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."Technical support is quite helpful."
"The services that we are using have frequent updates, at least twice a year. They provide a new version that has more capabilities or features that fit our process and procedures."
"I like the technical support."
"The ease of use is the biggest benefit."
"With the pay-as-you-go model, we don't have to predict future IT needs. We can just scale up as we want. That helps with a lot of agility in deploying stuff in our IT infrastructure."
"We have many projects where we can resolve a lot of issues with Amazon AWS. It has given customers a lot of visibility with their data. Many customers do not know what they can learn from their data and I provide them with this using useful information using Amazon AWS."
"There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself."
"This solution is used as the basic requirement for any virtual machines use cases, the storage is used for each use case."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"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."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"Like anything, Amazon AWS has room for improvement, but it's not bad."
"I think that the interface could be improved."
"As far as the automation is concerned, the backups should be scaled."
"Some of the storage services could be cheaper."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology. If you don't stay up to date with the technology and its latest changes then you won't know what to use in your infrastructure."
"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"Some services that are not used often have poor quality and need to be improved."
"I'd like to see integration with MySQL."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"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."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
