What do you like best about Engine Yard?

I like the Engine Yard system because by this we can manage our apps by this system within a short time and also by this software we can deploy the apps. I choose Engine Yard because it removes the concern from our Ruby on Rails IT support environment. It also provides support to AWS services which is very beneficial for our IT workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Engine Yard?

Engine Yard cloud-based system is best for the apps management and deploying, but it needs high bandwidth connection and also its interface is too old and is very bad. I dislike this system due to that the Troubleshooting and configuration process is very awkward and confusing. Some common things or options can be hidden on the dashboard due to high traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Engine Yard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Engine Yard system is cloud-based and this system is too fast and easy to manage all apps. If we need any help, then we can get help from the support section in no time. We can install the PHP and Node.js environments in any other language easily on it that we want for our app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Engine Yard?

Engine Yard is a fine software and has helped our organization in various ways. We used this product and it helped us in creating an application with much ease. Now my team and I are fully dependants on Engine Yard’s team in order to make our application platform up and its team is so supportive and we never felt alone in this as they are always there to help us and because of it we have seen how glad our customers are now .it also provided support of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and given us a wonderful experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Engine Yard?

There is no such point to dislike as we loved using it but all that bothered us is its high price as compared to its rivals. Because of its price we found it unaffordable. We think they should decrease their price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Engine Yard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Engine Yard is a good product for all companies like ours. It helped us in creating an application with much ease and we have found its expert team so valuable and always behind our back.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Engine Yard?

Their product and support is excellent for companies without devops experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Engine Yard?

They promised me that I could stay on a grandfathered plan, but then changed their mind and are trying to force me onto a newer plan that is 300% more expensive.

They also suggested I could bring my own Amazon EC2 credentials and realize some savings by reserving Amazon instances. Then after a month of dithering and non-response, they told me they don't want to offer that feature anymore. Still haven't received a decision from them after a month an a half. Very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Engine Yard:

Get your terms of service in writing (especially the fees and contract length). They've made promises to me on the phone that they later reneged on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Engine Yard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Engine Yard lets us focus on building our app, and leaves the DevOps worries to their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Serious rails hosting for only serious businesses. Entry level price point is too high for most users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
