We performed a comparison between Linode and Red Hat 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 solution integrates easily."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"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."
"OpenShift is a user-friendly container platform with a solid GUI that helps you follow what is going on and gives you an overview of all your clusters. It's more user-friendly than the Kubernetes itself. The interface helps you learn the platform and provides access to some features or specific comments."
"They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"The console or the GUI of OpenShift is awesome. You can do a lot of things from there. You can perform administration tasks as well as development tasks."
"The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution can be deployed in the cloud which removes the expense of a server."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"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."
"The setup process is not great."
"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."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"The UI could be more user-friendly to drive tasks more effectively through the interface."
"In my experience, the issues are not always simply technical. They do stem from technical challenges, but they struggle with the topic of adoption. When you encounter all of the customer pull, there are normally several tiers of your client pop that can adopt either the fundamental features or a little more advanced ones. The majority of the time, the challenge is determining how to drive adoption, how to sell the product to the customer, and how much time they can spend to really utilize those advanced features. If we get into much more detail, but this is from my perspective as the platform engineer and not the end customer, the ability of the end user to be able to debug potential issues with their application That is arguably the most important, let's say, work throughput in my area."
"OpenShift Container Platform could improve by having better integration."
"From a networking perspective, the routing capability can be matured further. OpenShift doesn't handle restrictions on what kind of IPs are allowed, who can access them, and who cannot access them. So it is a simple matter of just using it with adequate network access, at the network level."
"Whenever we onboard or deploy services that talk to Oracle Database, they take a lot of time to become active and serve the incoming request, so it would be good to see some improvement here. This could be an OpenShift issue or an internal network problem within our organization."
