"I am happy with the dashboard."
"The product's scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the S3."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"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."
"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."

"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."
"User personalization and robotic process automation services need to be mature enough. More APIs are required for robotic process automation services. Azure is more mature in terms of user personalization and robotic process automation services. The document processing can also be better. Whenever we want to do any kind of document management, I try to do OCR, ICR, etc. The functionality in AWS has to be more like that."
"Amazon AWS should integrate AI capabilities."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"They should have a better big data stack."
"IAM only gives you one chance to capture your key."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"I would like to receive some alerts when my consumption is getting out of the normal range."

"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"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."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"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."
