Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"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 ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"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."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"In my experience, Microsoft products have a smooth integration and facilitate easy management and monitoring. Using Azure Application Gateway allows us to efficiently handle the system loads."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"WAF feature replicates the firewall."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"The product must improve its security."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products."
"We have encountered some issues with automatic redirection and cancellation, leading to 502 and 504 gateway errors. So, I experienced some trouble with containers."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
