Overall Satisfaction with Firebase
We use Firebase as our complete solution for authentication, analytics, testing, and monitoring for our Android, iOS, and macOS apps. We chose Firebase over all other competing solutions because of its excellent documentation, helpful community, widespread adoption, scalability, and broad platform support. Firebase enables us to use one framework for all of this across multiple platforms, devices, and languages, which has not only simplified our codebase and support footprint, but has also meant that new features and mechanisms can be rolled out more quickly across all platforms than if separate libraries and frameworks were used on each platform.
Pros
- Analytics
- Reporting
- Cross-platform
- Authentication
Cons
- macOS support for all iOS Firebase features
- Windows support for all features
- Improved integration with all Google products (such as Admob and Adsense)
- More sample applications and snippets to help developers rapidly add functionality
- Cross-platform support
- Integration between all Firebase functions
- Excellent support for third party providers and systems
- Comprehensive documentation
- 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
