We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides.""I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards.""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.""Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS.""It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things.""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."

"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy.""It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures.""The product is easy to use.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."

Cons
"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 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 doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure.""We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert.""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.""I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."

More Heroku Cons →

"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising.""I would like the product to add more working processes.""The dashboard is not organized.""It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities.""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.""They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time.""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."
