"Concise and fast way to MVP a server"
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Most of all, it is fast and straight to the point. The best thing about Heroku is not having to go trough the hassle of creating a server, hiring an URL, managing proxies, authentication, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Until 2022 it was possible to test an entire site by simply cloning the code into your Github and syncing to Heroku, but at the end of 2022 the free database attached to the Heroku free accounts were removed, not allowing for even lightweight processing for test, requiring a paid plan for any kind of operation requiring a database.

"Synchronization issues related to our customer connection apps is effectively solved with Heroku"
4/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Salesforce Heroku enables us to build custom applications with high throughput, seamless integration & low latency attributes. All connectors operate through event-bus integration, so Heroku applications are able to create events on our Salesforce platform. To connect with our marketing cloud platform to work with its data, we use the Heroku Marketing connector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The learning curve is steep while working with Salesforce Heroku. We need to have experience in determining which connector we need to use to map our Salesforce object fields to the table & how we can monitor its activity. With sufficient hands-on exposure, we will effectively manage customer connector applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Heroku is the best way to start and scale projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

With Heroku we can quickly scale our solutions when the demands come, with practically zero downtime. Besides, it's straightforward to attach new services and create multiple environments for testing and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The biggest con about Heroku is the price model of some addons, which are not directly related to Heroku itself, in some cases we can see common services like DB hosting costing 2 or 3 times more than in other environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheap and easy PaaS solution to host full stack web applications"
4/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is a PaaS offering for full stack applications, meaning that the frontend, backend and databases can all be deployed via the platform, something which most other platforms like Netlify and Vercel lack. It has a CLI tool, making it easy for developers to quickly connect and deploy their application via the command line, and for less technical users, a GUI which would allow them to do the same. It has a rich collection of add ons like for Postgres, Redis to allow setting up these databases easily, as well as for logs and monitoring. Its complexity is way lesser compared to IaaS solutions like AWS or GCP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku has several limits in its free tier version. You can only deploy a fixed number of applications. Applications can go to sleep if there is no user activity for a long time. Setting up environment configuration is also slightly complex compared to simpler solutions like Netlify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Heoku the PaaS Ninja"
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

I've using Heroku since earlies 2010 since there it has been a long and pleasant journey, Heroku has many features and one I really like is its big market of modules, it CI/CD is fantastic and intuitive, and the support to the most important programming languages, but Heroku doesn't keep there it continues improving and giving you a lot of good features like management logging, and GitHub integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

so far I can't complain about Heroku s its been, I would improve the PHP support for CodeIgniter 4 and incorporate Net Core as an official stack, but in terms of platform for me is the best one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for Salesforce Heroku"
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is one of the best PaaS in the market to meet your 3rd party app or customer portal demands. In our client project, we have integrated Heroku with multiple portals and custom URLs. Also, we have achieved a lot of improvisation in our customer portal with Heroku CLI along with Salesforce CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Our Salesforce custom portal was integrated with Heroku, and with each Salesforce upgrade, we are measuring component and overall page performance. We observed a decline in loading time after each subsequent upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"App & Account cancelled, Heroku still charges me every month for 1 dyno, no way to cancel"
0/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

nothing at all, after salesforce has taken over heroku - it all went to the dump.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

everything. several months ago my app was canceled without any reason given, I have lost access to my paid-subscription account, 2-step authentification I had to set recently - isn't even an option, when I log in it tells me no such user, and when I try to alter my password - it tells me the password is wrong, so the user must be there.. i contact support every week, it's my monday-morning tradition now, I ask them to stop charging me for the 1 x $7 dyno I've been subscribed to for my app, and nothing happens, they have NEVER replied my emails, it's really ridiculous, I simply have no way of canceling a subscription, short of replacing my credit card...
