Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The most valuable feature of Google Firebase authentication and deployment."
"The initial setup of Google Firebase is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Google Firebase have been Analytics, Remote Config, and Crashlytics. Additionally, a lot of companies have used push notifications which is important. There is little maintenance required."
"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 scalability is good."
"It's stable."
"The most beautiful feature of Google Firebase is that it gives you a lot of functionalities out of the box, without you having to develop or having to complete a solution. For example, identity management is integrated, and security is out of the box, particularly security for the user and the ability of each user to see his data. I also like that Google Firebase has a really good performance and is comparable to MongoDB. It's on the same level, and sometimes, it's on an even higher level than MongoDB. Other functions that Google Firebase has that I find valuable include information dissemination, mail automation, and SMS, available out of the box. Another valuable feature of the solution is that it allows you to develop some functionalities on the server side, so you can write JavaScript functions on the server side and use those functions quite easily. Google Firebase gives you almost a full backend environment out of the box without you having to do any deployments or a lot of administration because all administration is given out of the box."
"The most valuable feature I like is about the realtime. Updates are also very fast."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"Image backup is a valuable feature. Even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"Google Firebase should add extra functionality to do global delete and updates across your database."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward."
"The solution's notification system could be much better."
"Firebase's real-time information isn't technically real-time. It takes a while to upload user activity into the app. It's not as fast as Datadog, the other solution we use."
"The only thing that I won't do on Firebase is the hosting side of things for a progressive web app because it feels like you actually still need to download the app first before you can actually get into the functionality of the app."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer capabilities to work offline. Like Firestore, we should be able to do insertion, updating, and deletion offline."
"I would like to see faster data migration and some support for other languages in the next release."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
