We performed a comparison between Linode and MinIO based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"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."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"The product does save time for our company."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"The product must improve its security."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for 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 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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"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."
"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."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"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."
