We performed a comparison between Linode and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The solution integrates easily."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"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."
"The product must improve its security."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"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."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"Customer service could be improved."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
