"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"They provide cutting-edge features compared to other cloud vendors."
"The performance of AWS is excellent."
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"We've built several AI ML solutions and done lots of work on the GPUs available on Amazon servers. We did a lot of work around web spidering, natural language processing, and machine learning or deep learning workloads."
"The initial implementation process is not difficult or complex."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."

"AWS could be more scalable."
"In some scenarios, Azure will support hybrid cloud better while AWS offers direct connection."
"There is no control of downtime."
"They should have a better big data stack."
"I think Amazon could improve some of the security or fine-grained access for metadata and many other things."
"In terms of technical features, I don't see anything missing. The only two points in favor of other providers are the price and local support. The main problem that we see here in Brazil is the price. It is much more expensive than any other cloud provider. Their local support can also be better. We get more support from some of the other providers here in Brazil as compared to AWS."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"Configuration could be simplified."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"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."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"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."
