"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"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 creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"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."
"Its cost can be improved."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"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."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
