Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"Its cost can be improved."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
