Google Cloud Functions Reviews & Product Details

I am in the free 30-day review period for Microsoft Cloud Function and it's great to be able to try out the program for free.

So far functionality is great. I'm connecting some APIs to my Wordpress page and it's very user-friendly for a mid-level techie like myself. I use Google suite for just about everything so there's a lot of potential here. I may try my hand at creating some apps now that I have this tool available.

There's a lot here and it's going to take some time to get a grip on all of it. A built-in tutorial would be nice. I have not tried the help section yet. There are some things here that I've never seen before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good, simple integration with other GCP services and Google's DialogFlow voice platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Moving to serverless was one of the best decisions that we've ever made. Because of this we've made accessing our files so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The areas I dislike is some of the UI needs to be updated, as well as it being a bit slower than the previous servers we had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how every one of my documents is accessible cross-platforms and when I’m prepared to download a document from Google, it can be done in a number of popular file formats in a friendly manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, when switching between Microsoft tools and google drive products, the files are adjusted improperly and formatting is lost. That’s very painful to the time crunch many teams face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use this in our everyday jobs in order to share documents and work on multiple things at the same time. This has made it so easy to collaborate on documents, with real time editing/comments and able to share our work. I find this platform very secure in terms that the privacy settings make it easy to restrict others from seeing anything, and you have to be added to be a part of the cloud. Without this software, it would be really hard for us to collaborate the way we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how hard it is to find items in the cloud. You have to do multiple clicking through folders to find items. I wish there was an easier search option in order to find what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I Love the great way that the service allows me to save things in a cloud instead of a memory card or hard drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like how I have to navigate so much to get to the file I desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is integrated within the Google suite so you can open documents, send them by email, or take notes. It is easy to upload files as well as use synchronization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps security can be compromised if two-step security is not activated manually. The payment packages to increase capacity could be somewhat more discounted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cross platform sharing of content of all kinds. Seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating between Google accounts is clumsy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation for Cloud Functions is very comprehensive and contains examples for all occasions. Almost all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be tricky sometimes for an inexperienced person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud functions are easy to use, deploy, and are written in NodeJS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
