Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) Reviews

We are hosting Linux virtual machines and load balancers over there. This is the infrastructure we have over there. Apart from that, we are using a firewall from the Linode side. These are the three Linode components that we are using.

We have not explored Linode too much. We are just restricted to VMs, load balancers, and the firewall. We are currently not hosting a lot over there. We are not facing any challenges with it. We are looking into hosting some replicated storage there.

It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time. This is how the cloud supported us. Earlier, we were in our own data center. It was in-house infrastructure, but we moved over to the cloud. It allows us to scale services as the demand increases over time.

Its cost can be improved.

I have been using Linode for almost four to five years.

We never had any problem with scalability while using AWS, Azure, or Linode.

I would rate their support an eight out of ten.

Positive

Before Linode, we used Azure. We have used AWS. Both Azure and AWS have too many offerings. They have different types of offerings in terms of PaaS, SaaS, and many other solutions, but Linode focuses more on the open-source technology side and the infrastructure as a service side. It has less capability when it comes to the PaaS and SaaS Platforms.

Overall, it is cost-effective. They offer flat, no lock-in pricing. We also get discounts.

As compared to its competitors, it is costly, but at the same time, it has many features. In terms of functionality and features, it offers more capability, but it is also costly.

With any cloud computing product, the foremost requirement is performance, and along with that, there should be cost-effectiveness. These are two major factors for us to decide whether we should have the service of a cloud service provider or not.

Go for Linode if you want to host the infrastructure as a service. It is much cheaper than AWS and Azure. For SaaS and PaaS services, you can explore AWS and Azure. For infrastructure as a service, Linode is a lot more cost-effective than AWS and Azure.

I would rate Linode a nine out of ten. It is a leader. We have used other products as well, and it has much more capability as compared to them.

Its user-friendly interface and convenient administrator panel allow me to quickly and easily manage my services.

Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services. Its simplicity makes it a more straightforward choice compared to AWS, which can be more complex and costly.

There is room for improvement regarding customer support.

I have been working with it for two years.

It offers good stability capabilities.

It is a scalable solution.

I am not satisfied with their customer support services. They should improve the effectiveness of it by enhancing the response time.

The initial setup was easy and quick.

Over the past two years, I installed a total of seven machine instances on Linode. It has been easy to manage them.

It is quite affordable, which makes it a great choice.

It is superior to other services offered in Taiwan. It can operate swiftly and allows us to back up and restore the system conveniently. Right now, we are facing VM interruption, so I would rate it eight out of ten.

We use this solution in our company and we deploy it for our customers. I'm a manager for the developer team and we are a user of Linode.

I'm satisfied overall with this solution, it's easy to integrate. 

Unfortunately, we're not notified when new upgrades come out so it's difficult for us to communicate with our customers. Added to this is an issue we have with the maintenance service which contributes to the difficulty in communication. I'd like to see a Lambda storage service or an S3 as an additional feature. 

I've been using this solution for eight years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable and extendable if we change the CPU or memory limit.

The deployment is very easy. 

 We pay a monthly fee with the calculation done on an hourly basis. 

We're currently also using Amazon for our customers that have complex architecture or complex applications.

We use Linode as a server.

The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it.

The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other. 

We've been using Linode for a long time—several years. 

Linode is stable, and they have their own cloud. 

We have about 100 users on the Linode server.

Deployment is easy. I deploy whatever I want.

Compared to other solutions, Linode's price is good. We pay for a yearly license. 

I rate Linode eight out of 10.
