Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."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 fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"WAF feature replicates the firewall."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"Its cost can be improved."
"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."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
