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."Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
