One-click installation, no setup time, excellent support
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We don't use the solution for any other tech stack. For example, we have a Node.js application, we use Linode for now. But if we have WordPress websites, we use Bluehost or Namecheap. Our organization has ten to twelve developers using the solution. The solution is used occasionally in our organization. If you want to install a new website, or you have to make changes or explore files, not on a daily basis. We currently have no plans to increase usage but it all depends on our client's requirements. Comparatively, Bluehost is more expensive than Namecheap and in regards to speed, they are both hosted outside of my region and seem to be the same. I would recommend the solution because it's easy to use and has a one-click installation, and the technical support team is very good at solving your problems.

Makes it easy to connect domains and I like the user experience
If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve. I would like more time allowed for backend streaming. If you have a chatbot with text streaming, like ChatGPT, and you're not using the Edge router or Edge Functions, Vercel cuts off streaming after 10 seconds. The backend server without Edge Functions shuts down if it processes for more than 10 seconds.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would recommend the solution because it's easy to use and has a one-click installation, and the technical support team is very good at solving your problems."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click installation."
"Vercel is easy to use, and it has a flexible user interface."
"Vercel is a good platform for deployment of websites."
"The entire ecosystem Vercel is setting up is quite beneficial for the developers."
"One of the great things about Vercel is that we don't need any particular script to deploy our applications. We connect our GitHub repository directly to Vercel. Then, if any push happens in GitHub, we have a script that determines which branch should be deployed to which domain. We can map this according to our requirements."
"I like Vercel the most for its ease of use, especially with Next.js. Its UI is user-friendly, and the solution is easy to learn. I was a beginner when I created my portfolio website with the tool."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Vercel is the fastest deployer, and if you deploy your site, it won't have any issues."
"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."
 

Cons

"The solution's servers are in the US and Europe, and I would like to have additional servers near my region, in the APJ region so my clients don't experience any latency issues."
"The solution is not very scalable. I would not suggest the solution for scaling Node.js-based applications."
"If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve."
"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"Due to RBI guidelines, we're facing issues with billing in India. Credit card payments often get declined even when we try to pay from the backend. Another problem is paying 20 dollars for each new project, even under one account. This seems odd since we already pay for one project with multiple hosts."
"A major challenge we faced was an unexpectedly high bill of 25 lakhs for one month when we usually pay only one or two lakhs (100,000-200,000 rupees)."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"The tool could have some built-in support for a wide variety of frameworks. I have seen that the tool is majorly biased towards Next.js because it is one of Vercel's products."
"I have seen a bottleneck in Vercel regarding socket servers. According to their documentation, Vercel doesn't support WebSocket. While Vercel is great for creating a cloud application, if you need socket operations, the current platform won't accommodate that. I would like the Vercel team to add this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is a little more costly than other solutions but their technical support is better."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"Vercel is basically free. It's free of cost for new developers."
"As a DevOps person who has to consider the commercial aspects, I find it odd that we must pay $20 per user for each new project under a pro account. That's not what I expected. Additionally, there are charges based on bandwidth usage. We incur additional charges if we go beyond 1 TB or 2 TB. However, we can choose plans based on our specific requirements. So, while the per-project pricing and bandwidth-based charges can add up, we have some flexibility in selecting plans that fit our needs."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"The solution's pricing depends on the size of the project."
"I use the solution's free version."
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
