"Loves it"
5/5

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.

"Render is a more flexible and cheaper version of Heroku"
5/5
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.

"Render makes infrastructure simple so you can focus on your product"
4.5/5
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.
