We performed a comparison between Linode and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway 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 feature is the domain settings page."
"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 most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"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."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"It does an excellent job of load balancing."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date."
"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."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"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."
"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."
"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 increased security that we are considering is because of some of the things that the security team has brought to our attention. They have pointed out that we would most likely require a better web application firewall than Azure Application Gateway."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
