Pantheon vs Vercel comparison

"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."

"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."

"I like most that whatever you make in GitHub is directly linked. It does CI/CD, continuous integration and continuous deployment."

"I like Vercel because it is very easy to use and deploy. Unlike Firebase, which can be complex to understand, Vercel is straightforward. It also allows you to easily enable analytics, check page speed, and manage SEO meta tags. You can also share the deployment directly. The solution is also beginner-friendly."

"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."

"I think the speed of the tool is good."

"The solution's most valuable features are its response time and performance."

"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."

"It is easy to learn. If you want to deploy your site, it's easy to do."

"Vercel provides hands-on experience they provide for hosting services. Initially, we started with hosting, and I found it impressive that Vercel identifies even minor issues in your project that might prevent your website from being hosted correctly. For example, if there is a small problem in your front end, Vercel will notify you that your site hasn’t been hosted yet and provide the specific file and line number where the issue is occurring. It is definitely an easy tool to use. It provides clear instructions on how to handle everything, even if you're not very familiar with coding. It has a seamless integration with GitHub. We connected our private repository to Vercel, and it directly indicates any issues with the website whenever we commit code. Even if we've done all the changes and committed to the repo, Vercel lets us know about any flaws that would prevent the website from functioning fully. Once the final commit happens, Vercel gives a green tick, indicating no issues. It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."

"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."

"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."

"Initially, Vercel was great for hosting projects built with frameworks like Next.js or React.js, with NPM or Node.js as the backend. Now, they seem to be expanding into offering templates and ready-made front-end and back-end setups, making it possible to host a website without writing any code. Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences. Code is essential, and moving towards more user-friendly, code-free tools might limit deeper development possibilities."

"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."

"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."

"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."

"Vercel fails to provide a database to its users, making it in an area where improvements are required."

"There is room for improvement in terms of error logging. It has some bugs."

"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."

"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."

"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."

"The solution is expensive for React projects."

"I'm a free user."

"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."

"For most use cases requiring a small amount of storage, Vercel has a storage cap. Once you exceed that, they charge a nominal amount. I don’t think the storage is insufficient; you can use it for a long time."

"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."

"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."

"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."

"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
