Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"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."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The product is scalable."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"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 would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"There should be more management automation."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
