Google Firebase Reviews

I use Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and Firebase Crashlytics. I have also used Firebase Performance.

Google Analytics for Firebase is the best feature of the solution. Generally, for analytics, I must integrate GA4 for the web. Since Firebase supports analytics, I can now analyze on the same dashboard using Google Analytics. It is very useful for me. The notification services, Google Analytics, and Crashlytics are easy to use.

The notifications must be made a little bit better. Firebase Cloud Messaging doesn’t support non-dismissable notifications. I encountered some difficulties migrating the code from Firebase Cloud Storage to another DB.

I have been using the solution for three years and two months.

The product had bugs. I haven't found any bugs for the past one and a half years. There are conflicts with the Flutter text package while migrating to the latest Firebase version. It would be better if the problem were resolved.

The product is much more scalable compared to other solutions. I know 12 people in the organization who use the solution. Eight know the tool well and use it in different company projects.

I contacted support when I started using the solution. Now, I don’t need any support. The documentation is understandable.

The initial installation was easier after FlutterFire CLI was created. It was very useful to integrate the product. Before FlutterFire CLI, it was a little bit harder to integrate the tool into iOS.

The tool is affordable. The cost is a bit high compared to REST API. Some clients prefer REST API over Firebase.

I have deployed one project in the cloud. I have used some services of the solution for other use cases. The services similar to notification services, Google Analytics, and Crashlytics are not easy to use in other tools. I will recommend the solution if someone wants to use the notification services, Messaging, Analytics, and Crashlytics. However, I will not suggest if someone wants to use Firebase Cloud Storage.

The solution is difficult to learn if someone is just starting their career. If we get a little bit of guidance from a senior, it will be very easy. I number the patchwork for app versioning and deployment just like Android versioning. The first digit will be for batches from right to left, the second for major updates, and the third for a complete app version change. I increase the number by one for every build, patch it, and publish it. I use the same logic if I am deploying in Firebase.

Most of the applications I have worked on are e-commerce-based applications. The main requirement for clients in such applications is conversion rate. When a user interacts with a particular product, the client wants to know whether the user purchased the product or not. They want to know where the users lost interest and went away without making the payment. Google Analytics helped me fix such issues much better than any other product. I'm very happy with it.

Sometimes, I couldn't figure out how to fix issues when working on iOS. Suppose I’m just upgrading Firebase through workspace.yaml, sometimes, I may need to check whether the native version is supported. I will have to go through the documentation again. It will be much better if it is fixed by changing the version in workspace.yaml. Everything else works well.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Google Firebase for deploying my web applications. Whenever I have leisure time, I try to code some web applications and develop them. Then, I deploy these web applications using Google Firebase.

The main part that I like about Firebase is that it provides command line tools. It gives you a set of command lines and instructions to deploy, which you can use easily to deploy in the terminal itself. There is no need to manually move the files to Firebase.

Maybe not for someone new to deployment and authentication, as it's somewhat difficult to use. You need to have some experience with deployment.

Professionally, I haven't used it, however, I've used it personally for deploying my personal projects for the past year.

I have not faced any issues with its stability.

I did not contact their support team. Whatever issues I faced, I resolved by directly searching on Google or stack overflow.

Positive

I used Dynatrace for error logging in the production environment.

There is a learning curve for about a week.

Firebase is open source and free up to a certain level, so there is no need to pay any amount up to a certain point.

We also use Google Analytics for error logging.

I can suggest Google Firebase over other deployment tools because of its seamless authentication and open-source nature.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I use Google Firebase to monitor mobile applications.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its messaging system is very good. Firebase Crashlytics is also very good.

In Google Firebase, reporting is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required to be made in the future. Sometimes, it's not easy to retrieve data based on the pre-defined reports. There are some things you would like to measure, and it gets really hard to gather from the reports in Google Firebase, so there is a need to make available a custom report.

I have been using Google Firebase for four to five years. I am just a customer of the solution.

It is a stable solution.

It is a very scalable solution.

Plenty of people in my organization use Google Firebase.

The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of the product is easy.

The product can be installed in a few hours.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

Though I can take care of the installation phase of the product by myself, it is usually taken care of by a developer.

In terms of price, Google Firebase can be described as a cheap product. 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.

My company chose Google Firebase since it is one of the most popular tools in the market that is easy to use, making it the best product.

Google Firebase is easy to maintain, and only one person is required to maintain it.

If someone is looking for a scalable and cheap solution, I would suggest they use Google Firebase.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I use Google Firebase for its database file storage.

The most valuable features of Google Firebase are its database, noSQL database, file storage, authentication, and notifications.

I had a problem deleting the user's files, and I had to move to the paid plan to do that. They have added a plugin to allow you to do that, but I've not implemented that yet. Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database.

I have been using Google Firebase for three years.

Google Firebase is a very stable solution. I rate Google Firebase a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing.

I evaluated other options like AWS and Azure.

I am using the latest version of Google Firebase.

Overall, I rate Google Firebase an eight out of ten.

Google Firebase is more than just a database service. It is a complete platform by Google that is incredibly versatile for mobile and web app development.

The most valuable feature of Google Firebase is its user-friendliness. Since Firebase was the first database I used, it is hard for me to compare it to others. However, what stands out is how straightforward and easy it was to work with. Its simplicity makes it quite handy for my needs in app development. Firebase makes it incredibly easy to build relationships between tables and set up database structures. It feels like a seamless drag-and-drop experience, which saves a lot of time compared to starting from scratch with other MySQL services.

Google Firebase doesn't need significant improvements because it provides a complete package for databases, crash analytics, and reports. 

I have used Google Firebase for a short period of time while working on a few projects.

I wouldn't describe it as a highly scalable product. Firebase is more of a set of essential services provided by Google for building various applications. Its scalability depends on the specific services and resources you choose within Firebase to meet your application's needs.

I have not had any need to contact technical support.

The initial setup is fairly easy and it is done online. 

Google Firebase can be affordable when used in your own app, as many features have free tiers. However, if you are selling an app with extensive Firebase use, costs may go up. It's not too expensive, but it's crucial to pick a pricing plan that fits your business.

My advice to people who are considering using Firebase is to evaluate their app's needs to determine if Firebase is a suitable fit. Firebase is versatile and offers features beyond just databases, such as crash analytics, which can be incredibly helpful. It provides detailed insights into crashes, when they occur, and on which devices, making bug tracking and resolution much easier. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We used the solution for real-time database and authentication.

The solution helped us with real-time databases and authentication while working on a product with a chat element.

The solution's notification system could be much better. Also, they should add automation aspects to it. The authentication capabilities need expansion as well. In addition, they should enable vertical scaling for real-time databases.

They should add a code library to it. Presently, it is very troublesome to develop new code. Also, there needs to be a document for standardized procedures.

The solution is highly stable. I rate its stability a nine.

I rate the solution's scalability as six and a half. Its orchestration tools need to be fixed for deployment. It becomes challenging to determine the scaling capabilities.

The solution's customer service needs to be active. Also, the frequency of document updation is relatively low.

Neutral

I have used other solutions before. Later, I switched to Google Firebase as it is more developer friendly.

The solution is straightforward to set up. I rate the process as an eight. It takes two or three days to complete.

Our team of one or two back-end developers implements the solution. It requires only one executive for maintenance.

The solution is worth buying. I rate its ROI as a ten.

The solution's price is based on the number of consumers.

I have evaluated Jira and Amazon solutions.

I rate the solution an eight.

We use the product for storing information about customers in our company.

The platform works quickly and does not require frequent restarts like some SQL databases. It is always active, and there is no downtime when it starts. It is easy to use, has clear documentation, and provides multiple tutorials.

The product's user interface for developers needs improvement. 

We have been using Google Firebase for six months.
