Overall Satisfaction with Akamai Cloud Computing

We used the cloud platform to create virtual private servers, on which we installed Linux Debian OS and WordPress. We also created other VPSs to test and experiment with different software. We wanted complete control of the server at an affordable price. Akamai (Linode) provided fast computing and zero downtime. We especially wanted the cloud platform to be easy to understand and to allow us to install software quickly.

Pros

  • Friendly user interface.
  • Fast computing.
  • Generous bandwidth.

Cons

  • Give more RAM for the price.
  • Increase hard drive space.
  • Price could be less.
  • Saved time by reducing tedious tasks.
  • Quickly setup test servers.
  • Good CPU Performance.
  • Fast Network.
Support was excellent and fast. The documentation is extensive and helpful. I learned many things from their online documentation. I did not contact them by phone, but email took a day or less. Complex problems would probably need a service contract. I liked the friendly and polite tone of the support.

Do you think Akamai Cloud Computing delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did Akamai Cloud Computing live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Akamai Cloud Computing go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Akamai Cloud Computing again?

Yes

Linode does a super job if you want to run a custom application or install your own Linux software. We installed WordPress and a radio station. They both ran smoothly. It is easy to upgrade the CPU and RAM without destroying your server. Hard drive space could have more options. We could also monitor the speed and storage.
