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

"I found the flexibility of handling and dealing with database through EDL to be very useful."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"The platform is scalable."
"If you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up."
"If there's data added to the solution, there's a good record of it so it's easy to track everything."
"Google Firebase has a lot of services like storage, Firestore, and push notifications."
"Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Google Firebase lacks a SQL database."
"There needs to be an easy way to duplicate a database."
"We use Firebase for media processing and we are growing more. As we grow, the pricing goes high and it's high compared to competitors. The solution is expensive."
"Google Firebase's app testing feature for Android, where you can upload your APK, needs improvement because it's not working very well."
"The cold start-up of the cloud function needs to speed up. For me personally, I'm not experienced in anything there, however, I've just read online it's a problem."
"There was no way of knowing how the rise in traffic would impact the price."
"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."
"Firebase uses JSON, and the storage format is very different to that of SQL. This does not allow for easy migrations."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a free tier that will cover most projects. For more intensive use, you pay as you use it, but the price is very cheap."
"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."
"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."
"Google Firebase’s pricing needs improvement."
"Google Firebase is an expensive solution."
"The more the number of reads and writes, the more one gets charged."
"The product is free."
"My company makes very minimal payments toward the licensing costs of the solution."
