Render is the best modern cloud hosting solution

What do you like best about the product?
The platform makes it easy to go from commit to deploy with zero setup required. I like how much less setup is required compared to Google Cloud and AWS. The integration with Github is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I hope comes soon, is Docker builds straight from a registry! The platform offers a way to do this currently, it just requires a bit of extra configuration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to deploy my applications much faster than in the past. Before, I would spend much more time configuring lower level platform like Google Cloud and AWS.

Render is the cloud platform for happy developers

What do you like best about the product?
I moved all my web services and Static sites from places like Heroku and Netlify because Render just works and gives me rest. The pricing is transparent and affordable for indie makers like me who want to build out my ideas and not break the bank with accumulated billings(looking at you, Heroku).

Render also focus on developer love by giving you tools to make sure you deploy your code with rest. Look at something like Environment variable groups; for example, let's you create a reusable fgroup of environment variables that you can use in both staging and production. This simple feature, as it may seem, has saved me a whole lot of time redefining environment variables.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about Render, to be honest. Everything works great. Sure there is always room for improvement, but no deal-breaker for me!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly deploying all my web services and web sites
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hesitate no more if you are deciding to come onboard on Render. Render quickly scale no matter what you are building, and your development team will love it as Render will give them rest.

Take care of dev-ops for you

What do you like best about the product?
The pricing is very competitive compared to similar features on heroku. It is simple to use and take away most of the dev-ops burden.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation has not handle as many edge cases as other more mature tools, but they answer your email in a heartbeat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously using AWS, migrating the server to Render solved maintenance and dev ops at a fair price. Migrating to Heroku for the same benefits would have been unthinkable because of the cost.

Refreshing

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use,support and I especially love the pricing model. It is cheaper than a lot of competitors and actually is faster in my testing! I love the UI and interface too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of yet! It would be nice if, when creating a service through a blueprint, that it redirects you to the service once created. Right now it sits there forever.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily we are solving our backend API service hosting solution and database. In future, we are looking at bringing many more services into Render and using that as our base for various domains and apps.

What do you like best about the product?
Render makes it easy to deploy code without having to deal with all the underlying architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is the amount of effort it takes to migrate from Heroku 😂
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Render lets us spin up new environments quickly and easily, which is great for us as a small team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up and give it a try - you can get started for a few dollars per month and it's easy to deploy from GitHub.

Can't live without Render

What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of starting, stopping and suspending a service.
- Private services.
- Auto deployement from git
What do you dislike about the product?
- The admin panel UI could be a bit better
- Documentation can be improved (had trouble with a private service, later figured out with support chat that services can only connect to others in the same region)

Fast and convenient in hosting our apps.

I've told every dev and entrepreneur I know about this service

  • October 06, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use is hands down the best thing about Render. The docs are incredibly useful also. The free static websites put them over the top!
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is all in SF (I think), so if you're in the wrong timezone, it might take a while for them to get back to you. That said, the longest I've waited is 2 hours. Also the docs are excellent so if you pay attention, it's so easy to use the support won't be needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Going from development to production can be painful. Updating my apps is as simple as committing to GIT.

Honest Render Review

  • September 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing that I found about render was it's "in few clicks deployment" and "easy to use interface". It saves a ton of time that get's wasted in services deployment. Also, Static site deployment is completely free, they don't even ask for a card for that.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet not found any downside about the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had a backend service that I had to quickly deploy. It was a serious project and involved covid help resources for end users. I had no time to waste configuring systems for deployment.

render is the obvious choice for rapid application development

  • September 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It took me all of 20 minutes from setting up my Render account to launching my Django app that I already had in Github. I am also impressed by the great features that Render include building pull requests, logging, metrics, and other services like managed databases, static sites, and cron jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Render doesn't have a permanent free tier for managed services like Heroku, but their free trial does not require you to give them payment information which is an excellent policy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can rapidly write my Django apps and not have to worry too much about fiddling with infrastructure or unpredictable cloud computing costs.
