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 Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
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 Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
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 Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
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 No answers on this topic
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.
