•••
Well documented
The documentation and quick start guides are informative and easy to learn.

•••
Ensured longevity at least for the foreseeable future
Google acquired Firebase in Oct. 2014. This gives Firebase a degree of trustworthiness in their service and future support since they are backed by such a large company.

Pro
•••
One command deploys and rollbacks
The content is deployed immediately through the Firebase CLI. Once it's uploaded, the content is served immediately. If you have made a mistake, you don't need to re-upload a new version, through the Admin dashboard you can easily rollback to a previous version.

File uploads can be done on the background asynchronously
When you want to upload a file, you just create an object and initialize the file upload to the server (this is done asynchronously).

The free plan isn't that good
Kinvey's free plan only includes the first 1000 users for free, 5 million push notifications (which admittedly, is pretty nice) and 2GB of storage.

Pro
•••
Very easy to setup
Setting up a backend for an app with Kinvey is very easy and takes minutes. All you have to do is sign up and through their graphical interface follow all the steps, which boils down to creating tables and identifying the type of data that is being stored. Then you download the library, integrate it with your app and initialize the process with one single line.

Pro
•••
Simple and seamless user registration
User registration with Kinvey is pretty good and usually works without any problems. It's also very easy to use, you simply pass the username, password, email, etc. to the required method and register a callback that returns whether the registration was a success or a failure. Same thing is done for login and logout as well.

E-commerce oriented
It's e-commerce oriented, so if you need to build an e-commerce mobile app you don't have to re-define common resources such as Categories Brands Products and Carts.

Can be modified to be used not only for e-commerce
While it's true that it's built for creating e-commerce apps, every resource can be extended with metadata in order to use it for many use cases.

No hosted version
Kuzzle has no hosted version. In order to use it, you have to install it to a remote machine. This can be cost-effective but it also adds overhead because you will have to take care of the hosting and backend infrastructure yourself.
