We performed a comparison between Linode and MinIO based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."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."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The solution integrates easily."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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 ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"The most valuable features are that MinIO is open, it works on-premise, and is compatible with the Amazon industry which is great for finding compatible libraries in many languages which is very good for developers."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"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."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"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."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"The tool’s pricing needs to improve. We also encountered challenges while deploying the tool in Kubernetes. The documentation also was not too great. We have currently deployed the solution in a stand-alone fashion."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"There should be the ability to expand the size after it has already been deployed. Currently, you cannot do that. It doesn't support an increase in size. Each time we spawn a new MinIO, we need to track the particular MinIO instance or tenant that has the file. Therefore, we had to create a multi-tenant solution that tracks the MinIO that has our artifacts. It isn't in one single instance. It should have better multi-tenancy support."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
