Heroku vs IBM Public Cloud comparison

"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

"The product is stable."

"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."

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

"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."

"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."

"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."

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

"What I like most in IBM Public Cloud is how easy it is to create serverless functions. They are called IBM functions, but in AWS, they are called Lambda functions. Those are pretty standard, and another thing I like the most is that you have fewer restrictions on the amount of data you can transfer across those functions. IBM Public Cloud is way more flexible than AWS. I also like that IBM Public Cloud is pretty straightforward to integrate. As long as you have all the tools IBM provides you, getting everything up and running is straightforward."

"It provides robust analytics and management tools to give customers complete visibility into their environment and infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature of IBM Public Cloud is the AI integrations."

"The availability is second to none. Customer support is very good."

"This is a predictable and dependable service."

"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."

"I've found the stability to be excellent. The performance is good."

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing could be improved because scaling the database becomes costly."

"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."

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

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

"Maybe performance enhancers and reports could be better improved. If they do so, it would be better. Of all the drawbacks I saw, this would be the biggest enhancement."

"It could be more secure."

"There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved."

"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."

"Normally, for any cloud, we get a lot of information on the web, but that is missing in the case of IBM Public Cloud. We need some technical support documents. That is the only thing missing in IBM Public Cloud."

"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."

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

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"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 tool is free."

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

"It pretty much has a standard price. There is no hidden price with IBM Public Cloud."

"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."

"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."

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