  • Firebase is a useful application during the design and development stage of our apps. We can use it to improve authentication through passwords and social logins.
  • Provides a quick way to manage the agile collection management inherent in Firebase.
  • Although with a certain limit, it has a free plan to start with the authentication of the applications.

  • In the short/medium term, you will have a huge ROI
  • In the long-term, it's always cheaper to build the functionalities by yourself, but should you? IMO only if it's core to the business. If not, stick with Firebase.

  • Firebase has meant that we can go to market more quickly due to its automation of repetitive boiler plate tasks, such as authentication provider support
  • Firebase's free tier is ideal for low to moderate use apps, and if your app grows to high use, the paid tier is very affordable
  • Firebase's excellent cross platform support has reduced development expense when porting apps to other platforms

  • (Vaguely) Positive: We were forced to move from Google Analytics, so at least we still have analytics!
  • Negative: We have fewer insights compared to Google Analytics because Firebase isn't as configurable.
  • Negative: We've had to lose certain parts of our (Google Analytics) tagging because there wasn't a practical way of storing some of our data in Firebase.
  • Negative: The BigQuery-Firebase configuration is a chore and there's no way you'll ever get non-analytics people to use it.

  • Positive ROI: it has a much better delivery rate for push notifications, thus leading to more user engagement, thus higher retention and higher revenue.
  • Positive ROI: it has helped the tech team to be more agile in terms of sending out fixes as Firebase sends realtime alerts for crashes and fatal issues.

  • New features for our customers - Before using Firebase, we simply didn't provide push notifications. This has added an expected feature for us, which makes our apps more relevant.
  • Engagement - Push notifications have allowed us to engage our app users with pertinent information.

  • Implementing Firebase helped us to reach our customers easily using push notifications.
  • Authorization and OAuth token management is not a problem now. It is very easy to Authenticate users with third-party OAuth providers.
  • Data backup and download is a great option for the local data manager. You can sync your data with local database manager easily with integrators.

  • Firebase has been able to help us understand reliably, the drop-off in our user flows with their funnel feature. This has made it easy for us to be able to pinpoint weaknesses in our funnel and test and optimize with data as the dependent variable.
  • From an economic standpoint, we don't pay for Firebase which is great, but as the saying goes "You get what you pay for" also holds true in this context. As we looked to grow and scale, we looked for a paid solution.
  • From a developer resource standpoint, Firebase has been extremely easy to integrate into our app. Whether it be the event tracking, dynamic links or crash reporting we have not had to waste too much developer time thanks to their well-organized developer docs.
