We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Storage and Linode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Public Cloud Storage Services."The most valuable feature is that it frees up space in your device by allowing you to store your files on the cloud and provides 15GB storage for free."
"The solution is stable and has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the cryptographic technology."
"The solution is scalable."
"Google Cloud Storage's most valuable feature is the native algorithms are available. Some of the algorithms are not available for the use cases that we had in Microsoft Azure. We didn't find any native algorithms and that's the reason why we decided to use the machine learning algorithms in GCP."
"What I like about this program, is that it's quite fast, because you pay for your usage."
"It's a stable enough solution."
"There's no implementation process."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"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."
"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."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution made faster, cheaper, and bigger."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution should offer more free storage."
"The solution only allows so much space for free."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money."
"The solution must provide some accessibility features."
"The tool should be cheaper."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"The product must improve its security."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"Its cost can be improved."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
