We performed a comparison between Linode and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 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)."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 ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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 most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"Everything is packaged into OpenShift Container Platform."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution can be deployed in the cloud which removes the expense of a server."
"They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution."
"The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"The solution's security throughout the stack and the software supply chain is very reliable. When it was on-prem, it was by default secured by our company firewalls and security tools, and now it's in the cloud, which has its security and systems in place. This provides stability to our infrastructure."
"OpenShift provides tools that tell me everything I have on a container, and I can make it on-premise or on a cloud infrastructure."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"The setup process is not great."
"Container Platform could be improved if we could aggregate logs out of the box instead of having to do it through integrations with other products."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"One area for improvement is that we can't currently run Docker inside a container, as it clashes with security consents. It would be good if we could change that."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"In my experience, the issues are not always simply technical. They do stem from technical challenges, but they struggle with the topic of adoption. When you encounter all of the customer pull, there are normally several tiers of your client pop that can adopt either the fundamental features or a little more advanced ones. The majority of the time, the challenge is determining how to drive adoption, how to sell the product to the customer, and how much time they can spend to really utilize those advanced features. If we get into much more detail, but this is from my perspective as the platform engineer and not the end customer, the ability of the end user to be able to debug potential issues with their application That is arguably the most important, let's say, work throughput in my area."
