-up with a small amount of data, it will be quite cheap, and there's even a free tier that you can use. If you're doing a pilot with a reasonable amount of data, for example, just a few gigabytes, it's still on the free tier. If you increase the amount of data, Google Firebase pricing is still reasonable."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The product is free."
"Google Firebase’s pricing needs improvement."
"It is not easy to calculate the cost per copy, use or if the load rose dramatically we did not know how that would impact the final price."
"The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service."
"The tool is affordable."
