Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The solution integrates easily."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"Its cost can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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."
"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."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"We would love to see the analytics and ransomware protection extended beyond just file servers to virtual machines, but they have a different product that covers that."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
