11:11 Public Cloud vs. Media Temple IaaS Cloud

When shared with multiple teams, I could not find many products better than this. I enjoyed working in this aspect, it was smooth in cross-teams transferring. They have a good foundation of technology I would say, the thing it is lacking is in the usability for non-technical people. I have seen many struggling with this aspect.

I think Media Temple is well suited for a somewhat tech-savvy and sophisticated dev shop that wants something powerful to use but doesn't want the complexity of something like Rackspace or AWS. If you don't need an insane level of control and would have something more on a managed basis, Media Tempe IaaS is the way to go.

• I needed support for many modules, where I think I was not satisfied.
• The detailing of each module is lacking.
• If you form clutter of files, there is no solution for it.

• There are often errors with automatic updates and management of 3rd party tools including software such as Plesk.
• I think the communication options could be improved. It isn't as easy to set up alerts as you would want.
• Your plans are grandfathered so you are somewhat stuck with an old plan.

Support is completely inflexible in their policies and procedures, turning even the simplest request into a months-long ordeal.

I would select Sungard on the basis of technology foundation and functionality. It gave me an ample amount of features which I could use in a better way. The inter-team communication gets a better structure than the other products. I would use it on the basis of the above mentioned points. This has proven to be a good support for my team.

We've been using both DreamHost and Media Temple for years and Media Temple has a better overall experience, offering a more robust solution in terms of scalability and customization. On the other hand, DreamHost has great support and a better pricing policy. So it depends on what are you looking for and your budget as well.
