Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"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."
"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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"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."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"The customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"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."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"The product must improve its security."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"Could be more intuitive."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
