We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Heroku 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 have many projects where we can resolve a lot of issues with Amazon AWS. It has given customers a lot of visibility with their data. Many customers do not know what they can learn from their data and I provide them with this using useful information using Amazon AWS."
"One of the features offered is scalability on demand."
"It has good reporting and documentation."
"There are a lot of features that I really like including ease of deployment, ease of build and release, and also that it is heavily focused on a PaaS or SaaS model."
"They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company."
"The tool is a hosting platform that we can leverage to open servers. We can use it to build databases. We use cost management and high-performance capabilities of the tool."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"It is very easy to set up. It is also easy to use. It has a lot of services and integrations. We've been able to integrate whatever we need until now."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"Some services that are not used often have poor quality and need to be improved."
"There was some new learning in terms of IOPS on the EBS storage. The concept of burstable IOPS was new and we did have a few outages when we ran out of IOPS."
"The billing should be more competitive."
"Its interface could be better because there are so many services right now in the product that it is quite difficult to navigate around in this. Its interface could be a subject of improvement."
"There's a huge cost for support."
"The solution can get to be a little expensive."
"One of the problems that I have seen is that some of the products are not as mature as others."
"This solution could be improved by a better licensing model, especially for third-party software. Amazon AWS could also potentially be improved by more free storage, but I think that it's okay when compared to competitors' products."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"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."
"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."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
