"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"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."
"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."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"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."
"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."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
