## Engine Yard Reviews
  ### 1. Fantastic product and technical support, frustrating dealing with their "success managers"

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Greg Matthew C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Engine Yard?**

Their product and support is excellent for companies without devops experience.

**What do you dislike about Engine Yard?**

They promised me that I could stay on a grandfathered plan, but then changed their mind and are trying to force me onto a newer plan that is 300% more expensive. 

They also suggested I could bring my own Amazon EC2 credentials and realize some savings by reserving Amazon instances. Then after a month of dithering and non-response, they told me they don't want to offer that feature anymore. Still haven't received a decision from them after a month an a half. Very frustrating.

**Recommendations to others considering Engine Yard:**

Get your terms of service in writing (especially the fees and contract length). They've made promises to me on the phone that they later reneged on.

**What problems is Engine Yard solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Engine Yard lets us focus on building our app, and leaves the DevOps worries to their platform.
