Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The customer service and support are really good."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The number one thing we like about Linode isn't necessarily a service, it's their support. We've found their support to be absolutely fantastic. They've been so outstanding with their support. Every single time we call them and we ask for advice or help, they go above and beyond and it's really made us appreciate what they do."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"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 ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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 most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"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."
"Its cost can be improved."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"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."
