We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions.""Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers.""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.""I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards.""The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data.""I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""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.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support.""The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait.""Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."

Cons
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it.""We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert.""Their support is good, but they can improve their response time.""Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure.""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 have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better.""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.""They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

More Heroku Cons →

"The dashboard is not organized.""Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. .""Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising.""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.""They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.""The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items.""I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
