Azure Functions Reviews & Product Details

I like best about Azure Functions is how simple it makes coding and deployment, letting me focus on solutions instead of servers. It scales automatically, so I never worry about handling extra demand. The pay as you go model feels efficient and fair, since I only pay for what I use. Overall, it gives me freedom to build quickly without the stress of managing infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about Azure Functions is that debugging can sometimes feel tricky, especially when issues happen in the cloud and aren’t easy to reproduce locally. Cold starts may slow things down when functions aren’t used often, which can affect performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

yes help me a lot when I have to run a function that will help me run a database and build the APIS easier. and implement the database changes more easily to deploy it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yes, that is not free; however, I am happy with this product, which is one of the products that I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things that I like about the Microsoft Azure are firstly the user friendly interface which is understandable to everyone easily, and it is easy to implement the resources which are easily traceable , like all the insights are shown in a very good way making the users to use it frequently, also the integration to the apps is also easier compared to other cloud platforms.

The only thing that i have dislike on is the customer support, its not that bad but they can improve more in providing fast replies to the tickets that are raised by the customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility it gives to implement event driven code with the great automation and microservice integration tool readily available on Azure portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Longer tasks take far longer execution times. Plus it has quite a hassle to debug the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We rely on Azure Functions a lot in our day-to-day, especially for async processing, webhooks, and real-time triggers across our hybrid cloud setup. What makes it a strong tool is how easily it connects with the rest of Azure. You can plug it into Event Grid, Service Bus, or Cosmos DB in no time. No need to write a bunch of boilerplate. Just wire it up and go. That kind of integration saves serious time during builds.

Getting started was smooth. We had our first function apps live in production within a couple of days.The triggers and bindings take care of most of the boring setup, so you can focus on writing actual code. It runs smoothly with both Python and .NET. Terraform works well too, letting us keep track of changes and handle rollbacks without headaches. When it comes to features, it covers everything you need HTTP calls, queue processing, timers, storage events. Scaling happens automatically and is pretty reliable. Cold starts used to be rough but have gotten much better lately, even on the cheaper consumption plan. We did run into a surprise with costs once. One of our functions got stuck retrying over and over, which blew up usage. Microsoft support jumped on it quickly, helped us find the misconfiguration, and got it fixed fast with no hassle. We use Azure Functions every single day. It runs background jobs, triggers event flows, and ties together a lot of our backend systems. It’s part of our standard toolkit now.

The main pain point has been cold starts, especially on the Consumption plan when running Python or Node.js for workloads where low latency matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For processes that run sporadically, it is excellent because we don't have to keep paying for infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is high if the process runs many times in the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to integrate with security mechanisms, supports multiple languages with Windows and linux platform type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They should also include the MAC os as platform, that would open up more doors for Apple developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure is extremely easy to use. Gives you options to choose from a lot of services and host applications with decent pricing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Azure's development is very fast paced. Keeping track of new changes especially UI elements is hard. I wish there was an option to still keep the legacy layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to pick a tool within the platform that I like the most, as it's very comprehensive. However, I really like the integration with Microsoft Entra ID, where you can assign roles to users and also set access rules to resources within Microsoft Azure.

The Azure platform is really quite complete. So far, I haven't found anything I don't like, because it has worked very well in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pay as per usage and auto scaling is the one which i liked much, it will autoscale the application and only pay what i use for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All are good just one slow start or term is cold start is the one which i dont liked much Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
