"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Feedback and error messages make much more sense in Azure than in AWS."
"Azure has improved my organization because it is a new technology and so the customers who don't have enough knowledge about the cloud delegate the administration of their cloud infrastructure to us. We incorporate and add a new service to our product lineup about how to manage their Azure. It impacts our business because we're able to incorporate this new service."
"The solution is secure and easy to use."

"Could be more user friendly; security features should be improved."
"If you compare it with AWS, it is not very friendly to use. I find the UI better to work with on AWS."
