We performed a comparison between Linode and MinIO 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."
"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."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"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."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The features that I have found most valuable with MinIO is its coding bit rot protection and how it distributes the workload over all the servers."
"The container installation features are good. The S3 feature provisions the storage buckets making it easy. It allows me to spin up the public buckets with open-source technology."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"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."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"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."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"There should be the ability to expand the size after it has already been deployed. Currently, you cannot do that. It doesn't support an increase in size. Each time we spawn a new MinIO, we need to track the particular MinIO instance or tenant that has the file. Therefore, we had to create a multi-tenant solution that tracks the MinIO that has our artifacts. It isn't in one single instance. It should have better multi-tenancy support."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"The tool’s pricing needs to improve. We also encountered challenges while deploying the tool in Kubernetes. The documentation also was not too great. We have currently deployed the solution in a stand-alone fashion."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"With problems, visibility is hard because everything is in containers. Difficult to get to the logs in order to figure out what the problem was."
