We performed a comparison between Linode and NGINX Plus 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)."The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"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."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"-"
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"They could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."
"Its cost can be improved."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"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."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"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."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"The scalability could be improved."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
