Salesforce Heroku Reviews & Product Details

Heroku is one of the best platforms to host your web app. I support almost every possible backend language. Apart from that, you can host up to 4-5 web apps for free on your free tier. And it is very simple to use. If you have a little bit of knowledge about how the git command-line interface works you can easily use this. Alo you can manage your app with the bash terminal and can log if there is any issue or error in the web app. Maintaining and scaling your web app is very simple for you with Heroku. I have personally hosted all my web apps on Heroku. And the documentation is also very clear so there won't be any hassle for you in using this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part of Heroku is how fast I can have a web application up and running, even on a free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of my projects are hosted on the free tier, which goes to sleep after a certain period of no use. When the dyno wakes again it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the webpage to load. While I can't really complain because I'm using the free version, it would be nice not to have to deal with this latency. Otherwise great product all around.

Heroku is an outstanding tool for new users, providing perfectly simple, easy, and rapid early distribution and environment arrangement. It offers easy arrangement, environment confirmation, and simple practicability. The Heroku CLI delivers a great user interface for cooperating with the cloud environment. The metrics involved in Heroku are brilliant as an initial means for analyzing high-level problems. It is an open-source with wide-ranging certification. It offers a general pricing strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some situations, Heroku could not be well-appropriate, because the price could be relatively higher as compared to GCP or AWS when using a few add-ons with more exclusive strategies. The cost of Heroku is not reasonably priced. Though it functions pretty good for smaller organizations, demanding little containers, it becomes very high-priced for larger applications. The value of add-on wholesalers is all the time more inconstant as Heroku enlarges the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to deploy and maintain the code in one place. stepwise instructions mostly help for users to play with the application. database and fast deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

need to improve free domains and new features. need to have a vast community to interact more with the application. pricing is little bit expensive . quality can be improved alot . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have recently started using HeroKu for individual performance review. It gives a clear and crisp dashboard for individual performance. It has been a great tool added to the different tools we use to make sure our employees have a clear path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing in particular, it still hasnt given any issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of cloud-based platforms for rapid deployment now, and Heroku's feature set is as robust as any of them. But it's extensive set of Add-Ons makes it stand apart. Truly, with one click you can incorporate any additional service you can possibly conceive of. Not only are days or weeks of work collapsed into hours, but it makes it possible to try out different options before you commit, bc the investment in setting them up is low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dealing with the lack of persistence file storage is painful, as is upgrading or downgrading the specs of the database. While the pricing for hosting is reasonable, some of the most common Add-Ons are priced a bit high, so costs can quickly add up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and setup - great documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More free dyno hours would be great for start-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I like the most is the ease of configuration and deployment of applications. In just a few clicks and a few commands you can have your app in production and your domain with ssl Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of the hobby plan could be something less... about 3 euros a month would be fair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Salesforce Heroku, is an ideal tool for all types of developers who want to upload their applications to the cloud, you can work as a test error, running the applications, which are in the database of the application, in an environment simulated, for later, when you are sure, they work perfectly, they are uploaded to the network, and they can be online and accessible to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I must be honest, this software is somewhat complicated to use even for advanced developers, many commands and codes may be difficult for many to understand, since they are development environments a little different from those we are already familiar with, apart from this, the documentation of help, which is found on the web, about this program is very limited, a very large help documentation is needed, to avoid wasting time, in the trial and error of the use of the different features, that the application uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of deployment and configuration is a big plus. Heroku lets you build and scale your website (and related components such as Postgres database or a Redis cache) with minimal fuss. There's more add-ons such as scheduled tasks and monitoring. Compared to other cloud providers, it's much easier to learn how to use and deploy your first app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that for a highly complex application, heroku may not offer enough low-level control of the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is a fast, easy, nice and very reliable place to host your server-side apps, node.js, and ruby on rails apps works like a charm. I use HEROKU to deploy my apps, it allows me to store logs, run commands on the server side, clone the entire app and create a new environment, add services to my apps such as Sendgrid, Postgres DB and many many other. It also allows you to create pipelines and set up your environment variables in a very easy going manner over the web tools but also there is the CLI that allows you to do all the actions over the console. The overall service experience is great, once you start working with Heroku, Git will be your best friend since it is the way to deploy your apps. It even provides you with many development environments for your apps like Swift and any other that have some sort of package manager. Last but not least you can manage your project collaborators and ownership over the web manager so you can create your app and add all the members on your development team in no time or you can create an app for your client and once it's finished you can transfer the app ownership to your client. This is by far one of the best services for apps development I'd found in years, it really reduces the development and deployment time, no setup for each app, just the joy of git push heroku master ..... DoneTo gets to start with the services you just need to create the app in the web manager app, which makes it super Easy to use, it is super FAST to deploy and run the apps. It is highly scalable, you can start with a free dyno and scale it over the paid plans according to your needs with makes it very cost efficient. It might replace your git repository but also it is very easy to create several environments for your app in no time with exact clones of it even with environmental variables Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, we do not use Heroku for every project because it does have a high cost. While it is my favorite to use, sometimes it feels like the smarter decision to give up a little bit of the elegant design in exchange for significant savings in cost. The introduction of Hobby dynos awhile back made Heroku a great starting point for fresh apps, but depending on how many users we plan on having, sometimes the cost of staying on Heroku will quickly eclipse other platforms as a service option which while less elegant, still get the job done.

Heroku makes it super simple to get your app running in the cloud with as little fuss as possible. You don't have to worry about the details - with just a few commands you app can be deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating the command line can be frustrating at time and little support for debugging the production environment is supported - expect to rely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku enables any company of any scale or seamlessly manage any web properties they have. For rapid prototyping and testing new features, Heroku more than meets one's needs, and is a perfect solution to rapidly deploying and testing new mobile API back-ends. Whether one has always used personally managed servers or are coming from tools such as AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku is very quick to migrate to and flexible to whatever deployment configuration you have. Its use of Git has been incredibly transformative for our team, as we had all been previously using it Git for all projects, and Heroku closed the loop allowing us to work and deploy from the same system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is more expensive than more traditional DIY hosting options. In the name of ease of use, some functionality is harder to find/employ, but this is more than compensated by the realized benefits of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love its flexibility and ease of use. My colleagues who did not have previous experience with the platform were able to pick it up very quickly. I also love how we can customie the layout easily and continually upgrade our capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's TOO flexible for people who are not excited by technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku Toolbelt makes deployment and maintenance tasks so easy - everything is just a command line away. Almost never a gem compatibility problem, it's a complete plug-and-play. Hobby tier provides sufficient availability for my purposes.

Documentation works great for my needs, and it's supplemented by a healthy user community - I can find answers to most of my questions by just googling them, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It'd be nice to have some kind of a persistent file storage add-on. As things are now, I have to use Amazon S3 for files.

I wish Heroku Toolbelt used one port for everything. I roam a lot, working off of public wireless access points. Depending on their restrictions on TCP, ports you can use, this or that Heroku command won't work.

Also I'm not a big fan of their ElasticSearch add-on, Bonsai, I understand run by a separate company. I had availability issues specific to them, more than with Heroku proper. And when it happened, they would tell me that it's my fault for not subscribing to their more expensive plan.

It'd be nice to have more logs than just the last 1500 lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is intuitive, great UI, support for collaborative development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Salesforce allows only 10000 records to be updated at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A single solution for deploying to the web. We can spend more time improving the product and less on deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have started to notice more frequent downtimes but this is usually associated with other internet outages too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is an incredible, elegant platform for deployment, hosting, and scalability. It's very well documented, has a great user experience both in website and command line form, is well supported by Heroku as well as third-party tools, and has a very set of features. Most of all: No need to be concerned with securing a server itself.

They also provide a fear, single dyno service one can use for testing and micro projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku does have some limitations in the form of a no-write filesystem, forcing developers to use solutions like Amazon S3. It has had some performance issues in the past due to how routing was performed, but Heroku was honest and transparent about the issue and their resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku toolbelt: It makes every thing easy as pie, from profiling a deployed system to switching from local to remote console in order to perform any desired task. It feels just as if one were working on his/her local computer, while performing some very non-trivial remote tasks. Also, the Procfile feature is a must, as I can easily configure additional tests, continuous integration, and run some extra scripts that I might need in order to fulfill a certain task my product my be in need of. Switching from local to my remote deployed system, as well as having many different instances installed at the distance of a simple command text. It's a must to me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steep learning curve. In order to being fully capable of using heroku's platform, one needs to take quite a bit of time to learn its commands and entrails. It did take me a while to really take the time to study it. I wish it was a little simpler so I could have enjoyed its great plugins a lot earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes going from idea to deployed app ridiculously easy. I *always* recommend starting with Heroku to folks starting out with tech like Rails and the Python frameworks. It removes the deployment barrier for these folks to start sharing their code. The lack of require maintenance is also great. If a piece of hardware fails, they take care of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price, which isn't to say it doesn't match the value. It's just that it does add up once you reach a certain level of traffic and complexity. After a while, you reach a juncture where your app is complex enough, you know enough, and the concept is "worth it" (from a personal or financial perspective) to move it to something that is far higher maintenance for (in raw dollars) cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the Heroku platform and add-ons made it easy to build our initial product, and add and remove features as our product and customer needs have evolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is not the cheapest platform out there and it isn't always the most flexible service either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real time sync between salesforce and heroku enterprise. Linking up objects using indirect/external look up relationships so that we can access the data inside of salesforce. Options to limit sync transactions. Creating multiple applications within the same org etc., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation is not an easy task with heroku here as you need to be completely aware of heroku platform and its capabilities.

You need to change some settings on both the sides. But as we have a few trailhead chapters specially for training, it is of a lot of help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup and use. It works as a charm to add new features or plugins. Well documented and easy to understand. Makes development easy since it gives you all the needed resources to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still difficult for me to understand what a dyno is. It is not well documented and I have not seen any good explanation on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that provisioning of any web application or service is very easy. You souldn't learn how to configure the servers or how to customize them to give you the best performance. On Heroku Enterprise you can, also, increase the scalability of any application and the support team is very very experienced and helps you with any thing regarding network issues, downtimes, servers configuration, so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I and my team didn't find any issues or things that we dislike until now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The leader in the emerging platform-as-a-service industry is Heroku, an extensible and well-connected cloud hosting platform that makes deploying and managing applications in several popular languages almost effortless.

It has made great strides since its inception as a Ruby-only application hosting platform to include support for Python, Node.js, Java and PHP multiple languages.

Heroku has a freemium model, and invariably, Ruby enthusiasts who try out Heroku, invariably get hooked on to it and start using more and more resources and move to the premium offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No other services can be run on dynos. Dynos are strictly for application processes. Databases, background workers, and other services usually cost extra through Heroku’s add-ons or third party services.

No way to install system software. Heroku does provide some commonly-used packages such as Imagemagick, but if you need anything else, you’ll have to resort to hacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
