Pros
"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."

More Caspio Pros →

"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.""Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers.""We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites.""I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards.""One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application.""The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us.""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."

Cons
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."

More Caspio Cons →

"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.""We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert.""The tool's configuration is complex.""Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it.""Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure.""I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely.""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.""We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
