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.

What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

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.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

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.

"Very good UI and plugins. A bit expensive compare to others"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

It's quite simple.to create and configure an entire pipeline.

The UI is pretty simple and useful. You can perform almost any action: start/stop an application, group some apps in a pipeline, perform a rollback to a previous version with jist one click, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

It's a bit expensive.

An x1 instance (512MB and 1 core) costs 25 euros per month.

If your applocation needs 1GB of primary memory you'll need to pay 50 euros per month.

In my opinion it's not as cheap as other platform, like digital ocean. However it's true that Heroku is a PaaS so it offers more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Interesting Tools. A Different way to work"
4/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The best thing that I Like about Heroku is once you do the changes and adds on the project to connect to the Data Base, You can work locally as server with the same Data Base. It is a very practical way to work, and you do the push to heroku master when you think it is necessary that all features are build in a correct way to check on web.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Something that really dislike is the missing points of documentation to get a correct way to develop a project, specially on Django/Python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Hands on platform, very rapidly deployable."
5/5
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

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.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

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.
