We performed a comparison between Linode and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway 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)."Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"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."
"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 cloud management panel is nice."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"WAF feature replicates the firewall."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"Application Gateway automatically redirects unwanted users and takes care of the security aspect. It also handles the performance side of things, which is why we use it."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"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."
"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."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high. The solution should offer different pricing systems."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"I believe that there is room for improvement in terms of additional functionality. It is an advantage to have features readily available for configuration without needing customer-defined rules."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
