On my opinion, Heroku has two main pros: speed and simplicity. Since I just want to focus on my applications, it's a convenience to have a managed platform that I can quickly push application to. I also like that it offers plugins which further simplify things like mailservers, backups, logging, etc. But, as a con, it is expensive.
