Google Firebase Reviews

I chose Google Firebase because it provides an easy way to authenticate. It offers a lot of authentication services and libraries. It is easier to use, allowing authentication directly from the front end without interacting with the back end. For more advanced use, it can also integrate with the back end. It supports most social logins and offers a free tier with features like email sending for sign-up confirmations and OTP authentication, which can be costly. The solution is user-friendly for developers and good for our company’s authentication needs across all applications.

The authentication features have made things a lot easier for our organization. About five years ago, developers had to create authentication systems from scratch. Now, services like Google Firebase provide secure and accurate authentication solutions. We can implement authentication quickly by following their documentation.

The customization options for password resetting are limited. The process requires additional steps and coding to make it user-friendly. While Google Firebase works well for the login page, password resetting and user verification redirect users to a separate interface, which is not very user-friendly.

I have been using the product for one and a half years. 

The solution is stable; only disruptions exist when the user does not confirm emails. 

My company has seven users. I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten. We had issues with scalability, particularly with configurability. Sometimes, we couldn't meet our expectations because the features provided were limited. For example, when sending customer emails, we had limited customization options.

I used open-source libraries before Google Firebase. 

The solution's deployment is easy for a front-end engineer. There are not many operations in the front end. 

I suggest reviewing the documentation and understanding the flow before starting development. It may seem complicated initially, but having a clear idea of the process will make implementation easier. Integrating one application into others becomes straightforward once you have one application set up. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

The solution provides authentification. It's a real-time database with tracking features. We also use it as a NoSQL database to restore data, and we also use some analytics, remote config, web hosting, and cloud functionality for APIs.

We can focus on developing Mobile app, while relying on the Firebase for the backend (data, file storage, authentication, notification, API). And it is very cheap for hosting the backend so Firebase is really good for start-up company to quickly launch a new product ideas into the market 

We're able to use the solution in several processes.

For example, we developed a mobile app, and in the mobile app, we developed an authentication service for authentication for a login feature. And we use real-time for charts and Firestore to store data, and remote config to do some application settings remotely. 

For another project, we use it in a rather similar way. However, in this scale, we use the cloud function for the API and use Firestore as a database.

It's also great for web hosting, analysis, and CRAFTalytics that we use to measure the craft of the app.

The initial setup is not exactly straightforward. 

They really need to work on their performance. It is not so good.

I've been using the solution for 4 years.

The performance is not good. That said, it doesn't crash. We'd like the stability, in general, to be more reliable. 

I've not experienced scalability. It's a new app, and the number of users is not that much, so we haven't seen scalability in action. 

That said, I have noted that the response of the server is not very good. The APIs sometimes take ten seconds to return data. It's running slow. Normally, people expect the data to be returned within two seconds.

We have five developers using the solution right now. It is still a new system. Since the response time is slow, we likely won't be expanding usage. 

I've never used technical support.

Besides Firebase, we also have Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS, and while Firebase is rather cheaper than the other tools, its performance and response time is slow. I'm not really sure that we should expand the number of users on the platform.

Azure has the best performance, yet it's the most expensive. AWS is something in between Firebase and Azure. So, the price is higher with Azure and its performance is a little bit better than Firebase.

It's not straightforward to set up the whole way through. Some of it is easy to use like remote config and web hosting. However, other areas, like cloud functions in real-time on the database, are not easy.

The deployment is quick. You just need one person to manage the process. They are an admin engineer.

For stability, we have a strict testing version process and also production. We have to create two Firebase environments for each of them, and there is no transition between station to production so, which is one limitation of the size and scope.

We handled the initial setup in-house. 

The pricing is pretty good. It's less than Azure and AWS.

We pay for a private license.

You can use some of Google's services and it's okay. The functionality, the authentication, and the notifications of Firebase are really good, so it's what I strongly recommend people to use, however, the database the real-time functionality is not good. 

I'd rate the solution seven 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.

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. 

They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in. They are no longer supporting that feature for authentication.

The cloud functionality can always be better. We cannot, for example, use it outside Google. 

There are some features that are only available online. There aren't very many things you can do in your local environment. 

I've been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. I'd rate the stability out of ten. Out of all of the platforms I have used, it's the best. I'd rate it 9.5 out of ten for stability. 

I don't have much experience with scaling. My understanding is it can only be used in Google servers and within the Google environment, so you can't scale beyond Google. 

I'm not sure how many people in my organization use it. 

The solution would be a fit for small or medium-sized companies thanks to the ease of development. 

I've never really used technical support. However, they do provide lots of great documentation that pretty much answers all of my questions. 

The deployment process is very straightforward. It's easy. I wouldn't call it complex at all. What I deploy normally doesn't take much time. I don't deploy large blocks of software. I can deploy things in ten minutes or so. 

The ROI is okay. If we deploy an application and it is something that generates an income, that isn't really related to Firebase. However, the cost is very low. 

The pricing is reasonable. They have general plans. You choose what you need. I haven't really used anything above the free plan. The little bit of money I have to pay is fine. The last amount I paid was about $10 a month. 

I considered working with Amazon. However, the process was too tedious. I moved over to Google as it was more straightforward and easy to learn. 

I'm an end-user. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I highly recommend the solution to anyone who wants to start working in the cloud. The time to market is very short, and the ease of use is great. It offers great resources. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten overall.

Google Fire is providing a lot of features, such as the deployment of our application, and the real-time database where we can store data.

Google Firebase’s pricing needs improvement.

I rate Google Firebase a nine out of ten. I recommend it for enterprise businesses.

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.

We use the solution for authentication and faster backend deployment of applications.

The solution has a comprehensive framework with well-integrated features, including authentication, database, scalability, etc.

The solution's pricing could be better.

It is a very stable solution.

It is a very scalable solution.

The solution's initial setup process has a medium complexity.

It is an expensive tool. Also, the additional cost depends on the use cases.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. It provides faster backend deployment for applications. Although, it could make your applications dependent on the technology.

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.

Our primary use case is with a chatbot and file usage. Let us say you wanted to pay for your utility bill and your data at the same time. We do this using a reward commodity known as cash tokens. This includes checking your wallet's balance and topping it up.

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 step 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 have been using Google Firebase for the past two years.

When it comes to stability I had an issue during training with downtime, I do not know maybe because of more traffic on the chatbot.

The scalability is good.

There is plenty of documentation available. I think there is plenty of group support available and Google support as well. The website has plenty of information.

The price is perfect and very clearly defined. The price during the trial setup is free and then you move to a paid service.

I would rate Google Firebase a ten out of ten.
