What do you dislike about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

If we use all Google services, this is seamless integration that Google provides, but when Amazon's services are used, the integration might be a problem. Amazon's services definitely work, but not at the same level of seamless integration that Google provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BEWARE OF PRICING. "
0/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

The classifications are extremely accurate and the premise behind the service is exciting. I would love this service if not for the absurd pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

The pricing is a complete ripoff. They allow you to submit HTML-based content to be classified, so naturally one would want to submit a webpage to be classified.

Unfortunately, the pricing works as follows: It's ≈ $2 per 1M unicode characters.

An average webpage can easily stretch into the hundreds of thousands of unicode characters. Most of that is junk that you can strip out on your own, like css and html tags. But they apparently don't strip this out, as they let me blow through $500 worth of credits by classifying a few hundred webpages.

For reference, this is about as expensive as getting a human to do that work. You could probably pay a human $10 / hour to classify webpages for you, and they could probably get through at least 60 web pages an hour. So ≈ $1 / 6 web pages. W/ google it's $1 for 5-10 web pages, since each webpage is hundreds of thousands of unicode characters.

It's an *api call*, the marginal cost here is extremely low and there is a completely obvious solution here, which is to STRIP OUT HTML TAGS. You can do this in a few lines of python code.

It would be nice if: 1/ they sent you actual billing alerts to let you know that you are quickly running through credits, and 2/ if they didn't count obvious 'junk' characters towards your billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing NLP based comprehension"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

This is one of the best implementations of Google's amazing NLP capability. This platform gives a direct REST API based interfacing with one of the world's best Natural Language Processing Engine.

It is so good at understanding the user contexts, extract our their intent, the objects, and subject out of a statement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

Being honest, this is google's seamless integration if we use all google service, but the integration might be an issue when Amazon's services are used. Certainly that works too but not that seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great NLP API"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

I really like the fact how it easy this platform makes the entire process of natural language processing. Google has their own ahead trained model which we can access to implement NLP across our applications. This idea is just awesome. I really like their simple REST API based access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Natural Language API?

I think this can be misused to invasively extract information from any data in bulk, but that's not the drawback of the api its the user's fault. Anything can be used in right or a wrong way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
