The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

A serverless solution with good performance
Due to RBI guidelines, we're facing issues with billing in India. Credit card payments often get declined even when we try to pay from the backend. Another problem is paying 20 dollars for each new project, even under one account. This seems odd since we already pay for one project with multiple hosts. The tool should improve its support. The time zone difference causes delays in communication, which can significantly impact production websites and servers. I'd rate the platform itself higher, but they still need improvements. They need to work on their billing system and create more understandable plans that clearly show costs based on bandwidth usage. A major challenge we faced was an unexpectedly high bill of 25 lakhs for one month when we usually pay only one or two lakhs (100,000-200,000 rupees). While they showed the bandwidth usage, we lacked support on optimising or implementing changes to reduce costs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."
"One of the great things about Vercel is that we don't need any particular script to deploy our applications. We connect our GitHub repository directly to Vercel. Then, if any push happens in GitHub, we have a script that determines which branch should be deployed to which domain. We can map this according to our requirements."
"I like Vercel because it is very easy to use and deploy. Unlike Firebase, which can be complex to understand, Vercel is straightforward. It also allows you to easily enable analytics, check page speed, and manage SEO meta tags. You can also share the deployment directly. The solution is also beginner-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."
"It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"It is easy to learn. If you want to deploy your site, it's easy to do."
"Vercel is the fastest deployer, and if you deploy your site, it won't have any issues."
"What I like most about Vercel is that it's easy to set up CI/CD. I can get my site running and sharing with just a few clicks. It automatically builds and deploys new code when I commit to my repository. It provides temporary domains for each deployment, making sharing and previewing changes easy. I get three subdomains under the tool that I can use to share my site. I can easily view logs, too. It's great for starting projects, as I can use it for free as an individual. I find it simple to share repositories and deployments with anyone worldwide."
"Vercel is easy to use, and it has a flexible user interface."
 

Cons

"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."
"If I could add a feature to Vercel to make my life easier, I would add a user journey feature for new users. This would guide them with tips on exploring the platform, showing them the routes for deployment and functions they can use. This way, users can understand all the features without upgrading to premium to see their benefits."
"Vercel does have certain limitations regarding the app's size and scalability."
"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."
"I would rate it seven out of ten because there are things missing in Vercel."
"A major challenge we faced was an unexpectedly high bill of 25 lakhs for one month when we usually pay only one or two lakhs (100,000-200,000 rupees)."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve."
"If I could add a feature to Vercel to make my life easier, I would add a user journey feature for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."
"The solution is expensive for React projects."
"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"For most use cases requiring a small amount of storage, Vercel has a storage cap. Once you exceed that, they charge a nominal amount. I don’t think the storage is insufficient; you can use it for a long time."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"The solution's pricing depends on the size of the project."
"Vercel is basically free. It's free of cost for new developers."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"The tool's billing allows 200 deployments per day, but if you want to do more work with the solution, you can opt for the pro plan offered by the tool."
