More flexible environments, easy to use, more supported inbuilt libraries, more related integrations grouped together like queues, i say the best for serverless application deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inline function editing is not possible, this is so annoying when you wanna test something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best features of serverless apps is that we do not need to maintain or worry about the underlying infrastructure as that is completely managed by Microsoft. Just with a few clicks we can get our apps up and running.

Multiple apps can be onboarded on a single function reducing the need to manage multiple functions.

Also it integrates seamlessly with various other Azure services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few latency and sluggish performance issues we have encountered even for very small and basic scripts but seems to be pretty intermittent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*it is cost effective- It's a serverless service where one only pays for the compute resources used during the execution of functions.

*easy to use- it has a simple and intuitive interface that makes it easy to create, deploy, and manage your functions.

*Flexible- Azure functions support a wide range of languages, so you can use the tool and language tat you are familiar with.

*Integration- Azure functions can easily integrate with other azure services such as Azure cosmos, azure service bus and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since azure function is a part of azure platform, you need to have an azure account to use it. Since its a serverless system, your functions may take longer to trigger. Also, in some scenerios, the cold latency can lead up to higher cost because of the time it takes to initialize resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to get started and to run from Visual Studio to production-ready app.

You don't need to configure servers, install anything, worry about scale.

The best part was GitHub integration. YOu push code to repo and seconds later is it online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the pricing could be lower and the cold start could be avoided. In the basic plan.

Also advanced functionalities like response caching or rate limiting require API Management or different solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

best thing is provides verities of programming languages so if resources are familiar with different technologies / programming languages then also by using azure functions it is easy to develop application.

its integrations and implementation is very easy and if we stuck on any stage they have fast responsive customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see any downside in terms of its service but maybe some people have concern about budget so they have to check azure plans before adding into the development stage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use for adhoc computation. You can use this serverless platform to test your code. It can also be used to run a small piece of code to perform a certain task. I have used azure functions in generic tasks like sending email, perform basic transformation in real time pipelines. Easy to integrate with Azure services like synapse, adf pipeline.

The max execution time is around 10 mints. It should be more to perform a bigger task execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the simplist deplyment for function when needed to reduce the need for virtual machine or writing a code, triggered when needed and at predefined time, which reduces the overhead of developing and maintatinng code as well the reduction in the cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

none, however the ability to use teh fucntions depends on the end user knowledge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was surprised how easy it was to deploy my code. I've opened Visual Studio, created a project, added logic, and clicked deploy. In minutes my function was online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WHen your functions become more and more complex and you need to add rate limiting or IP filtering you must use additional tools, Sadly there is nothing built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure Functions' seamless scalability and serverless architecture are outstanding. The integration with various Azure services, coupled with the pay-as-you-go model, provides flexibility and efficiency, enhancing overall application development and deployment.

Azure Functions, while powerful, could improve CI/CD integration for smoother workflows. Documentation clarity needs enhancement. Cost, although reasonable, could be more competitive. Additional features like webhooks for user updates and streamlined setup would enhance user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure functions are pretty easy and quick to set up. They also offer a variety of integration options and a convenient way to sift through the logs. The Azure DevOps integration is also an excellent way to track what code the app is currently running and when it was deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the way the execution logs are organized a bit irksome. There is also no way to quickly change the code of a function within the Azure UI and test, unlike Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
