User Testimonials
	Cloudflare Workers	Google Cloud Functions
Likelihood to Recommend	Cloudflare There I want to mention three areas where Cloudflare Workers is well suited.1. Its bulk URL redirection is extremely beneficial.2. Its email service optimization helps a lot every business or organization that receives a huge number of emails.3. Its edge caching assists website owners in dynamic content caching. BS Bilal SB Khan Director of Social Media Marketing Read full review	Google Google Cloud Platform Cloud functions are an excellent way to start a serverless journey in GCP, however, using Cloud Run may be the better solution. For users not acquainted with Docker & Linux, I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Functions, however, for more experienced users, Cloud Run may be better suited.

Cons	Cloudflare Limited Built-in Analytics and Monitoring BS Bilal SB Khan Director of Social Media Marketing Read full review	Google Needing a zip file is problematic (when wanting to automate deployment for example). Requires another solution to execute automatically (ex. cloud scheduler). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Cloudflare I give it a rating of 8 out of 10 because the use of this tool has helped us a lot. It enhanced our website performance and scalability. Additionally, it saved a lot of time by using its two features, bulk URL redirection and email service optimization. BS Bilal SB Khan Director of Social Media Marketing Read full review	Google Overall Google Cloud Functions is losing a lot of benefits to other GCP services, making it less attractive to users. A simple example would be the need to zip application files and push them to Google Storage which makes it a bit complicated to automate via a CI/CD pipeline. Another "similar" solution would be using Cloud Run although the need for a docker image is there, with the recent evolutions to Cloud Run (ability to downscale to 0) it makes a lot more interesting.

Support Rating	Cloudflare No answers on this topic	Google Documentation is provided and clear for this service. Although GCP support is included in the current contract we didn't get to use it since the process is pretty straightforward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cloudflare When evaluating, Cloudflare Workers stand out in several key areas. 1. Performance and Latency 2. Cost Efficiency 3. Ease of Use and Developer Options BS Bilal SB Khan Director of Social Media Marketing Read full review	Google No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Cloudflare We have improved load times by using its edge caching feature. It also enhances our user experience. BS Bilal SB Khan Director of Social Media Marketing Read full review	Google Using it for FinOps, we cut the bill in 2 for certain services (out of production).
