We performed a comparison between Heroku and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."
"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"The setup was not simple."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"They could add more features."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
