5.0

Dimitri: So I'm Dimitri. I'm a CEO of a small company of 10 employees, and I use Heroku and give it a five out of five. Today we are using Heroku for application so that all our users, all our customers, can log in and do their things daily. Heroku is something very valuable so that all users around the world, and especially in France, in our case, can manage their data. What I enjoy the most about Heroku is that today as a smart business, we can't afford infrastructure, IT infrastructure, and so it's very easy to set things up, it's very easy to deploy and it's very easy to test, so I think it's the most valuable solution right now. What I dislike about Heroku is first some plugins you have to find elsewhere, I think like the ecosystem is mature, but sometimes you can have specific needs that need to be addressed by outside solutions. And again, I think the price, it's not expensive when you're doing business, but you have to consider the use cases.

Tech Support Agent
5.0

Patrick: Hi, I'm Patrick, and I work in customer support with Native Instruments. Our company is about 250 employees, and I would rate Sublime Text five out of five. Prior to using Sublime Text, I considered a couple other text editors. There's just the standard Windows Notepad that I used, and then there was a scripting app that people use to script with JavaScript. I can't remember the name of it, but Sublime Text was basically one of my first entries, and I found it to be just super useful and I've used it in both text and basic scripting languages. I chose Sublime Text because it was just easy to use. It's very easily accessible to find all the files that you were previously using and adding different scripting languages to Sublime until it would actually come up and tell you about the errors was really easy, and it came with a lot that were pre-installed also. So for me and everything that I needed to do, which is nothing too intensive on the scripting side but a lot of note-taking and that sort of thing, like Sublime Text, it just gets everything right. It's really easy workflow. Integrating into my workflow, Sublime Text was really easy actually because I'm already using a different app, which is actually a little bit more cumbersome, which is the Windows Notes app. And using Sublime Text, I had all the different tabs for all the different notes I had open, and it easily just saves my document based upon the first line of text, which I like. And yeah, out the gate, it was a very easy to use app for texting. So anybody that's using Sublime Text ... or anybody that isn't using Sublime Text or maybe is just in the market for a text editing app, I definitely think Sublime Text is a great choice. I would suggest it to my friends and anybody else because it's just so easy to use and out the gate, whether you're an expert scripter or you're just somebody that just needs to take notes, it handles both of those things in a really seamless kind of effortless way, and it's easy to use and it's free. So, I definitely suggest it.
