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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"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."
"The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"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."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
