Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Google, Nasuni and others in Cloud Storage."There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"The solution is very flexible."
"What I like most about Google Cloud Storage is that it's very stable, very quick, and very useful."
"The most valuable features are stability and ease of use."
"The combination of Firebase features, including storage, the Firebase database, and authentication, has been the most valuable. Firebase offers Google authentication, which is convenient for our needs. Additionally, Firebase provides email authentication and Gmail authentication, which are easy to set up and integrate into our applications."
"It's very practical and reliable."
"Google Cloud Storage performs well and it's easy to use."
"The feature we've found most valuable is the ability to access our data anywhere, anytime."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"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 cloud management panel is nice."
"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 features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"Additional cost for more storage"
"I would like to see better pricing."
"User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users."
"It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones."
"A lower cost, lower-end solution for a shared file system is missing."
"I'm not really comfortable with the user interface because I don't use it very often."
"The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature."
"The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"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."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better 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."
