User Testimonials
	IBM Cloud Functions	Oracle Big Data Cloud Service
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM IBM Cloud Functions [is] not the worse product on the IBM cloud. I decided to write this review as I thought it would be balanced. I would still use functions to set up a serverless architecture where execution time is pretty quick and the code is relatively simple. I wouldn't use IBM Cloud Functions for async calls obviously, as costs could be higher. The functions documentation is lacking in terms of CI/CD, and there are unexplainable errors occurring - like the network connection that I mentioned. So I wouldn't just rely on IBM Cloud Functions too much for the entire system, but make sure it's diversified. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle We use it only when we need to and we have found that the software does what it needs to, it's user friendly and us also really helpful in many other ways as well. Like I mentioned before, we love the security and the speed we receive. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	IBM Great substitute for a simple API calls to run non-complicated code. Easy way to run Python/Java/Javascript to get something done. File validation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle User friendly Offers support and assistance Worth the cost Time efficient Good reliability Reliable support Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	IBM Billing can be a hassle, not the most responsive customer service/support team Handles & executes most functionalities, but other platforms offer more scalability if you're seeking consistent and stable growth Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle Less pricey Customizable A little more help in setting up/using the systems Constant upgrades are always pricey Some bugs noticable Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	IBM ICF is a lightweight service and does not require runtime configurations Scalable on demand and hence there is no need to pay for runtime costs Incentivized Badheka, Amit Technology Architect Read full review	Oracle Although new, Oracle has been exceptionally good speed wise and the customer service is top notch Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM It directly affected our expenses since we do not need to deploy and maintain a set of separate applications. It allowed us to pay for only the amount of time cloud functions run. It saved on maintenance and monitoring of the applications it replaced.
