Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"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."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The solution integrates easily."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"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."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The solution is stable."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"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."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"Its cost can be improved."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
