We performed a comparison between Linode and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"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 most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"I find the interface to be great."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"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."
"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."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
