We performed a comparison between Linode and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"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."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"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."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users who use it daily."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy."
"It does an excellent job of load balancing."
"We find it valuable because it is compatible with our existing Azure solution."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux 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."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure. Mapping the certificates into it isn't easy, and it could be better. Currently, you've to write a bit of automation to pull certificates directly to HTTPS."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
