Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"MinIO has behaved strangely in the past. For instance, the application dropped connection to MinIO. It's not too significant, but it loses connection. We're trying to understand exactly what is happening when this happens."
"The MinIO dashboard is minimal as there are only a couple of features inside the dashboard for a basic user. I would like this to be more robust with more click-around features."
"The Distributed User Interface (DUI) needs some work. It's hard to view a large set of data on the DUI. It's an issue with the DUI's performance."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"With problems, visibility is hard because everything is in containers. Difficult to get to the logs in order to figure out what the problem was."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"The developer support could be better."
