"The product allows users to create multiple development environments.""Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."

More Pantheon Pros →

Cons
"After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services.""In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage."

More Cloud Foundry Cons →

"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP.""Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "IBM has a free tier and payment option depending on the products selected."
  • "You are allocated a minimum amount of resources in the free tier. This seems fair and highly scalable, as you pay per usage as per cloud pricing schemes."
  • "The pricing models should be reworked to the needs of a wider range of companies. Some customers will not be able to afford it until quite a few years into production, even after good PoC results and a successful launch."

  • "The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."

    Cloud Foundry
    Pantheon
    Overview

    Cloud Foundry, home of the open source application development technologies CF Application Runtime and CF Container Runtime, is more than a platform. It’s a flexible way of embracing digital transformation that helps businesses evolve in the face of constant change. To put it another way, with Cloud Foundry, companies can rest assured they will have the right tool for the right job.
