Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The solution has good performance."
"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"It has helped our organization greatly and especially on weekends because we have many transactions as our users are buying some kind of tools and paying online."
"The production environment is highly available, which nowadays is a requirement for all of the big companies."
"For me, the best feature of ECS is Fargate because I don't have to manage anything. Instead, everything is managed by AWS and all I have to do, in essence, is configure my containers and deploy them."
"The solution is simple to access."
"Amazon ECS allows users to deploy and manage container applications like microservices or web applications on Amazon clusters. It's easy to install and designed for AWS targets, serving as a serverless container platform. It offers features such as automatic scanning, load balancing, and service discovery to help users manage their container applications."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The number one thing we like about Linode isn't necessarily a service, it's their support. We've found their support to be absolutely fantastic. They've been so outstanding with their support. Every single time we call them and we ask for advice or help, they go above and beyond and it's really made us appreciate what they do."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"It's a complex tool and should be simplified."
"Support could be better with response time and knowledge of staff."
"They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service’s initial setup is a bit difficult."
"The product should improve its price."
"In the next release, they could add some customization options for high computer workloads."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"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."
