"The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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 simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"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."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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 fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"The product must improve its security."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
