We performed a comparison between AWS Outposts and Linode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect is its ability to provide interfaces for events."
"AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and API to our on-premises data center or co-location facilities."
"Outposts allows you to isolate your private environment from the public cloud provider while enabling almost all the features that are available on public cloud services. That is the beauty of this service. It's an infrastructure that you can put in your data center and seamlessly connect to the public cloud."
"The most valuable aspect is that it comes in a rack form factor which makes it incredibly easy to use and deploy various AWS services."
"I think the keys to success for the solution is the easy-to-use user interface and the fact that the development team really likes the platform."
"If you compare with the full bundle of these services, you can see the difference. This is enough for these locations in private data centers. Because the main reasons why the customers want to have it on their side are for the low latency and the security of their critical data."
"With AWS, we've had seamless integration and support for many of our applications."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"The number one thing we like about Linode isn't necessarily a service, it's their support. We've found their support to be absolutely fantastic. They've been so outstanding with their support. Every single time we call them and we ask for advice or help, they go above and beyond and it's really made us appreciate what they do."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers."
"Outposts supports elastic coordinator services, but not elastic container services, which is the native service for containers in AWS. That is something missing in this product."
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options."
"The pricing model needs improvement because right now it's very expensive. All of these solutions are very expensive and it prevents other customers or owners of data centers from buying it."
"It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion."
"Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."
"It would be great if it could support Glue services."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"The product must improve its security."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
