Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The cloud management panel is nice."
"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."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"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."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"The scalability could be improved."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
