"Easy integration, language support: For minimum requirement or simple API, it is the best thing to start with. Easy testing up with inbuilt functionality to test lambda function with custom input types. Major development language support like Python, nodes.js etc.
It has various and all major trigger type available in AWS service e.g S3 and many more.
The best cost-effective lambda function in the market.
Sometimes the trigger on s3 fails to invokes, particularly transcribe job."

"Run and scale your code painlessly. The best PaaS out there.: Google app engine allows you to focus on writing on your code without having to worry about all the underlying infrastructure. This allows for a "code first" mentality. Developers can focus on building applications without having to worry about things like dependencies. App Engine seamlessly connects to other Google services such as data store and cloud SQL. Best of all, app engine can scale as required and can even scale to zero in order to avoid incurring charges. If you want more control over infrastructure, you can switch to app Engine flex and modify the underlying infrastructure as required."

"Specifications with good function: I have the monitoring of the conversations I make with the clients so that when I return to speak with them I visualize that I talk to them and continue on the same topic as well as I have all the commercial information of each client more ordered and specified
It helps to simplify processes by all the collected information that has to adapt very well to the needs of the client and thus to have the happiest clients of our fast and safe processes
With the integration of Pardot saves me hours of work by its synchronization of tasks that can be executed"

"Zoho Creator is an easy way to create forms: A user can start working with Zoho Creator in about ten minutes. It is very intuitive and requires very little configuration. Every time I need to collect data, Zoho is my application for the creation of forms, and it is easy to distribute the forms in a secure way by means of a link, a password or to embed them in another site. Zoho has excellent customizable workflows if you are able to handle minimal programming.
If you can devise an application, a business workflow, a business data scenario or anything else, Zoho Creator can handle it. They have previously created applications that can be modified to suit the needs of your business application, or you can create applications from scratch. Basic applications with basic workflow or notifications can be set in minutes. Creator integrates very well with other Zoho applications.

"Amazing server software the beats cPanel: We use Plesk to manage all our website projects and it is absolutely amazing! It has a ton of extensions and built in plugins that make it easily extensible to fit any business' needs and to manage multiple projects each with their own separate needs! The language support alone has made it way better than cPanel, but the features overall put it leaps and bounds ahead in my opinion! "

"The fastest way to expand your software stack: There are a lot of cloud-based platforms for rapid deployment now, and Heroku's feature set is as robust as any of them. But it's extensive set of Add-Ons makes it stand apart. Truly, with one click you can incorporate any additional service you can possibly conceive of. Not only are days or weeks of work collapsed into hours, but it makes it possible to try out different options before you commit, bc the investment in setting them up is low."

"1 year with dokku as a platform for staging and internal services: It is really fast way to setup bare server as development/staging environment. It especially good, if your production environment will use some similar technology stack, for example deis/flynn
It has nice plugin system with a huge number of plugins for daily use: Postgres, Maria DB, Mongo, Redis everything works out of box.
Just like heroku, it really simple to deploy with single 'git push', all things happens magically."

"Ridiculously scalable micro-processing power: It is insane how easy it is to start developing in Azure functions, and how amazing the payoff is. If coupled correctly with any of the Azure BUS or queue services, you don't even have to worry about developing usually annoying behavior like concurrency or multithreading - Azure functions handles huge degrees of parallelism."

"Git-based hosting deployment without the devops headaches and a ton of versatility.: The architecture and flexibility of Platform.sh is up there with the best. It's great to be able to use composer to manage dependencies and have a containerized system that builds those dependencies on each deploy. It's what you, as a developer, would build for yourself if you had the time. But really it's better because you don't have to build or maintain it.
There isn't much that can't be done, even compiling your own PHP extensions in your instance!
The documentation is thorough."

"Anaplan Implementation: Once you get your head around it, it is a simple modelling tool that understands time and data structures. The more time spent planning it before diving in the better your end result will be. We all want to dive into new technology and I'm a firm believer of the 'play with a product to learn it' approach but on this one planning is worth the time spent ten times over."
