Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."We use the product for website and email database hosting."
"The solution is quite scalable and allows you to launch multiple EC2s within minutes."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"It has helped our organization greatly and especially on weekends because we have many transactions as our users are buying some kind of tools and paying online."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service serves the function it's supposed to serve."
"Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool for managing containers."
"Performance is our top priority. So, if we need to deploy on a high-specification machine, we can choose it from the software. If we just need a low-specification one, we can just choose it based on the requirement handling software configuration."
"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."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"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."
"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure."
"The solution’s UI should be improved."
"The solution must improve backup and compatibility around OS like Windows and Mac."
"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."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"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."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
