We performed a comparison between Linode and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution integrates easily."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"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."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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."
"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."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"Customer service could be improved."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
