Abhinand Gokhala K - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Bigone Technologies
The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

A serverless solution with good performance
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. The tool should improve its support. The time zone difference causes delays in communication, which can significantly impact production websites and servers. I'd rate the platform itself higher, but they still need improvements. They need to work on their billing system and create more understandable plans that clearly show costs based on bandwidth usage. 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). While they showed the bandwidth usage, we lacked support on optimising or implementing changes to reduce costs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."
"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
"It is easy to learn. If you want to deploy your site, it's easy to do."
"Vercel is an easy-to-use platform, and we can easily deploy the app."
"It is pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs."
"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."
"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."
"Therefore, I chose Vercel for its convenience, ease of integration, and instant deployment capabilities."
"I think the speed of the tool is good."
"The entire ecosystem Vercel is setting up is quite beneficial for the developers."
 

Cons

"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."
"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."
"Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"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."
"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."
"I would rate it seven out of ten because there are things missing in Vercel."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
"I've faced a lot of issues with Vercel. One thing is that it is a little bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."
"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."
"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"The solution's pricing depends on the size of the project."
"I'm a free user."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"The solution is expensive for React projects."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."

What advice do you have for others considering Vercel?
If you use Next.js, Vercel is the easiest way to deploy. No config needed, and it gives you a preview URL for every branch. In a monorepo it works well too. We run many apps from one repo, each app...
