We performed a comparison between Linode and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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 feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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 could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
