Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."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."
"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."
"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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"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 product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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 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."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"Its cost can be improved."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"Could be more intuitive."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
