Considered Both Products
Firebase Crashlytics
Chose Firebase Crashlytics
Truly speaking, it is also a quite good tool for crash reports, but Firebase Crashlytics was better to use when you are using the Firebase Realtime database as your DB, so the integrations become much easier.
Chose Firebase Crashlytics
As mentioned previously, the only realistic competitor to Crashlytics is Instabug (backed by Y Combinator in the W16 class). While Crashlytics is focused on actual crashes, Instabug's main innovation is in collecting feedback from users for non-crash bugs. While non-crash bugs …
Chose Firebase Crashlytics
Based on what our developers have told me, Crashlytics is better than anything else out there. I personally have worked with Flurry for event and crash monitoring, and my experience was terrible. I know some project teams have tried some alternatives in the space that I don't …
Chose Firebase Crashlytics
BuddyBuild's crash reporting tool is a far cry from Crashlytics, and the interface is also not nearly as good.
Chose Firebase Crashlytics
Compared it with Crittercism on a Xamarin project a while back and on that platform, Crittercism was the best.
But on Android, Crashlytics is just a lot better in providing good stack traces and having a useful analytics console. It's pretty much the defacto standard on …
Flurry Analytics
Chose Flurry Analytics
For my uses, Flurry is free which makes it way more attractive than the other platforms even on a very big number of monthly events.
It also have set reports which are exactly the reports that a marketing person needs without any need of spending a developer time to create them …

Firebase Crashlytics is a no-brainer if you are already using any of the other Firebase suite of products, as its integration is very easy if you are already using these in your app. If you have cross-platform Android, iOS, and macOS apps, you should also consider Firebase Crashlytics to provide a unified across your platforms. If your app is only on Android or only on Apple, then you may be better off remaining with the default Apple Developer or Google Play Developer Console crash collection experiences.

I would encourage a colleague to use Flurry Analytics. Incorporating Flurry Analytics in an app is a simple and straightforward task, and will take the average app developer less than 15 minutes to understand and apply. This amount of time is nothing in the grand scheme of the development of the app, and the return on time invested to incorporate it is great. New tracking features can be added at any time.

Cons
  • Improve the SDK installation documentation
  • Simplify the migration from Fabric.io to Firebase
  • Improve the UI, currently it feels fairly old & clunky

  • From a programming perspective, there really aren't any improvements that I can think of.
  • From the app owner perspective, limits on certain demographics can seem like a hindrance to data collection, but these restrictions are typically imposed by Apple, not by Flurry.

Likelihood to Renew
Because its fulfilling our basic and necessary requirements that can be an only and enough reason to renew the subscription.

The cost of the product and lack of a competitor that can deliver exactly what we're looking for an app measurement, leads us to be more than likely to renew our use of Flurry. It isn't the most efficient for our particular uses, but the top end app analytic tools out there are far too expensive for us.

Usability
It is very easy for non-developer staff to use the Firebase Console and gather information for the development team. Developers will find it straightforward to integrate Firebase Crashlytics into new or existing codebases using Google's in-depth developer documentation. I cannot think of an easier cross-platform solution to use, and because of that I wish it supported more platforms!

Compared it with Crittercism on a Xamarin project a while back and on that platform, Crittercism was the best. But on Android, Crashlytics is just a lot better in providing good stack traces and having a useful analytics console. It's pretty much the defacto standard on Android...everyone uses Crashlytics. It's even more common to use Crashlytics and the Firebase crash tracking; Firebase does track ANR's a lot better though.

It also have set reports which are exactly the reports that a marketing person needs without any need of spending a developer time to create them for you, or holding an in-house BI person that works on creating reports.
