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."The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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 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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"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."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"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 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."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"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."
"The product must improve its security."
"Its cost can be improved."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
