Vercel Reviews

I use the solution to deploy my portfolio website. 

I like Vercel the most for its ease of use, especially with Next.js. Its UI is user-friendly, and the solution is easy to learn. I was a beginner when I created my portfolio website with the tool. 

I have seen a bottleneck in Vercel regarding socket servers. According to their documentation, Vercel doesn't support WebSocket. While Vercel is great for creating a cloud application, if you need socket operations, the current platform won't accommodate that. I would like the Vercel team to add this feature.

I have been using the platform for three years. 

My portfolio website was based on Next.js. The Vercel team is part of Next.js, so it was my best option. If I had to deploy a React application, I would have had to add a lot of configurations, especially for the server part, which can get messy. That's part of the reason why I chose Vercel.

The tool's deployment is easy. 

I use the solution's free version. 

My portfolio website draws only around 200 visitors. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

I wouldn't recommend Vercel for a serverless static page. If we are looking at a production level, maybe a cloud platform that is being used by a lot of users, then I would suggest Vercel because it comes with its own pages, like analytics and insights. So I think it would be better if we were using it for a large customer base. But I would not recommend it if it's for a small project.

I use Vercel mainly for deploying Node.js and Flutter applications, though it can handle many different types of applications, such as Python and Django. Vercel gives us a serverless deployment flow.

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.

I've been using the solution for a while now, and while I haven't encountered major issues, there is room for improvement. The main problem I've noticed is with the error logs. They often lack information and only indicate that a file is missing without specifying the actual cause of the error. This makes troubleshooting difficult, as running the app locally might show the error in the console, but on Vercel, it just crashes without providing useful details.

I have been using the product for three to four years. 

I haven't got much traffic on the website. Hence, I haven't faced any stability issues. 

I use the documentation, FAWs, YouTube videos, and friends for support. It offers faster resolution.  

I chose Vercel over Heroku because I found Heroku too complex, especially when setting up pipelines and workflows. It used to work fine, but many features became paid. Vercel, on the other hand, is easy. Even someone without coding knowledge can import a repository and make it live. In comparison, other platforms often require some programming knowledge.

The solution's deployment is straightforward. You need to import the remote repository from GitHub or any other source, and then you can deploy the code with two or three clicks.

I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members. 

If you asked me whether to use Vercel, I would recommend it. Based on my experience over the past three to four years with both Heroku and Vercel, I can confidently say that Vercel is much simpler. You don't need much technical knowledge; Vercel guides you through the process, making it easy to use.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

I build full-stack applications. For backend technology, I use Python Jango. So, for the backend application, I use Vercel for deployment. 

Vercel's real-time global deployment positively impacted our project delivery.

Vercel is easy to deploy. We don't have to set up any servers or something like that. We just have to configure the server in Vercel and it takes care of it. 

There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs. 

It just gives a single sentence. It is not good. What error is causing in the terminal or console is not explained properly. 

I've been using Vercel for six months.

It is pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs. 

We have around 10 to 15 end users. 

Once I reached out to the support. It was an issue with the domain setup. 

The experience was okay, neither good nor bad. 

Neutral

Other solutions are not stable. Vercel is the only situation, giving good features and performance.

It is pretty cheap for the features it offers. 

If someone wants to use Vercel for the first time, I recommend it.

There are some prerequisites to using Vercel. For example, if someone knows how server configuration works, they can easily use it. 

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I install Vercel for my clients only for backend purposes.

The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance.

I have been using Vercel for three years.

Vercel is a very stable product, and I haven't experienced any bugs with it.

Around nine people are using the solution in our organization.

The solution's initial setup is easy and I didn't face any issues with the installation.

The solution's pricing depends on the size of the project. It will cost more money if you use it more.

Vercel has a very good community that helps us solve our issues quickly. I have used Vercel's real-time global deployment in my local projects. Vercel is a very user-friendly solution, and new users can go through its documentation to learn to use it for the first time.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I have primarily used the product to deploy Next.js applications.

The platform is very user-friendly. It provides continuous integration and continuous deployment capabilities. It allows for direct hosting and application updates from GitLab or GitHub repositories.

The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy.

I have been using Vercel for approximately four years.

Overall, there have been no significant downtime issues with the platform's services.

I have never had to contact the support team. I have not found it necessary. However, the community support is very strong. Many solutions are available on platforms like Stack Overflow.

The initial setup and deployment process is easy. The platform also offers easy domain name pointing. 

Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous.

The product is easy to use. I recommend it to others and rate it an eight out of ten. 

I used Vercel for hosting my website.

The most valuable feature of Vercel is the custom domain. You can change the solution's environment variables. Vercel is easy to use, and it has a flexible user interface. A good feature of Vercel is that we can host our website from GitHub. Other hosting platforms require a project build. Vercel doesn't require a project build but automatically converts our projects.

I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects. To resolve the error, I had to add some keywords and code to my project, which was difficult for me. It would be good if the Vercel dot com is removed from the customized domain.

I have been using Vercel for two years.

I haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.

I have previously used Netlify and GitHub for the front end.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The solution is expensive for React projects.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Vercel to create websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the Next.js app.

Vercel is easy to use and not as complex as AWS.

Vercel cannot handle big projects like shopping applications.

I have been using Vercel for one year.

Three to four people in my team use Vercel for deployment.

The solution's initial setup and domain binding are easy. You can purchase the domain on Namecheap or GoDaddy, and then we can easily bind it in Vercel.

Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS.

Vercel is an easy-to-use platform, and we can easily deploy the app. Recommending Vercel to users would depend on their project. It is very easy for somebody new to learn to use Vercel for the first time. The solution is best for static websites and small projects.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

I use the solution for the analytics and deployment of my project. 

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. 

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.

I have been using the product for two years and eight months. 

I haven't encountered any bugs while using the solution. However, some APIs only worked locally, and they broke down after deployment. This issue has been fixed. 

My company currently uses Firebase for deployment because it uses Google Cloud services. Personally, I use Vercel. I chose Vercel because I was exploring deployment platforms on the Internet and came across a YouTube video and an article about it. After learning about Vercel, I started exploring it and have since deployed many personal projects on it.

The tool's deployment is very easy. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. Although Vercel is very user-friendly and easy to understand for deployment, we still haven’t fully explored some features. It would be helpful if Vercel had more guidance or pop-up tips to help users discover and understand all its features.
