CenturyLink Public Cloud (discontinued) vs. Lumen Edge Private Cloud

I believe for small to mid business application hosting Centurylink provides an adequate service. When moving to larger scale business enviornments I believe the limitations, slowness is going to become a problem

CenturyLink Private Cloud is well suited for companies that are smaller and wouldn't have to undergo scaling for a longer time. Apart from that, it does well in almost all categories. It wouldn't actually be useful for bigger companies since the UI is a bit laggy sometimes and usually, it's not advisable for big companies.

• Perhaps ease of use - it's not convoluted but a little more streamlined of an interface would be great
• Make your presence more known - in a world of heavily advertised cloud options CenturyLink is not at the top of the pile and I think it may be due to a lack of awareness in the business community. Advertise!
• Streamline functionality - interface can be a little slow at times.

• UI can be really improved, since it sometimes lags a lot
• Very few know about the product, so they should advertise a bit more
• There maybe scaling issues since it's a relatively smaller company compared to its competitors

I did not select the application hosting environment - I was a user. That being said I do not have much of a voice in the difference between hosted services that I have experienced.

It doesn't stack up that well against them, since these are big companies and have huge infrastructures and they provide smooth scaling features. However CenturyLink Private Cloud is a little concise and not many people know about it, so I feel like they should advertise more and try to improve their customer outreach.

• We reduced our cloud hosting costs a lot after switching to CenturyLink Private Cloud
• Maintenance is very easy since there is documentation available for every part
• It had some issues with the UI but we can neglect those considering the pricing options they provide.
