Users consistently praise the platform for its ease of use and quick deployment capabilities, making it accessible even for those without extensive DevOps experience. The intuitive interface and comprehensive documentation enhance the overall user experience, allowing developers to focus on their projects rather than infrastructure management. However, some users note a desire for more region support and additional features as the platform continues to evolve.

nothing really, hoping they continue growing and add extra features like CDN or etc, but for now they do exactly what they promise, and they do it well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loves it"
What do you like best about Render?

The UX is very pleasant and intuitive. An environment available for each Git branch is also very nice to have for testing purpose.

Automatic SSL is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

Render is a relatively new service compared to other PaaS so you might encounter obscure edge cases sometimes but the support is very quick to answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So easy to deploy"
What do you like best about Render?

I really like that Render had pre-configured environments for building a Flask app. Plus, it has deploy hooks for new pushes to Github. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

You can't run tests before deploying (or at least I can't figure it out). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

If you move a repo, it takes reaching out to support to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Render is a more flexible and cheaper version of Heroku"
What do you like best about Render?

* Easy to set up

* You can create private services that aren't exposed to the internet

* You can set up Elixir clusters (you can't do this on Heroku)

* Reasonably priced

* Built in cron jobs are more flexible than Heroku's scheduler options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

Render is still a fairly new service, so it doesn't have as many features as Heroku. Especially around some of Heroku's great Postgres services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not cheap and sometimes you want to pile more things together Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
