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 most valuable feature of the solution is that they offer everything around in just one platform."
"We have seen an improvement in our infrastructure, as the code makes it very easy to deploy quickly to AWS."
"It is enough for us in terms of features. We don't have too many transactions, and it is sufficient for our current needs."
"We write a lot of Lambda functions for various services, as well as serverless functions."
"It's quite stable and scalable. The price is good as well."
"The product's scalability is good."
"The most valuable features are load balancers, databases, and S3 buckets."
"The solution scales very nicely."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There should be seminars and online training sessions available from AWS because a lot of people who are not using it would benefit from having the basic knowledge or basic hands-on experience."
"An integrated platform would make it easier for administrators to monitor and manage."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"It just needs to be improved from the security perspective."
"Not all of the functionality is available in Europe and our customers in France want to be able to use features that are only available in the US."
"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"We would like the system documentation for configuring this solution to be improved, in order to provide better process clarity."
"Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students. Microsoft Azure is a better solution."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"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."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"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."
