Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"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."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The software is user-friendly and straightforward to use, which is favorable to a developer."
"The most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"Centralized control of container resources is most valuable."
"It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers."
"The solution is stable. However, it depends on the integrations of the solution on how stable it will be, such as what tools you integrate with."
"The solution's security throughout the stack and the software supply chain is very reliable. When it was on-prem, it was by default secured by our company firewalls and security tools, and now it's in the cloud, which has its security and systems in place. This provides stability to our infrastructure."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"I think it's a pretty scalable tool...The solution's technical support has been pretty good."
"Its cost can be improved."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"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 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."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"OpenShift needs to improve their container storage."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"The support costs are too high."
"OpenShift Container Platform could improve by having better integration."
"The setup process is not great."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"The solution needs to introduce open ID connect integration for role-based access control."
