(1 reviews) ## Salesforce Heroku Reviews ### 1. Heroku, your accelerator to an omni-channel marketing experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert M. | Head of Global IT Digital Enablement, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** An amazing and developer friendly tool that can be used for multiple use cases... cloud storage, activity orchestration for multi-channel marketing efforts, etc. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Difficult to find qualified and experienced developers that feel comfortable working in Heroku **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Main use case is our multi-channel aggregator, connecting all our engagement tactics in one single space ### 2. The best choice on the market for managed services **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Márk P. | Head of Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The development pipeline, and the app marketplace. You can literally deploy your app from staging to production in just one click. Also, you can link a new database or any service your app needs in just a click, like loggers, monitors, etc. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The only downside of heroku is the lack of native rust lang running. You can run a lot of languages natively on heroku like go, python, node, java, but not rust. Our team using rust more often, and we would like to deploy rust code on heroku without docker. Currently we have to dockerize it to run on heroku **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Like any other service, you can't tell if heroku will be good for you, if you don't try it. Start your next project by deploying it to heroku staging, and manage the pipeline via heroku pipeline. You will see the benefits real fast. Also it is fairly cheap if you compare it with other managed solutions on the market. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** The CI is just amazing. We don't have to worry about databases and other services, we just add one from the marketplace and we're done. We have reduced our devops hours by 75%. ### 3. Best free hosting platform. Incredibly easy to use. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** It's completely free and really great for small scale apps. It does put your app to sleep and reboot takes time but it's just 4 commands to get set up with and completely free. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The reboot. Unfortunately they put your app to sleep if it's unused for a while and reboot takes a while. This is only on the free version though. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Nothing much! It's very easy to set up so I'd definitely recommend trying it to see if it fits your use case. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Deploying websites! Benefits are that I'm able to have a full stack MERN app deployed for free! ### 4. The only free hosting service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Being students, we don't have enough money to host our project. Heroku gives us that benefit with its free subscription. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** If we ignore the free version, it's a bit expensive. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Again. it's a bit complicated for beginners. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** My hosting problem. No other provider gives a free hosting service. ### 5. Fantastic platform to deploy project to both free and paid plans. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Very reliable service with excellent support for different platforms. I especially love the free tier for development projects. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Not the biggest fan of some of the set up that is required, but overall pretty easy. The free tier has Dynos that will sleep and it can take a while to wake back up **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Deploy one off experiments as well as full commercial products to the service. Once things are set up it just makes it easy to experiment and try things in a live environment. ### 6. Heroku the best place to host you webapp **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sudhanshu M. | Full stack web developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku is one of the best platforms to host your web app. I support almost every possible backend language. Apart from that, you can host up to 4-5 web apps for free on your free tier. And it is very simple to use. If you have a little bit of knowledge about how the git command-line interface works you can easily use this. Alo you can manage your app with the bash terminal and can log if there is any issue or error in the web app. Maintaining and scaling your web app is very simple for you with Heroku. I have personally hosted all my web apps on Heroku. And the documentation is also very clear so there won't be any hassle for you in using this product. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** There is nothing to dislike about this software. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Yes **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** After using this it was very easy to host my web apps like node, react, flask, etc. And maintaining and managing them had also become very easy. This was the first platform that I used and it so much suited me that I did not think of changing this anytime. ### 7. Heroku allows you get up and running fast. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The ease of setting up; It is a very straightforward process to set up Heroku and start developing. Since it is cloud-based, we don't need to set up any hardware that allows developers to create a killer application. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** So far, there's nothing that I dislike about Heroku. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were working with the contractor to develop a web application, and we didn't want to set up another on-site server; hence we tried Heroku. ### 8. Using Heroku to assess and deploy software installments. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku makes billing and oversight easy while allowing many different deployments. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** There isn't much to dislike, the deployments are super easy and the interface can easily be understood. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're conducting software deployments and building an app, and using Heroku has made that process very easy. ### 9. Abysmal and predatory practices. A large beaucratic mess. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anthony C. | CCO & Co-founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** It's easy to set up and does what it says on the tin generally. Easy enough PaaS provider. The problems arise when you have contractual issues or need support... **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Long story short, they will try to trap you with contracts - for example, rolling an annual contract even if you're talking to support ahead of time about amending or cancelling it. Do not trust them or rely on good faith. In true American style, common sense, compassion and clear business need cannot supercede their contracts and hunger for money. You can try and fight them afterwards, but when &^%$ hits the fan and you need to reason with a human being, it will not happen. Our case detailed below: We have been terribly hit by Covid (travel tech business) and so our traffic fell off a cliff a month or two before our contract renewal was due. We were actively in discussions with their team about how we could adjust our usage accordingly. As we were coming close to a resolution that would save us a load of cash, they suddenly said 'oh, too late, your contract has rolled over so we can't make any changes, you have to pay for x dynos even if you don't use them'. We pointed out that this was ridiculous, given that we were literally talking to their support team when it happened. Feeling fed up, we researched alternatives and had an option available that stood to save the business an amount that could be crucial to our survival. After explaining this to our rep and asking what reasonable provisions there were to simply pay for what we'd used and end the contract (which shouldn't have been rolled anyway) they immediately jumped to threatening us and saying that if we didn't pay for the full contract then they'll send debt collectors! We found this highly inappropriate and asked to speak to their manager. What followed was a circus of escalations and beaucracy, all amounting to different levels of people blaming processes as to why we couldn't simply pay for what we'd used and cancel the contract (which, again, shouldn't in good faith have rolled in the first place). Eventually they offered a very small concession (we'd still have to pay for more than we were using) but no reasonable exit provisions. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Do not use it. They do not value customer experience over enforcing contracts and making money in the short term. If you must, be EXTREMELY careful of their contracts and roll-over dates. Even if you're in active discussions to cancel/amend with their support, their roll-over dates are still iron-clad. Bear in mind that they will NEVER let you exit a contract, even if a once in a lifetime global pandemic pauses your business for a year and you're making 0 revenue... **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** PaaS is relatively useful, avoids dev ops hires - though AWS has low-management options now-a-days. ### 10. Excellent service—great for getting up and running, but not cheap **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gavin M. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Ease of use. Heroku saves us a lot of time in creating and deploying new apps. Their marketplace for additional resources is very powerful. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The Heroku CI service is fairly limited, and I've had a hard time getting it to work well with a couple of our main apps (CircleCI and Travis work fine) **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Heroku is great. It allows single developers or teams to get on with a project, and get it launched, without too much hassle at all. But it can start to get quite expensive quite quickly. Once you start to see substantial traffic on your site, you're going to have to ask yourself whether your budget should focus on more dynos, more code optimisation, or a different platform. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We ship web apps for our own projects and for clients all of the time. Heroku takes a lot of the effort out of that. Their auto-maintenance and auto-deploy services really do save us a lot of time and effort ### 11. Best salesforce application **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** We can build our App very quickly, 26 billion requests per day. We can build, deploy and run our App very easily. It will be more secure and protected ecosystem. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** It is a Salesforce alone platform tool to build Salesforce applications. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Heroku is very helpful to build highly large data applications. ### 12. Heroku **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Its allows built application easy with a different type of programing language **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** License cost Minimal language support low network performance **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Integrate third-party website with Salesforce Connect database with a single click with the help of plug in ### 13. SFDC Heroku **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The Flexibility of the cloud migration tool **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** non traditional SFDC environment tool and expensive **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Migration in the customer to get SFDC as new CRM ### 14. Making Application easy to deploy **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Spencer R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** I love that Heroku scales with you. You can easily upload a Nodejs Application using a git repository, and Heroku will handle the deployment. You don't have to worry about how it will scale with you, as they will autoscale it based on usage. This helps you with no downtime on anything. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I dislike that Heroku is always trying to upsell you on features you may not need. To the uneducated, they'll opt into unnessacary features that are otherwise free. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** If your company can't commit the time and resources to a DevOps team to manage your application, Heroku makes it easy to deploys apps without having the knowledge of managing a server. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Heroku to deploy our custom application that keeps track of all of our technicians and clients. Heroku allows our technicians to access the app online anywhere. Compared to a regular server such as Godaddy. Heroku has allowed to to deploy a full stack application without the need of all the technical skills needed for AWS. It's the backbone of our business, and without Heroku hosting our application, we wouldn't be able to operated at the margins we currently at. ### 15. My experience hosting a Python web application on Heroku **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander P. | Software Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** My favorite part of Heroku is how fast I can have a web application up and running, even on a free tier. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Most of my projects are hosted on the free tier, which goes to sleep after a certain period of no use. When the dyno wakes again it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the webpage to load. While I can't really complain because I'm using the free version, it would be nice not to have to deal with this latency. Otherwise great product all around. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm hosting a web application for a startup I do contract work for. It's a python web application using the Flask framework and deployed using gunicorn. The main benefit is the ease of use and how quick new changes can be pushed out in just a few seconds. I also like how it hooks up directly to my github repo. ### 16. A great tool for rapid arrangement and environment conformation. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Angella S. | PegaDeveloper, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku is an outstanding tool for new users, providing perfectly simple, easy, and rapid early distribution and environment arrangement. It offers easy arrangement, environment confirmation, and simple practicability. The Heroku CLI delivers a great user interface for cooperating with the cloud environment. The metrics involved in Heroku are brilliant as an initial means for analyzing high-level problems. It is an open-source with wide-ranging certification. It offers a general pricing strategy. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** In some situations, Heroku could not be well-appropriate, because the price could be relatively higher as compared to GCP or AWS when using a few add-ons with more exclusive strategies. The cost of Heroku is not reasonably priced. Though it functions pretty good for smaller organizations, demanding little containers, it becomes very high-priced for larger applications. The value of add-on wholesalers is all the time more inconstant as Heroku enlarges the market. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is an astonishing tool for the expansion of smaller apps, facilities, and sites that contains an inadequate budget or price estimation. It has an accessible user-friendly interface. It delivers highly scalable facilities and apps, with excessive competence to scale an app when desirable. It helps multiple databases, languages, and provide some other facilities in the form of add-ons. It is likely to get it free for smaller and simpler apps. ### 17. Very simple paas and deployment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** interface is simple and intuitive and the support team is great **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** not much it's straight forward and easy to use, maybe more features and flexibility + security add-ons like AWS would be nice **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** server distribution/hosting and app employment at our company ### 18. Fast and Amazing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mahendra K. | Associate Software Engineer, Computer Games, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Very easy to deploy and maintain the code in one place. stepwise instructions mostly help for users to play with the application. database and fast deployment. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** need to improve free domains and new features. need to have a vast community to interact more with the application. pricing is little bit expensive . quality can be improved alot . **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** easy to manage and maintain code at one place in Heroku, no need to have full knowledge to first time user easily the user can readily interact with an application. ### 19. My Experience using HeroKu for statistcis **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Urfi S. | Senior Venue Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** We have recently started using HeroKu for individual performance review. It gives a clear and crisp dashboard for individual performance. It has been a great tool added to the different tools we use to make sure our employees have a clear path. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** nothing in particular, it still hasnt given any issues **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** quick and efficient reporting ### 20. The fastest way to expand your software stack **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tammy H. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** There are a lot of cloud-based platforms for rapid deployment now, and Heroku's feature set is as robust as any of them. But it's extensive set of Add-Ons makes it stand apart. Truly, with one click you can incorporate any additional service you can possibly conceive of. Not only are days or weeks of work collapsed into hours, but it makes it possible to try out different options before you commit, bc the investment in setting them up is low. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Dealing with the lack of persistence file storage is painful, as is upgrading or downgrading the specs of the database. While the pricing for hosting is reasonable, some of the most common Add-Ons are priced a bit high, so costs can quickly add up. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Heroku has a free tier to try-before-you-buy, so if you're a complete Heroku newbie, consider testing your app on that tier to get a feel for how it works and what it will take to convert your existing app (or alter your usual software development patters) to fit Heroku's deployment model. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Heroku makes it possible for us to run a website with a complicated back-end with minimal staff. Most of the set-up/integration work on the platform fits well within the DevOps skillset of an experienced software developer, which means our core team can handle most of the infrastructure work, ### 21. Heroku - great for mobile apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Easy to use and setup - great documentation. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** More free dyno hours would be great for start-ups. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Used as a mobile backend-as-a-Service for my app. ### 22. Very easy platform for deploy your applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andreas R. | Technical Marketing Specialist and Programmer, Retail, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** what I like the most is the ease of configuration and deployment of applications. In just a few clicks and a few commands you can have your app in production and your domain with ssl **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The price of the hobby plan could be something less... about 3 euros a month would be fair. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Understand very well how "dynos" work. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem I'm solving is related to devops. I don't want to be configuring servers and I want to focus more on programming my app. ### 23. Most sophisticated PAAS for rails apps **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** I'm a rails developer and Heroku is one of the best cloud platforms available today. It offers CLI and makes it so much easy to deployment. The UI is very crisp and easy. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** It bit of an expensive product otherwise it's good **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** It is one of the best PAAS solutions for rails and many more frameworks. The quality they provide is benchmark in market **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I deploy rails apps on Heroku. One of the most amazing features of Heroku is its free tier which is very helpful in local development. It gives students and experimental developers a chance to deploy their apps in the cloud instead of the local environment, which is very good. ### 24. It's been great! Works well. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Colin R. | Sales Associate, Consumer Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** I really like how I can deploy my projects directly from Heroku. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I dislike how I have to use a separate service for my repository, like GitHub, rather than having everything inclusive. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** It's an easy-to-use product that offers a lot of features and benefits. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Heroku has made it possible for me to set my locally hosted pages public. ### 25. Heroku ideal for developers in the cloud. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Molly M. C. | Project Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Salesforce Heroku, is an ideal tool for all types of developers who want to upload their applications to the cloud, you can work as a test error, running the applications, which are in the database of the application, in an environment simulated, for later, when you are sure, they work perfectly, they are uploaded to the network, and they can be online and accessible to all. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I must be honest, this software is somewhat complicated to use even for advanced developers, many commands and codes may be difficult for many to understand, since they are development environments a little different from those we are already familiar with, apart from this, the documentation of help, which is found on the web, about this program is very limited, a very large help documentation is needed, to avoid wasting time, in the trial and error of the use of the different features, that the application uses. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a sector of developers, experimenting with new creations of applications of all kinds based on Heroku, we see a high potential, in this application and we want to move, many outdated applications that we still have, elaborated in different applications that use obsolete codes, and change them by the new ones that are made, in Heroku. ### 26. Hassle-free solution for web applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ariadni-Karolina A. | Principal Data Engineer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The ease of deployment and configuration is a big plus. Heroku lets you build and scale your website (and related components such as Postgres database or a Redis cache) with minimal fuss. There's more add-ons such as scheduled tasks and monitoring. Compared to other cloud providers, it's much easier to learn how to use and deploy your first app. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I think that for a highly complex application, heroku may not offer enough low-level control of the infrastructure. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Heroku may just suit your needs. Do a bit of research before committing to a cloud provider, there's no need to have complex features if you're not using them, and Heroku is located at a sweet spot with respect to price, ease of use and features that can support most web applications. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I built an application that let's users upload their data and share with others. It was very easy to provision the machines and the databases I needed - I didn't have to manage any networking configuration for example. ### 27. Great Platform And Easy To Use For Application Development **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku is a fast, easy, nice and very reliable place to host your server-side apps, node.js, and ruby on rails apps works like a charm. I use HEROKU to deploy my apps, it allows me to store logs, run commands on the server side, clone the entire app and create a new environment, add services to my apps such as Sendgrid, Postgres DB and many many other. It also allows you to create pipelines and set up your environment variables in a very easy going manner over the web tools but also there is the CLI that allows you to do all the actions over the console. The overall service experience is great, once you start working with Heroku, Git will be your best friend since it is the way to deploy your apps. It even provides you with many development environments for your apps like Swift and any other that have some sort of package manager. Last but not least you can manage your project collaborators and ownership over the web manager so you can create your app and add all the members on your development team in no time or you can create an app for your client and once it's finished you can transfer the app ownership to your client. This is by far one of the best services for apps development I'd found in years, it really reduces the development and deployment time, no setup for each app, just the joy of git push heroku master ..... DoneTo gets to start with the services you just need to create the app in the web manager app, which makes it super Easy to use, it is super FAST to deploy and run the apps. It is highly scalable, you can start with a free dyno and scale it over the paid plans according to your needs with makes it very cost efficient. It might replace your git repository but also it is very easy to create several environments for your app in no time with exact clones of it even with environmental variables **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Unfortunately, we do not use Heroku for every project because it does have a high cost. While it is my favorite to use, sometimes it feels like the smarter decision to give up a little bit of the elegant design in exchange for significant savings in cost. The introduction of Hobby dynos awhile back made Heroku a great starting point for fresh apps, but depending on how many users we plan on having, sometimes the cost of staying on Heroku will quickly eclipse other platforms as a service option which while less elegant, still get the job done. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Heroku is a great platform for building modern web apps. You can quickly launch your app in production, especially if you use Heroku Container Registry. I use it to launch my lots of learning application free of cost. I worked for the enterprise at my company. It's Easy to use, Where you can create your pipeline for the deployment process. You can connect your Git with Heroku. Lost of important add-ons also available. Like Sumologic, Paper trail, Heroku COnnect, Postgres. Here Heroku has free database so you can use your free application as well **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have lost of limit in Salesforce to update, Insert and delete the data but using Heroku we resolve this issue and update lost of data. Some of the third party also we can't connect with some other service but we connect. Heroku also having lots of important add-ons. I used Postgres, Heroku Connect, Sumologic, Paper trail, Scheduler more. ### 28. Sales Force Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derek C. | Associate for Proffesional Service Opperations , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** That it is so easy to manage and go back and force between data I am looking up. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** That some of the updates are not at the level they should be for the product to be running to the best of its ability. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Salesforce is a very effective product however they need to make more updates that make it easier for the user. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Salesforce allows me to schedule the people in my company to go to the schools they need to be. It allows me to give them the time and the directions of where and what time the person needs to be. ### 29. A cloud provider that is easy and almost fun to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku makes it super simple to get your app running in the cloud with as little fuss as possible. You don't have to worry about the details - with just a few commands you app can be deployed. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Navigating the command line can be frustrating at time and little support for debugging the production environment is supported - expect to rely **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** May be pricey, but can well make up for it in its ease of use and great documentation **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Saved a lot of time and allowed us to focus on product rather than infrastructure. ### 30. Incredibly flexible and powerful utility **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Noah H. | CTO, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku enables any company of any scale or seamlessly manage any web properties they have. For rapid prototyping and testing new features, Heroku more than meets one's needs, and is a perfect solution to rapidly deploying and testing new mobile API back-ends. Whether one has always used personally managed servers or are coming from tools such as AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku is very quick to migrate to and flexible to whatever deployment configuration you have. Its use of Git has been incredibly transformative for our team, as we had all been previously using it Git for all projects, and Heroku closed the loop allowing us to work and deploy from the same system. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Is more expensive than more traditional DIY hosting options. In the name of ease of use, some functionality is harder to find/employ, but this is more than compensated by the realized benefits of the system. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** For rapid prototyping you will not be disappointed, but do bear in mind the cost as things scale. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy team collaboration and resource management and scaling. Heroku is the best way to achieve this. When application issues have occurred, Heroku has made patch deployment very easy and has been able to drastically improve our issue response time. ### 31. I recommend Salesforce to everyone. It's a great platform. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** 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. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Sometimes it's TOO flexible for people who are not excited by technology. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Everything is just faster and easier. ### 32. Great for a Rails/Postgre web site **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex O. | Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2017 **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, **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. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** If your needs, like mine, are hosting Rails and Node.js web apps, Heroku seem like a good choice. Watch out for the lack of persistent file storage - it came as a bit of a surprise to me. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're building an IT Consulting Marketplace. The main benefit is easy setup for easy deployment - DevOps without a big investment of time and money ### 33. Very good UI and plugins. A bit expensive compare to others **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juan F. | Senior software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2017 **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... **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. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** You can set up an entire environment very fast **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build an entire pipeline (dev, test and pro) and autoscale our platform. ### 34. Great for app development **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2017 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** It is intuitive, great UI, support for collaborative development **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Salesforce allows only 10000 records to be updated at a time **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Multi language support Robust Saves a lot of development time **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to host our sites It is fast Reliable Great integrations ### 35. Great tool for faster processing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stjepan M. | Senior Consultant / Product Support Team Lead, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The ability to process outside of SFDC and avoid hitting the governing limits **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Sometimes it requires large technical knowledge to implement **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Processing of large volumes of data ### 36. A great service in the cloud **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2017 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** I love that it's entirely streamlined on AWS. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** It's like a language, so takes a minute to get used to but really not disliking it per se! Lots of different features **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlines the process for developers and saves costs on app dev ### 37. Easy Deployments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2017 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** A single solution for deploying to the web. We can spend more time improving the product and less on deployment. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** We have started to notice more frequent downtimes but this is usually associated with other internet outages too. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Single cloud provider for application hosting and deployment. Affordable scalability. ### 38. Very nice and powerful cloud platform **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Haibo Y. | Senior Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Easy installtion of plugins and add-ons. Powerful metrics to monitor the app. Detailed sample apps and code for start a new application **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The database support is powerful, but the free account only have few options to use the postgree sql. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Powerful management tools, easy to start, detailed documentations . **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used Heroku to host one of my previous ios app's server. It's useful for small-scale apps and it's free. It also provide powerful entries for app owners to monitor the app statistics. ### 39. Interesting Tools. A Different way to work **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alonso P. | Desarrollador de Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2016 **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. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Give more details about how implement a project with Heroku, because it is confusing trying to connect and if you don't have that information on sorting point it is frustrating **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been working on a project with Django/Python and let me work easily, like I'm not using Heroku, that is one of the greatest benefits about it, because once you got anything under control Heroku + Project, it lets you work quickly, allowing you to take care another things to getting a better development. ### 40. A Hands on platform, very rapidly deployable. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Claudio F. | Sr. Software Developer, Management Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2016 **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! **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. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** If you are looking for a cloud saas virtual environment, full of plugins and APIs, hands on and easily deployable, you might want to consider taking a look at Heroku. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backend Restful API with Real Time features. It's pretty much the same thing like working on my own environment. So I had for far no hassles at all with the classical: "in my machine it works" excuse. ### 41. Ridiculously easy but a bit pricey at times **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremy M. | Senior Engineer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** It makes going from idea to deployed app ridiculously easy. I *always* recommend starting with Heroku to folks starting out with tech like Rails and the Python frameworks. It removes the deployment barrier for these folks to start sharing their code. The lack of require maintenance is also great. If a piece of hardware fails, they take care of it. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The price, which isn't to say it doesn't match the value. It's just that it does add up once you reach a certain level of traffic and complexity. After a while, you reach a juncture where your app is complex enough, you know enough, and the concept is "worth it" (from a personal or financial perspective) to move it to something that is far higher maintenance for (in raw dollars) cheaper. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** If you plan to go all in on Heroku, it will make your life much easier if you choose tech (e.g., databases, email, etc.) that has tight integration with it through a third party provider or a direct Heroku service. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Again, it removes devops from the equation almost completely when it comes to getting an app in front of people. ### 42. Quickly develop a production quality application with minimal knowledge of DevOps **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan B. | Business Analyst, Innovation R&D, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku is finely customizable to a number of modern programming language such as Ruby, Node.js, PHP and Go. Users get quite a bit of functionality of the free tier which easily meets the needs of smaller personal applications. A single dyno is generally sufficient for these purposes. Heroku also offers a fairly large catalogue of add-ons to integrate with applications, and database integration is a snap with Postgres. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The pricing model at Heroku should probably be revisited. Users with the hobby or free tier can generally extract quite a few features out of the service to fit the needs of personal applications, but the professional level infrastructure scheme is a bit nebulous. Premium support options also make lower-tier subscribers feel neglected when trying to contact support. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Simple and easy to use, even for users with minimal knowledge of application architecture. May not fit the needs of larger applications, and the pricing model may need revision. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Heroku's Platform-as-a-service has functioned well as a standup environment in the smaller innovation development team that I have been a part of, but I suspect that larger enterprise development teams will likely side with vendors with more corporate recognition such as Microsoft Azure or Openshift. ### 43. Quick and easy deployment (on the whole) **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Duncan A. | CTO, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Wealth of add-ons and ease of setup are great. Pushing from code straight to development was a novelty for me when I started off and now with docker support this is even better. The database handling is superb. I like the way the product has improved over the years with current technology being supported. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I dislike the random nature of the routing algorithm, it could be much smarter. Sometimes a request gets stuck behind a slow request. It is hard to gauge the capacity needed at times due to this. I hate the 30 second restriction which although it makes sense from their end does not lend itself well to be fully compatible with all open source libraries in our stack. This tends to make customisations a must which is a pain. Can get very expensive unless you manage dynos well. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Great for small teams and if you need to validate your product. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem is a SaaS platform with global reach. The main benefit has been the ease with which we can deliver updated code and new features.. ### 44. Devops as a Service, push, deploy and done! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Miguel P. | Software Engineer, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2015 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Lets you have a performant production server with a couple clicks, no devops knowledge needed. Has tons of plugins for all your needs: Database (Heroku Postgres), Cache (Redis), Monitorization (NewRelic), emails (Mailgun), SSL… Provides lots of documentation to set up apps in a variety of languages, and covers things like using several environments, tuning your memory usage, deploying from Dropbox, and more. Together with a auto-scaling plugin like HireFire, it can manage your app as usage goes up and down, and you'll never be overwhelmed by a traffic spike, or spend more than you need on valley hours. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The pricing is a little high, especially if you want to use the dedicated dynos, which increase performance and decrease response time dramatically. We've also been bit by downtimes a couple times in the past year, being fully managed by them there's not much to do once it goes down. Also, since it runs on AWS ,if that goes down Heroku does too. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Great for starting a web app. As traffic rises, consider switching to a performance dyno, which gives you more bang for your buck, and also has much slower response time. Beware of delays in your requests when you deploy, consider using rolling restarts to fix it. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can save lots of tiie configuring, testing and deploying servers on AWS or providers like Digital Ocean, while focusing on developing the app itself, which is what brings value after all. ### 45. Heroku - great for finding product-market fit **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Forrest B. | CTO, Legal Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The flexibility of the Heroku platform and add-ons made it easy to build our initial product, and add and remove features as our product and customer needs have evolved. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku is not the cheapest platform out there and it isn't always the most flexible service either. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** I would recommend Heroku to teams looking to deploy quickly or expect to need to modify their product significantly. The flexibility and ease of deploying Heroku's add-ons have allowed us to test many product features while minimizing the total cost (in time and money) of development and deployment. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use heroku to serve our web application to leading businesses, law firms, and non-profits. Heroku allows us to minimize our devops investment and deliver the scalable service our customers depend on. ### 46. Instant deployment at higher prices **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebecca S. | Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** For those with the budget to pay for the cost of Heroku, Heroku provides a number of very convenient features for developers such as instant deployment. Heroku integrates seamlessly into Git, the state-of-the-art version control system that many teams are switching to. Integrating version control system into deployment is an enormous advantage. Then deployment becomes a one-step process and is less to learn for developers. Deployment itself, rather than the code, can sometimes present an issue. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** I dislike that Salesforce App Cloud: Heroku Enterprise is more expensive than other kinds of deployment tools. As a result, some teams use AWS and we may switch to AWS or another cloud service when our usage becomes high enough to require a paid tier of Heroku's plans. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** For small-scale software, I strongly recommend Heroku. When software usage is low enough not to put much of a strain on the servers, one can use Heroku at a free or low-cost tier without running over budget. Prototyping also puts a premium on quick deployment. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** We would like to use a quick and easy deployment platform. Heroku presents a quick and easy deployment platform. We are also on a small enough Heroku plan that budget is a non-issue. My team is prototyping our software and usage is small enough for us to remain on the free tier of Heroku. We also like using Git and making deployment a seamless component of the Git pushing process. ### 47. Simple, Robust and Effective **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Edd T. | Lead Software Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** The time it takes to move from an idea to MVP is very quick when building on a product like Heroku. With its support for side-projects through it's free tier - moving up to highly performant, concurrent, distributed systems - Heroku manages the app at all stages of it's life. If something isn't directly possible on Heroku, it mostly likely is through their addons. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** - We've occasionally struggled in the past trying to send requests from Heroku to services which require a static IP - but this problem can be avoided by setting up a proxy with an ip (but it's a pain). - Setting up TLS certificates require an extra cost (as they require an addon) which in the day-and-age of letsencrypt, I think is a shame. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a start-up in the property sector, Heroku has allowed us to focus on the business logic of building an online collaborative workspace, rather than worry about the infrastructure. In times of high demand we can scale the 'dyno' count to manage. Given out industry, we have low usage over weekends and evenings - which we can save in cost by scaling down. ### 48. Integrating with Heroku for seamless transaction tracking **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Praveen Makam K. | Cloud Consultant - Salesforce Practice, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Real time sync between salesforce and heroku enterprise. Linking up objects using indirect/external look up relationships so that we can access the data inside of salesforce. Options to limit sync transactions. Creating multiple applications within the same org etc., **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Implementation is not an easy task with heroku here as you need to be completely aware of heroku platform and its capabilities. You need to change some settings on both the sides. But as we have a few trailhead chapters specially for training, it is of a lot of help **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** We are still exploring the platform and integration. As we are in the learning stage, we would be good to provide recommendations once our major go live happens with our next release. We have made sure our developers are taking advantage all of the features it supports. We can write out a blog with likes, dislikes or recommendations pretty soon. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** our service analyst used to have a real time reporting system which was complex but now our team has rolled out a partially new tool for the same purpose. They are finding it easy to observe the real time insights with heroku quick sync ### 49. The best scalable server solution that allows me to easily manage the deployment of my projects! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Akhil K. | Data Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** It's a pretty decent cloud based scalable server where I personally like the number of conventions available (like using Postgres database, and no need of updating the file system every now and then) thus can easily scale as my application grows by bettering the database and increasing the number of dynos(Rails instances) and workers. And finally, heroku offers plenty of add-on resources. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** Server cost is comparatively expensive(i.e. per instance when compared to renting on Slicehost). The abstraction comes on expense of control. With heroku I cannot get great control over configuration of my application, in terms of hardware, OS, firewall, versions etc. Sometimes I might end up paying little more than I would have paid for comparable capacity in EC2. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Provides great features such as • Instant Deployment with Git push • Plenty of Add-on resources • Processes scaling • Full Logging and Visibility • Database integration is pretty simple and effective • Scaling is straightforward Finally, developers can focus on product development rather on managing infrastructure - this is especially relevant for small start-up's who need to roll their code quickly into production and focus on new features, not on operations. **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Proper build for my applications are what I try to improve where Instant Deployment with Git push are real handy features in Heroku(like Full Logging and Visibility). Heroku offering number of Dyno for upgrade and downgrade app instance is what I love beyond any other services. ### 50. Heroku is an essential development environment for web apps **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?** Heroku CLI. The Heroku CLI for deploying ruby on rails apps is very easy to use and git workflow is made painless with Heroku. It simplifies tasks like upgrading a Postgresql database which can be done easily from the command line. **What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?** The cost. For any development app with limited database tables and accessible to one or two users, deploying to Heroku is a no brainer. But, for production apps, the cost can quickly spiral as more integrations (e.g. New Relic) are added. For the price range of a typical Heroku production app, I feel there are much better solutions out there. While these may not have the ease of use that Heroku can provide, the additional work needed to setup deployment scripts and deploy to a server on Digital Ocean, for example, would be much more cost effective over a long period of time. Also, there are many open-source tools now that can mimic Heroku-like deployments without all of the costs. **Recommendations to others considering Salesforce Heroku:** Consider cost as well as usability/ease of use **What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?** Working with internal QA teams that need to see latest development changes instantly. Also, managing multiple development environments. With Heroku I can quickly get a new environment up for other team members to review. ## Salesforce Heroku Discussions - [What is Salesforce Heroku used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-salesforce-heroku-used-for) - 1 comment - [View Salesforce Heroku pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/salesforce-heroku/reviews?page=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-01+18%3A15%3A06+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=699ee633-2178-43dd-afec-fdfe3af31e31&secure%5Btoken%5D=8db8739bd45b97462ddb4a8a56be604ee8ea56dff705c280bc6db912ab231f7c&format=llm_user) ## Salesforce Heroku Integrations - [Salesforce CRM Dashboards](https://www.g2.com/products/salesforce-crm-dashboards/reviews) ## Salesforce Heroku Features **Development** - Application Deployment - Development Tools - Development Environment - Language Support - Testing **Database** - Database Management - Analytics - Auto Scaling - Backup / Recovery - Storage **Infrastructure** - Networking - Virtual Machines - Security ## Top Salesforce Heroku Alternatives - [AWS Lambda](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-lambda/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (936 reviews) - [DigitalOcean](https://www.g2.com/products/digitalocean/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (743 reviews) - [Google App Engine](https://www.g2.com/products/google-app-engine/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (192 reviews)
