Overall Satisfaction with Heroku
Heroku is being used by several of our departments to host their backend in the cloud. We primarily utilize their computing solution and their postgres database solution as part of our cloud infrastructure. These workloads are not heavy, but they were inherited from existing teams.
- Easy integration with the other Salesforce products.
- Has similar if not better features then other cloud providers, but has the advantage of being less development intensive.
- Quick and easy provisioning of commonly used resources.
- The cost can be quite high even for small resource consumption.
- Support can be enhanced upon as it's similar to other Salesforce products.
- There tends to be a lot more maintenance required than other providers.
- We have had easy integration with our Salesforce products.
- Makes us review our use vs. cost of the platform as we use it more.
- Like other cloud platforms, Heroku allows us to experiment quickly with ideas.
We chose Heroku solely because we had an end goal of putting our data into Salesforce. The platform allowed us to simplify this.
