"GCP Automation tool and integrater" 3/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions? The performance of the tool is very important, and we can extend the third party services by using this tool. I haven't used not more than 6 months. But let me tell if you getting enough support you will love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions? We switched the tool due to lack of support, I was exploring the tool with my team. But sometimes, we are not satisfied with the support. So, we decided to move on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloud functions treat all google and third party services as building blocks. We can connect and extend the services to its top level. The integration is really best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/13/2018 "Potential, but has a ways to go." 2.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions? Good, simple integration with other GCP services and Google's DialogFlow voice platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions? Extremely poor cold start times on idle functions that made the service unusable for a DialogFlow-based voice platform production environment. DialogFlow itself mandates a 5 second timeout when calling a backend function and the cold start times on these Google Cloud Functions is often more than 5 seconds, meaning that Google DialogFlow will throw errors trying to call its own preferred and integrated FaaS solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you? Launching a voice-based user interface with DialogFlow.

Web Application Developer Higher Education Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/12/2018 "Simple, Elegant, Powerful - Not mature enough yet" 2.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions? Cloud functions are easy to use, deploy, and are written in NodeJS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions? There is nowhere to put sensitive data! In AWS lambda, you can set configuration variables, but Cloud Functions have no equivalent unless you are using Firebase. This renders them useless in many scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Functions: Be aware that there is no easy way to add environment information of sensitive config data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you? This applies more the the world of serverless computing at large. Cloud functions are cheap, easy, and extensible. There are also a wide range of use-cases where cloud functions are a perfect fit. They cost a fraction of running a VM, and come without the hassle.
