"Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"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."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The solution should have two factor authentication."
"The solution should offer more free storage."
"I'd like the solution to integrate better with other clouds, including the Apple cloud."
"Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics."
"It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The solution must provide some accessibility features."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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 don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"The product must improve its security."
