Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The solution integrates easily."
"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 simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"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 solution is stable."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 product must improve its security."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
"Could be more intuitive."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
