Scales very well and useful console to view all their apps and its fully rebrandable which works great if you want to give the clients you are building apps for access to their own view of how it is performing. The fact that it comes with integrated push notifications and their automated monthly report is also great. See More
For companies or large teams of developers, where there are multiple projects being worked on at once, you can choose permissions for any developer and decide who gains access to each app on the backend. Lets you rebrand the system, which works well if you want to give the clients you are building the app for access to their own view of how their app is performing. Also like the fact it comes with the option of integrated push notifications and an automated executive summary report. See More
Setting up a backend for an app with Kinvey is very easy and takes minutes. All you have to do is sign up and through their graphical interface follow all the steps, which boils down to creating tables and identifying the type of data that is being stored. Then you download the library, integrate it with your app and initialize the process with one single line. See More
User registration with Kinvey is pretty good and usually works without any problems. It's also very easy to use, you simply pass the username, password, email, etc. to the required method and register a callback that returns whether the registration was a success or a failure. Same thing is done for login and logout as well. See More

While starting with Heroku is fast and easy, and the first few deployments are actually very fast, larger applications tend to have slower deployments. It takes some time for the dynos to restart and while they are restarting the application is completely offline. Which means that you can lose precious seconds of application time. See More
Google App Engine is very easy to use. All you need to do is install the SDK (which in itself is easy as well, and the documentation is very heplful) and run the command needed depending on the type of project to deploy it. For example, to deploy a golang application, you run golang deploy inside the project folder and it will be automatically deployed. See More
The deployment process with AppFog is generally nice and easy because of its CLI. Unofrtunately the only downside of that process is the fact that it takes too long. A deployment to AppFog genereally takes up to 40 seconds, which should be fine if you are deploying once a week, but when you deploy every hour it starts bothering you too much. See More
The deployment process in Modulus can be slow depending on the size of the project. On every deploy the whole application is bundled (except node_modules and deployed to Modulus. Since it doesn't use something like git it has to upload every file on each deploy instead of "diffing" them. See More
