Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The solution is easy to scale and implement and provides performance monitoring and management tools."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I like the per-second billing."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"ECS is a useful platform."
"Implementing the product has helped me monitor the parameters. I utilize tools like CloudWatch and AWS systems to track these parameters. If any issues arise, I alert our developer team to address and resolve them. The product helps to have a global file system. Also, it helps in data replication from region to region."
"Good documentation and very straightforward to implement and use."
"The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"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 get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"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 most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service should include more enterprise project management features, typically available in an OpenShift environment."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"I think that it would help if the vendor provided more use cases and explanations as to how ECS can be utilized."
"In the next release, they could add some customization options for high computer workloads."
"I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten. It easily dies."
"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."
"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 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."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"Its cost can be improved."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
