## Reviews

### "Great Platform as a Service Offering" — 5.0/5

> **Christian** | *18 June 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Push to deploy or build out a full development lifecycle pipeline - Heroku provides all the features you need to make it all easy no matter your processes.
> 
> **Cons**: Teams requires paid tier applications and could be free to make collaboration a little easier. It would also be nice to see a GitLab integration added.
> 
> I use Heroku to deploy and host several web applications I’ve built for clients. Some are PHP \&amp; Laravel and some are Python \&amp; Django. I make use of the Postgres add on for all of them as well as the Cloudinary add on for a few.

-----

### "Host your project here for FREE" — 4.0/5

> **Prince** | *27 December 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Version control and building and managing the project through CLI or GitHub with a very seamless process.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes GitHub pushed or deployed is not deployed through Heroku showing errors like Something went wrong which should be checked or solved.

-----

### "Account is blocked and customer support is not responsive" — 2.0/5

> **Wenmin** | *9 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Cons**: Because of a handover issue in the team, we lost access to the authentication app (it's with my previous business partner who dropped out abruptly.) I still have the account and password, but I cannot authenticate my login. That's when I learned that without being able to log in, I could not even contact Heroku support. They reject your email if you don't have an account associated with it.&#10;&#10;It's still okay. I opened an account and submitted the issue. They ask me to provide a long list of very detailed information about the app name, commit hash, associated GitHub account and associated repos in that account, and invoice number and amount, etc. Which still make sense regarding account security.&#10;&#10;The problem is that after I submitted all information, I didn't get any response for days and the charge for the subscription just kept counting. It makes me feel quite helpless. We are not even using this service anymore, it's hard to understand why it is so difficult to pause an account/subscription at least. I hope by posting my review I can get some more active responses from them.&#10;&#10;I have the account and password, I can prove that I'm the owner of the associated GitHub repositories, and I'm even the person who they are billing to, with my personal address and name on the bill. It feels really horrible and I will recommend everyone to use other services regardless of how great the actual product is.

### "Best & Friendly to use for begginers want to host Web Applications" — 5.0/5

> **Balveer** | *30 April 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the user friendlyness of this software, very easy to connect with github \&amp; deploy the application. View logs made it easy to debug the errors, where as in other cloud deployment platform need more technical knowledge.
> 
> **Cons**: Some time I found it little difficult to deploy some of my bigger projects which include databases \&amp; some other operations. And one more thing that I least like is to auto shutdown/restart my application, so that I can save my monthly dyno for letter use.

### "Easy to use" — 5.0/5

> **Efezino** | *9 December 2022* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the key benefits of Heroku is its ease of use. Developers can quickly get started by simply pushing their code to the platform using Git, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. Heroku also provides a range of pre-configured build packs and add-ons that make it easy to add additional functionality to your application.Another strength of Heroku is its flexibility. It supports a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, including Ruby, Java, Node.js, Python, and Go. This means that developers can choose the tools and technologies that best fit their needs, without being locked into a specific stack.
> 
> **Cons**: Heroku can be somewhat expensive compared to other PaaS options. Its pricing model is based on the amount of resources (e.g. memory, CPU) used by your application, and can quickly add up as your application grows and scales. Additionally, some developers may find the platform to be too opinionated, as it imposes certain constraints and limitations on how applications can be built and deployed.
> 
> Heroku is a powerful and user-friendly platform that makes it easy for developers to build, deploy, and manage their applications. While it may not be the cheapest option available, its extensive feature set and flexibility make it well worth considering for any development team.

The solution supports each step of the app development lifecycle, allowing users to build, run, manage and scale projects. Heroku Postgres provides database options at terabyte scale, with dynos (smart containers) to suit each team’s needs, accommodating even the highest traffic apps. Developers can customize their app stacks with buildpacks and add-ons with various features such as logging, monitoring, data stores, and more. Users can deploy apps directly from tools such as GitHub, Git, or CI (continuous integration) systems. Heroku’s web-based dashboard enables users to manage their apps and gain clear visibility into performance.\n\nThe Heroku Operational Experience (OpEx) tool helps users to quickly identify negative trends in the app’s health, and guides them through troubleshooting and remediation of any common issues. A set of tools alerts developers of existing errors, and automatically scale dynos if response times for web requests exceed a specific threshold. Features such as application metrics, autoscaling, and threshold alerting are all included in the Heroku platform.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/092c4416-a9cb-4bf7-a2a8-2be074cbec42.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/113509/heroku","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/113509/heroku#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.6,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":304},"offers":{"price":"7","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Container Security Tools","position":2,"item":"/directory/3792/container-security/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Heroku","position":3,"item":"/software/113509/heroku","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/113509/heroku#breadcrumblist"}]}
