Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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 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."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"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."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"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 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."
"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."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
