Firebase is very easy to use and that's the best thing I liked.
Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Information Technology and Services
Firebase Performance Monitor only monitors the client-side performance of the app, it does not monitor the server-side performance and it only retains data for 30 days, which sometimes is an issue when we need to check historical data.
