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."The solution also helps organizations to move applications to a containerized platform."
"Amazon AWS is very stable."
"It has good reporting and documentation."
"Security, quick deployment, and scalability are the top three features for me."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"Machine learning is a valuable feature."
"The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately."
"Scalability is one of the biggest benefits we have."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"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."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"The technical support package for free trial users should be built on and improved."
"I'm not an expert on the product, but if I had to suggest one improvement, I know a feature that would allow a person to backup his on-premise solution to the cloud directly with one click would be useful. This solution should be agnostic because sometimes a product that was backed up with Veeam is highly compatible with Commvault. I think it would be better if these backup features were agnostic. Viewing a build could also be improved. It's not easy to follow up on your consumption and see how much you're paying and how much you will be paying. Viewing the build could be more clear."
"The availability could be better."
"There's a huge cost for support."
"Accessing apps on AWS via my iPhone is awful."
"AWS should provide even more support and engagement to accelerate the adoption of new services and features."
"AWS support could be better."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"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."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
