"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"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."

"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One area that could be improved is in data management. They could improve on the data side. For example, I see others with better cloud services and larger data computing capabilities."
"The billing should be more competitive."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"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."
