Heroku vs IBM Public Cloud comparison

"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 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."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."

"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."

"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."

"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."

"It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup"

"The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized."

"It's straightforward, has a good environment and is cost-effective."

"This product is very good because it is accessible in remote locations, and anyone can deploy from any place."

"For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors."

"An advantage of IBM Public Cloud is the bare metal server. We can take the bare metal server. It's not shared with anyone. We can deploy our applications without sharing them with anyone. That is an advantage of IBM Public Cloud."

"There is no installation for this product because it is a cloud product."

"The beauty of cloud service providers, especially public cloud service providers, is that they are scalable every time when you need them because their payment model is pay-as-you-go."

"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."

"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."

"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."

"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."

"The tool's configuration is complex."

"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."

"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

"The product should offer more computing, similar to Amazon."

"They do not have a very good virtual network implemented, and the VPC is the most important feature that needs to be improved."

"While they have about 99% of what we need, the only exception, perhaps, was the push notification feature that was discontinued. They delayed the replacement product."

"It could be more secure."

"An area for improvement in IBM Public Cloud is getting up-to-date information on how to set up everything. It's hard to find new documentation."

"The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right."

"The solution needs to be more autonomous. It should let the DL go to allow for more jobs on the cloud. It could have a better interface as well."

"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution."

"The tool is free."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"There is a standard fee for a processing unit, they call them "dynos," and then you pay for add-ons."

"Its price is very good."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"We are using the trial version of this solution, so we have not paid anything."

"Pricing is not as fair as Amazon or Azure."

"In order to be competitive, you have to commit to a contract for at least one year, but you pay a fixed monthly fee."

"IBM Public Cloud is pretty cheap. They have an ongoing free tier that basically won't expire, so as long as your solution is small enough, you can have a test set that you can use for demos, which will cost you almost nothing."

"The licensing fees are straightforward and predictable."

"IBM has a lesser price compared to other cloud service providers like Azure and AWS."

"The price of IBM Cloud is very cheap compared to competitors AWS and Azure."
