Scality ARTESCA
Chose Scality ARTESCA
In reality, it did not become a substitute for AWS, since it allowed us to maintain a much more compact and rigid system by taking advantage of the support and evolutionary trend that Scality has and keeping AWS as a leader.
Chose Scality ARTESCA
Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data …
Vultr
Chose Vultr
Price to performance ratio and ease of managemenated
Chose Vultr
Cost of bandwidth and network quality for us is what mattered.
Chose Vultr
Vultr is cheaper than most providers. Only contabo is cheaper, but they have lower uptime.
Chose Vultr
Vultr comes in at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of the breadth of the services they provide compared to the larger vendors, but they are consistently demonstrating their commitment to growing their service offering and platform features. We selected Vultr because of …
Chose Vultr
Vultr has a greater offering of servers whilst staying reasonably priced compared to some of the larger infrastructure providers. They may not have all the services as some of the other providers but they don't need it when they can do what they do with the services they provide.
Chose Vultr
Hetzner has no managed service, and EKS was roughly twice the price.
Chose Vultr
On shared services, such as VPS, I have noticed greater confidence of usability and resource availability with Vultr.
Chose Vultr
We did extensive performance comparisons and testing and Vultr was not only better priced, but much better on the performance and speed.
Chose Vultr
AWS and Azure are too complicated and costly for small businesses like ours.
Chose Vultr
Vultr has better support and competitive pricing. The network is solid and globally deployed. IP reputation is clean, and security is tight. Ease of use and documentation is really good. User experience has been the best I ever experienced. Low stress, reliable …
Chose Vultr
The performance beats upcloud. The only thing I really liked about upcloud better was the backup offerings. They had more flexible backup plans, but I love the every other night plan on Vultr as well.
Chose Vultr
AWS and Google Cloud are great platforms, but the price is complex and their VMs are rather expensive for what they are. I believe these services may be better for more mission critical servers or taking advantage of being able to use their cloud servers rather than just run a …
Chose Vultr
Server updates are clear and always noticed on the platform which my last company did not have clear.
Chose Vultr
CloudCo was not listed. In comparison, the pricing of the competition is in a place where I wouldn't retain any margin for smaller customers, that's why I use Vultr for those. Vultr's self serve interface and UI is much better and more customizable for the general architect. If …
Chose Vultr
Vultr has been a more cost effective solution in some areas. Compared to AWS EC2, Vultr has been a lot more cost effective for our environment. Vultr has the right vCPU, RAM, and storage for our needs. In the object storage space, Vultr has not been the best fit for our …
Chose Vultr
Vultr offers the same services as all the major cloud providers however Vulr offers a clear pricing modeling with no hidden fees. This has been incisive in deciding which provider to go with. I have never encountered any downtime with their services Technically, Vultr has the …
Chose Vultr
Incredible performance to cost ratio. I absolutely love Vultr for minimizing costs associated with running a one-man operation.
Chose Vultr
They are very similar but we are more comfortable with Vultr
Chose Vultr
From the perspective of the above, Vultr provides the best balance of cost vs. performance for us. Cloudways stacks a large fee for each VPS you spin up, and this quickly escalates. Linode comes closest (at least when I used it a few years ago) to Vultr, and 3 years ago this …
Chose Vultr
Vultr is much easier to get started with, less things to configure, a simpler interface. To deploy and manage a server is much easier. I am sure for a production SaaS app there are features in AWS and Azure that are needed, but for dev/test environment, I prefer Vultr.
Chose Vultr
It is reliable, stable and very manageable, but, I think, very expensive too
Chose Vultr
Vultr is a dream to use after coming from AWS - the products are intuitively named, don't require gaining a certification to use, and have better documentation.
Vultr's documentation is a little less comprehensive and organized than google cloud's; however, its pricing and …
Wasabi Object Storage
Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Azure was too expensive for a cold solution. While it was backed up across 3 different data centers, it wasnt worth the cost. Google cloud is comparable in price, but Google is Google. And they arent good for DoD backups as your data could end up in a foriegn datacenter.
Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.

Scality ARTESCAVultrWasabi Object Storage
Likelihood to Recommend
When high availability and keeping sensitive information safe are top priority Scality is a great option and has good features that make it ideal for these type of applications. For small companies with limited resources to administer extensive systems Scality would not be a good match. It takes people dedicated to this platform to keep it functioning at its best.

Vultr is amazing for anyone who needs a server and wants to spend time taking care of it, or for someone who wants in on it. WordPress Minecraft kids can use Votr. The scenario is not as appropriate for the people who do not have as much technical knowledge and capacity and don't want to invest in it, not because of Votr itself, but because VPS is not kids' play. Even though we have a Minecraft server and they're quite easy, there will come a time when, if you put your business infrastructure inside Vultr or any VPS, you need to take care of it. Otherwise, it will have a problem.

If you have a huge collection of files where they are unlikely to change over time, like videos and photos, then Wasabi is a great place to back things up.

  • The web-based Supervisor GUI and Grafana statistics allow you to drill down into historical data in many ways.
  • Easy for the end user to use.
  • The system works so well that we now use it for scalable file system storage and disk-to-disk backups.

  • The uptime is perfect . If there are any downtimes it is well informed and its in non - production hours to ensure that the systems are not hit
  • Accessibility and the dashboard is amazing where you have full control over the VPS system.

Cons
  • From my limited experience, I have not seen anything that needs to be improved. I have found the product to be easy to use.
Read full review
  • the ability of increasing a specific configuration without the need of upgrading the whole plan, for example i might need to add more memory but i'm satisfied with my current processors and hard disk capacity (or vise versa)
  • Solving the problems of taking an image to the server if the server capacity (hard disk) is bigger than 1TB (which i'm currently facing a big problem because of that)

  • Id love to see them add a FIPS compliant container to allow for secure storage for DoD.

Just a great product with no bells and whistles, which is the advantage. We spend very little time learning and using Vultr and more time using the systems we have in Vultr to complete our tasks. Not having to worry about the IT overhead is huge and saves a great deal of time

Usability
As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

Vultr makes it easy to contact technical support. The techs are very competent. In a number of occasions they have bounced the responsibility back to me when they could have saved us all time and heartache by simply implementing the solution directly

Vultr implementation seemed based on open-source tools and basic cloud principles - some things were more complicated to do compared with more developed cloud providers, but on the other hand it was more extensible by open-source tools.

  • Moving from Cloudways to Vultr (with GridPane) has saved us over $100 per month.
  • Placing servers near customer's clients is invaluable. Customers notice.
