Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"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."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."
"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'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."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"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 network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"It could be more affordable."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
