### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.4/5
- Customer support: 4.1/5
- Value for money: 4.1/5

### Rating distribution

- 4 stars: 95 reviews (31%)
- 3 stars: 7 reviews (2%)
- 2 stars: 2 reviews (1%)
- 1 star: 5 reviews (2%)

### Most mentioned pros

- Heroku made it incredibly easy as a small team to build our startup with a lean team of developers and just focus on building the things that matter instead of fiddling with server configs.
- Additionally, the vast plugin ecosystem offers a wide range of options for extending the functionality of my applications, making it convenient to incorporate additional services and features without much hassle.
- It has significantly streamlined my development process and allowed me to focus on building quality software without getting bogged down in infrastructure complexities.

### Most mentioned cons

- I sunsetted its free tier a few years ago, unfortunately.
- Some time I found it little difficult to deploy some of my bigger projects which include databases & 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.
- The only downside to Heroku is the price can grow faster than you might expect - though personally I don't mind this as the amount we save on not having our own devops team easily makes it worthwhile.

### Save time, save money

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Dimitri L.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Software
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: June 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Heroku is a time and money saver for every startup that needs to deploy fast without having a team for it. We saved invaluable resources just knowing that in one click, everything would keep up to date.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Heroku lets us avoid the hassle of setting our own servers, configure and update them. It saves a lot of time and enforces good practices.

#### Cons

The PaaS paradigm can give less flexibility. There are workarounds, but you better rethink how you send mails, store local files or program a CRON.

### Heroku is still one of the simplest and best out there

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Sam D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Newspapers
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Configuring and deploying a system is still about as simple as it's possible to be, their add-ons market makes creating and managing your infrastructure trivial, and the simple push-to-deploy mechanism makes releasing new versions easy.

#### Cons

The only downside to Heroku is the price can grow faster than you might expect - though personally I don't mind this as the amount we save on not having our own devops team easily makes it worthwhile. I can see this being more of an issue for companies who have both an in house team and a Heroku instance.

#### Reasons for choosing Heroku

Configuration, management and troubleshooting would have to have been a manual process with Amazon services (the same would have been true for other cloud services) and this was what I was using Heroku to avoid.

### Best platform for hobby and production apps

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Danilo N.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Internet

- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2020

Best platform for hobby and production apps, great documentation and very easy for ruby/rails apps.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Heroku has a very intuitive and well-organized dashboard, it offers a simple vision of your apps' databases, with tools like backup & restore, access to a console inside the database instance, and simple statistics. The deploy is only a git push to a previously configured remote, and the output is shown just right in the terminal, which is very good because I don't need to open a browser to verify the deploy status.

#### Cons

Therefore the documentation is very complete and full of support links and articles, maybe it could be better suited for junior developers, because some things seems a little out of order, like, they don't say that you need to provision a database instance, but already give you the database setup commands.

#### Reasons for choosing Heroku

Simple of use, free-tier without expiring date, documentation and very easy for ruby/rails apps.

### Easy to Use and Highly Flexible - A Winning Combination

I have been using Heroku for a few years now and have found it to be a great platform for quickly building and deploying applications. It is easy to use, highly flexible, and can easily scale as needed. The only downside is the cost, but for many applications it is well worth it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Heroku is a great platform for building and deploying applications quickly and easily. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, and the service itself is highly flexible and powerful. With the ability to easily scale applications as needed, Heroku is a great choice for those who need a reliable and flexible platform.

#### Cons

The only downside to Heroku is the cost. For larger applications, the cost of hosting can be quite high. Additionally, some features such as database backups and monitoring can be expensive to add on.

#### Reasons for switching to Heroku

When compared to other platforms, Heroku stands out for its ease of use and flexibility. It is much easier to set up and manage than other platforms, and it is more powerful and scalable than most of its competitors. In addition, the support provided by Heroku is top-notch, making it a great choice for those who need a reliable and powerful platform for their applications.

### Heroku is easiest option for deployment.

I'd give 9.5 out of 10 for Heroku. This is the easiest deployment service I have ever seen. Add ons and dyno scaling makes is very good tool. The have nice documentation too in overall.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It is the easiest option for deployment I have ever seen. And the option for addon is plenty. The option for dyno scaling is easy. Also Review app feature from Heroku is one of the most underrated features for them. We user review the app feature for all pull requests and all QA reviews.

#### Cons

It is a bit expensive for a starter and low traffic web application. Most of the time debugging is pretty easy with Rollbar and Papertrail logs but those only works when the app already started. If the app cannot start after deployment it gives H10 error which is very generic and does not tell anything about the error.

#### Reasons for choosing Heroku

Because of the Ease of deployment and review app feature.

#### Reasons for switching to Heroku

Because I needed something easier to use and that was affordable.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Good UX, extremely quick and easy to deploy solutions that need fast go-live. Pricing is simple to understand

#### Cons

We found that for the early stage of our app, heroku handled it good, but as the app grew and we needed more customization, it lacked some features. Also, there was no Brazil based servers at that time.

#### Reasons for choosing Heroku

All in one solution, easy to deploy, clear understanding of pricing.

With Heroku, I can deploy my application with no effort! What I need is to write 1 line config file and focus on my application. I like to deploy my application directly from GitHub, then Heroku takes care of the rest!

#### Cons

The concepts about execution time and price are a bit hard to understand at first.

#### Reasons for switching to Heroku

We have greate Experience with Heroku till now, we have deployed multiple Web-apps through Heroky and they all are running smoothly without any issues. i would highly recommend heroku, they also have few service available for free so one can use it to test their system or can use it to test the Web-app performance.

Heroku is a trusted PAAS provider Available in the market, they support Variety of Programming Languages and databases. one can easily integrate it with any other third party Source control or versioning control software to track the source code and other things. We can use it to deploy modern Web-Application written in various programming languages.

#### Cons

Heroku is a great service provider till now but it is bit expensive at other side, they provides Quality support though but services could be little cheaper. they supports lots of software and tools but i didnt find the comprehensive Documentation to integrate the tools and services they should add documentation for those.

I mainly use Heroku as a free product but would definitely pay whenever I have a need for it. Heroku is an excellent platform for new and heavy users alike. I love the functionality it provides and have not had any issues. Definitely would recommend.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Heroku is amazing for deploying your applications; it's an amazing choice for free and paying users alike. The inclusion of buildpacks, environmental variables, SSL, domains, and more are amazing for customizing deployments. Add-ons also provide amazing functionality for projects.

#### Cons

The only negative I can think of is the lack of logs on the web client; in order to debug my deployments, I have to use the Heroku CLI (which is very good, just annoying to toggle between).

### Best free app hosting service

I've launched several applications using Heroku because it's free. Dinos are a boon since they let me execute basic apps at absolutely no expense. Heroku has been connected with a number of apps and platforms. I have a free Bot deployed on Heroku that tweets a Mars picture every hour. Previously, I considered various options, but nothing beats Heroku.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Heroku provides solutions that make it easier and less complicated to deploy our application. The nicest part about Heroku is that you don't have to deal with the headache of setting up a server, hiring a URL, maintaining proxies, authentication, and so on. Because all connectors use event-bus connectivity, Heroku apps may produce events on our Salesforce platform. Furthermore, it is simple to add additional services and set up numerous settings for testing and development. Pipelines are an excellent tool that significantly enhances new integrations.

#### Cons

I expected the price would fall over time, but that does not appear to have happened. We must have prior expertise choosing which connection to utilise to map our Salesforce object fields to the table and how to monitor its activity. We utilise it to host third-party API integrations with our ERP. If there is no user engagement for an extended period of time, applications can fall to sleep. Setting up environment setup is also a little more difficult than with simpler options.

Heroku has allowed us to focus on our product and outsource the majority of our dev ops workload, which has been highly effective at our (small) size.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

We've been using Heroku since our product launch for much of our backend infrastructure, and we remain absolutely smitten with the fantastic product and support we've gotten. Heroku strikes a great balance between the responsibilities of running everything on bare metal yourself and a more managed infrastructure, and we've been very happy with the trade-offs here. To top it off, their support is phenomenal, and, in the case of highly technical issues, consistently escalate support queries to the right technical person internally.

#### Cons

Heroku can definitely be pricier than running your own show directly on your own servers, or even in a virtualized environment like AWS that's definitely one critique we've seen from colleagues, however in our case that cost is more than justified for what we get in return for it.

#### Pros

* Heroku is one of the best PaaS(Platform as a Service) tool to quickly build the POC(Proof of Concept) or MVP (Minimal Viable Product). * Reduces lots of service setup/configuration time and server charges. * Supports many programming language and server stack. * Deploying code to the heroku platform can be performed by very few command line statements. * Can set up the server to auto scale based on the server load ; This enables our application to handle any spike in traffic. * The support documentation and help guide is very detailed. Most of the problems can be resolved by going through the documentation. * Supports pipeline for continuous code integration and delivery. * Can attach any DB to the container and the DB can be shared across many containers as well.

#### Cons

* Pricing : It can get really expensive as the traffic grows. At one point, it will make economical sense to move out of Heroku and go to the traditional server setup which will be less expensive. * There will be use case where we need to install additional software apart from the standard stack or run a specialized service in the server. This cannot be achieved using Heroku as it does not offer a direct access to the server. Very limited customization can be performed for the container.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I really admire how this product achieves abstraction by using "dynos" on the cloud. I created a NodeJS AI chatbot as a part of my 3rd-year project, the ease of deployment using Heroku-CLI is one of the best things this platform has to offer. I got it hosted using a "hobby" dyno in no time. The continuous integration and deployment with GitHub helped me a lot in testing out my app. I also used this product to host a landing page for an app I made during a hackathon. The whole process took me no more than 15 minutes, which is really great!

#### Cons

I think the price for the "hobby" dyno is a little bit steep. Apart from that, Heroku puts your "free" dynos to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity which leads to slower response time from the server when the app is woken up again.
