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."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"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 cloud management panel is nice."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The most valuable features are that MinIO is open, it works on-premise, and is compatible with the Amazon industry which is great for finding compatible libraries in many languages which is very good for developers."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"The tool’s integration is very easy. This feature has helped us reduce development time. The solution also has many out-of-the-box features like versioning support and management of roles and permissions. The product also supports clustered deployment."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"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."
"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."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"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 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."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"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."
