Pega cloud experience
Anyone using Pega cloud had faced any issues while installing or working on it. Please share your experience. We are planning to use Pega Cloud.

Glad you are planning to use pega cloud, instead of directly answering, let me list some of the pros and cons (note: this is not an official list but my own take) - it should be pointed out that pega cloud runs the same image as that of on-premise deployment.
Pros:
No need to procure your own hardware/software before you can install pega software.
No need to hire pega/underlying hardware/software administrators - significant investment up front - instead, pega cloud instances are managed by pega internal experts with deep knowledge on all tiers of the applications (app server, database, presentation layer, etc).
No need to worry about installation/upgrade, will be handled by pega cloud/product experts as well for the most part - pending your contract details.
Proactive performance tuning by pega experts should you choose to utilize PDC.
Cons:
Only support tomcat/postgresql platform on war deployment - this means that there is no support of ear deployment, see this link for details: https://pdn.pega.com/choosing-between-ear-file-deployment-or-war-file-deployment. Also the choice of application server and database server is only tomcat and postgresql respectively.
