"Render is the best modern cloud hosting solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Render?

The platform makes it easy to go from commit to deploy with zero setup required. I like how much less setup is required compared to Google Cloud and AWS. The integration with Github is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Render?

The only thing I hope comes soon, is Docker builds straight from a registry! The platform offers a way to do this currently, it just requires a bit of extra configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything I dislike yet; it all seems to work well. It is a speedier alternative to Heroku for bootstrapping a new project quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Refreshing"
5/5
What do you like best about Render?

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.

What do you dislike about Render?

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.
