"Render makes infrastructure simple so you can focus on your product"
What do you like best about Render?

Simple to set up, while having enough configuration available (via infrastructure as code) to satisfy our needs. Tonnes of guides for various tools and frameworks. Feedback driven and super helpful support on Slack 💯 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

Nothing I dislike, just features that I'd love to see added: audit log for teams, mandatory 2FA for teams, restrictions on who has permission to modify / delete the database, and horizontal database scaling (like on RDS with a cluster of read replicas). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lot's of value for a relatively low price.

Easy to use application.

What do you dislike about Render?

While new features are being added and the offering is also quite solid on its own, Render could have more integrations with other systems.

Some additional metrics would be nice-to-have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
