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 features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"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 solution integrates easily."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"The technology is stable which is good."
"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"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."
"We would like to see a self-sufficient installation."
"Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems."
