"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"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."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"The product must improve its security."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
