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.

If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service.

Cons
Lumen Technologies
  • 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

  • The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified
  • A control panel function would be useful
  • The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

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 trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues.

Return on Investment
Lumen Technologies
  • 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.

  • The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing
  • To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean
