Easy Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
We have started to notice more frequent downtimes but this is usually associated with other internet outages too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single cloud provider for application hosting and deployment. Affordable scalability.
Very good UI and plugins. A bit expensive compare to others
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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.

Build an entire pipeline (dev, test and pro) and autoscale our platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can set up an entire environment very fast
Great for a Rails/Postgre web site
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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.

What problems is the product 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

Recommendations to others considering the product:
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 do you dislike about the product?
The database support is powerful, but the free account only have few options to use the postgree sql.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Powerful management tools, easy to start, detailed documentations .
Real Cool Application!!!
What do you like best about the product?
How easy the application is for users to use and the flexibility and stability it provides a organization. You can host Heroku in the cloud and don't have to worry about having the overhead of any equipment on sight. This is a pretty cool application to have and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike, if I had to say it would be pricing depending on what you need. Depending how much you need to scale or how fast your business grows it could get pretty expensive pretty fast. So depending on financial resources would determine if scaling is feasible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer mobile application and tracking of user data. A mobile app that allows our customers to login and track their progress for the Immunotheraphy they are on. Allow the user to stay compliance.
