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."Cloud Management has been a valuable feature."
"They release new solutions almost every quarter and you don't get that kind of innovation from an enterprise company."
"The solution can scale well."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"This solution is used as the basic requirement for any virtual machines use cases, the storage is used for each use case."
"I like that it helps us do everything really fast, and its advanced services."
"I like that it's easy to use."
"It has a lot of new features that make our lives easier in terms of what we want it to do in the house."
"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."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"Amazon support could be better."
"The technical support package for free trial users should be built on and improved."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"The solution could always be further improved on the commercial side of things. Amazon Web Services are not cheap. It would be ideal if it was less expensive for the customer."
"The price could be better. Support for data analytics could be better. I don't see much support for data analytics. They have a lot of support in Azure, but I don't see a lot of innovation on the data analytics side in AWS."
"When I try to enter the multi-cloud, they provide very poor support. Support is a concern with Amazon."
"Integration with in-house applications could be simplified."
"I'd like the solution to be more plug-and-play."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"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."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"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."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
