AppFog (discontinued) vs. Public Cloud

It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

Best suited for environments where there are standard processes and no scope for customization and not suitable for industries where the business processes are dynamic and prone to changes frequently. Also, where the users are already experienced or users of SAP would help to easily help to adopt the cloud approach.

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.
