We performed a comparison between Linode and OpenShift Container Platform 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 simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"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."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable are security features, particularly when operating in the cloud."
"The tool's most valuable features include high availability, scalability, and security. Other features like advanced cluster management, advanced cluster security, and Red Hat Quay make it powerful for businesses. It also comes with features like OpenShift Virtualization."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"The best feature is the management for the port life cycle, which automatically recycles, pulls, and scales up and down based on needs and requests."
"I have found the ability to scale up is most valuable."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"It’s user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."
"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."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"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 would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
"It is difficult to deploy the OpenShift cluster in a bare-metal environment."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"The solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"It can take 10 to 15 minutes to deploy a microservice. The CI/CD process takes a long time, and if it's because of OCP, that is something that can be changed."
