Analytics integration has improved how I manage user identity and understand customer behavior
I face difficulties with the authentication parts in Google Firebase when it goes with iOS applications. With Android applications, that is easier because Google owns it. When it goes to iOS applications, there should be a much more straightforward, smoother way. I mostly faced that with Flutter because with Flutter, there are two sides with Android and iOS. The Android part was pretty much easier for me, but when it goes to the iOS part, there was more work on that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and hosting."
"Google Firebase is one I like a lot because it gives us a little bit more power and accessibility when it comes to publishing apps a lot quicker and for the needs that we have."
"There are several features that I really appreciate about Google Firebase; it has an authentication and authorization tool, a real-time database, and serverless cloud functions."
"We used it to create credentials for DART for our Android and Flutter applications."
"Overall, I have to say that this database is great."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"The product's user interface for developers needs improvement."
"They have discontinued some very valuable features, including the Firebase UI that I used to log in."
"You need to have some experience with deployment."
"There needs to be an easy way to duplicate a database."
"In terms of DevOps, such as CI/CD deployments and integrating webhooks with GitHub, GitLab, or other platforms, Firebase does not offer those capabilities at that level."
"The UI for the realtime database could be simplified."
"The exploration of the functions within Firebase could be improved."
"The product is complicated for beginners to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate Google Firebase a seven or eight out of ten for pricing."
"It is an expensive tool."
"Google Firebase’s pricing needs improvement."
"The more the number of reads and writes, the more one gets charged."
"I rate the price of Google Firebase a four out of five."
"They have a free tier that will cover most projects. For more intensive use, you pay as you use it, but the price is very cheap."

"The moment you go into volumes, then you work on a pay-per-volume basis."
