We performed a comparison between Linode and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 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)."The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The product is stable, reliable, and easy to use, from a well-known company, has a large volume handling capacity, and more and more organizations are moving to OpenShift."
"The solution's security throughout the stack and the software supply chain is very reliable. When it was on-prem, it was by default secured by our company firewalls and security tools, and now it's in the cloud, which has its security and systems in place. This provides stability to our infrastructure."
"They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution."
"Autoscaling is an excellent feature that makes it very simple to scale our applications as required."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"The most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"Everything is packaged into OpenShift Container Platform."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"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."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"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."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"It can take 10 to 15 minutes to deploy a microservice. The CI/CD process takes a long time, and if it's because of OCP, that is something that can be changed."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"The price needs to be improved in OpenShift Container Platform. When I choose this, the product is the first factor that we have to make a long analysis to compare the real cost for the other services. However, price is high."
"OpenShift has a pretty steep learning curve. It's not an easy tool to use. It's not only OpenShift but Kubernetes itself. The good thing is that Red Hat provides specific targeted training. There are five or six pieces of training where you can get certifications. The licenses for OpenShift are pretty expensive, so they could be cheaper because the competition isn't sleeping, and Red Hat must take that into account."
"The support costs are too high."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"The initial setup can be hard."
"One area for improvement is that we can't currently run Docker inside a container, as it clashes with security consents. It would be good if we could change that."
