We performed a comparison between Heroku and Jenkins based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"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."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"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."
"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."
"It is open source, flexible, scalable, and easy to use. It is easy to maintain for the administrator. It is a continuous integration tool, and its enterprise version is quite mature. It has good integrations and plug-ins. Azure DevOps can also be integrated with Jenkins."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment. We can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"It's very easy to learn."
"It can scale easily."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"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."
"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."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"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."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms."
"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."
"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."
"Jenkins could improve by adding the ability to edit test automation and make time planning better because it is difficult. It should be easier to do."
"Tasks such as deployment, cloning, database switchover, and all other database missions and tasks are being done through Jenkins. If a job does not go through, at times the error message does not clearly indicate what caused the failure. I have to escalate it to the Jenkins DevOps team just to see what caused the failure. If the error message is clear, then I wouldn't have to escalate the issue to different teams."
