"It scales well and is flexible."
"It is highly available and on-demand. So, you can scale up and scale down whenever required."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"The AWS documentation is written in a way that is not very intuitive. That's an area they can improve."
"Customer access to APIs is limited so that logs cannot be checked properly."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"They have a low code platform, but it is for intervention."
"Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features."
"Monitoring still needs to be improved."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"The pricing could be a bit high at times. It's something they could improve upon."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"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."
"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."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"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."
