Parse-Server Reviews & Product Details

Easy to setup and get running for small projects without much need of relational tables Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not at all suitable for applications requiring complex relational data

also reads and writes become performance averse.

need to go beyond this to scale out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of installation and getting the server up and running is commendable. The way this integrates with Express JS / React and a plethora of community-built libraries can make developing an app very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. Every guide in the opensource world is pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a tool that allows for the management of shared data. The graphical user interface is fully developed. Its a promising platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is wise to consider open-source projects that are more stable when thinking about long term scalability and maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it's easy to use when making updates with the system, it's really helpful when closing some tickets that are about to process and involve some money on it. It saves time. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess it's kind of heavy storage that's why it keeps on lagging the pc, most of the time my pc will hang up and won't move forward when trying to edit something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had personally used Parse-Server in my web application development. In the web application, the most important part for the business of an application is how the application handles the user data effectively in different devices like mobile, laptop, desktop pc, and tablet, etc. And, also the most important point comes after the data handling is that user data should be synchronized effectively in all the devices without having any problem. So for this purpose, I use the Parse-Server tool and manage my application data, with the help of this on different user devices. It is very easy to use and also very easy to understand. There are lots of services provided by the Parse-Server tool for example developed apps can be hosted locally, the user decides about the file storage system and the database management, a user easily constructs queries and dashboard features.

The Parse-Server is an average tool for the shared data quickly and without writing any backend code or custom APIs.I would like to suggest some areas of improvement, for example, I find it a little difficult to maintain relationships between various classes.

It organizes our users in a very complete and conclusive way, allowing us to view our users through various lenses, that are helpful to me on the marketing side of things, to develop strategies and suggest improvements. As well as gain access to information about what might be occurring to users I communicate with about what they might be experiencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike some of the ways that parse operates on the back end. For example, we use parse for email verification of our users. Parse sens them an email to verify, and they verify from there. However, this link has been broken in many instances since the new release of our app. It's a function we need in our app but are now searching elsewhere for because parse, in this case, is simply not as reliable as we need it to be.

Really easy to get started

Offers a very nice dashboard to view saved data and good configuration options.

Support for adding 3rd party plugins (e.g. supporting login with different providers)

Easy to construct queries

Easy integration with mobile SDKs, you don't need to explicitly write networking code, you can just handle objects and functions.

Perfect for prototyping solutions and getting something working quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From my research and what I've seen from other users, it does not scale that well to really large apps.

Javascript.

Can be tricky to maintain relationship across different classes, would require a lot of custom code in beforeSave/afterSave handlers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact the community rose and kept this service-turned-software alive and going, and it remains in active development after the debacle of the shutdown of the Parse services. It provides with a wonderful alternative for Backend use, simplifying a lot of complex tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup can be a bit fidgety, and the server is fairly opinionated in its way of doing things, though of course that's part of what makes it a delight to use, if your tastes match the server's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The different API's that were provided with good documentation,

Good Authentication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) No Oracle database or MySQL database

2) No Python SDK's/ API's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parse Server is the OSS version of our loved "Parse.com" service. Great piece of software but without a real business model.

Now the OSS version maintains the same quality level but with the opportunity for hosting our data and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI is not 100% complete but we are patient and faithful.

Some paid serviced offers a better mashup of various components (server, tasks, gui, notifications) and at this moment this is the major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
