Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"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."
"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."
"The product must improve its security."
"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."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
