Render Reviews & Product Details

Ease of use,support and I especially love the pricing model. It is cheaper than a lot of competitors and actually is faster in my testing! I love the UI and interface too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of yet! It would be nice if, when creating a service through a blueprint, that it redirects you to the service once created. Right now it sits there forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Central YAML configuration file works great for more complex project setups. Documentation is excellent, and the pricing is highly competitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The project dashboard takes some getting used to at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is very competitive compared to similar features on heroku. It is simple to use and take away most of the dev-ops burden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation has not handle as many edge cases as other more mature tools, but they answer your email in a heartbeat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Render makes it easy to deploy code without having to deal with all the underlying architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is the amount of effort it takes to migrate from Heroku 😂 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Ease of starting, stopping and suspending a service.

- Private services.

- Auto deployement from git Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The admin panel UI could be a bit better

With Render, whatyou see is what you get. There are no hidden fees, no dark patterns like the big cloud providers to trick you into spending more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't find support for FastAPI, raised it to them and they were very fast in implementing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Infrastructure as code, lets me duplicate hosting for multiple projects

- Cheap - Much cheaper than Heroku

- Databases - Everything is all in one places Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only a few regions so far, but easy to fix! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new auto-scaling support is really great, and deployment/management of databases is ten times easier than Heroku.

Another benefit of Render is how active their founder is on Twitter. It's kind of rare in my experience for someone to be so involved in the community, and seeing Anurag on almost every Render post that I've seen espousing the benefits of Render or addressing concerns gives me a lot of confidence in using the product to solve the needs of my business.

The company is still early on, so they aren't on the bleeding edge with Postgres upgrades, Redis support, etc. However, their roadmap looks really promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent IaC support out of the box. It makes configuring monorepo's super. I launched a docker and static site stack in half an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IaC previews with multiple web stacks become paid plan by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use is hands down the best thing about Render. The docs are incredibly useful also. The free static websites put them over the top! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is all in SF (I think), so if you're in the wrong timezone, it might take a while for them to get back to you. That said, the longest I've waited is 2 hours. Also the docs are excellent so if you pay attention, it's so easy to use the support won't be needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
