Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We use Linode as our go-to external Linux VM solution. Linode is used by various technical users in our company. The reasons we use Linode instead of other cloud companies are 1) ease of use, 2) stability, and 3) performance. Various people at our company have been using Linode since the early 2000s. I've never had unplanned downtime or lost a Linode, unlike our experience at other leading cloud providers. I've also found that the servers tend to perform better than advertised. I trust Linode.
- We've used Linode to host some aspects of our Splunk enviroment because the cost vs. performance curve is second to none.
- We use a smaller Linode server to host and redirect domains because the performance is great for the price.
- We've used short term linodes to test software and various configurations.
- I'd like to see some of the more advanced AWS features, like Lamba functions
- I'd like to see a managed database offering
- A virtual private cloud offering would be great
- Enterprise features and management would be nice
- We haven't measured ROI, but it's a lot easier to use than AWS and cheaper than hosting our own hardware.
We haven't measured TCO or ROI. However, I think the reliability and performance are second to none. Some of our customers use AWS, Azure, and Google. We find the performance to be better in Linode (especially across data centers). Linode is much easier to use than those services.
We've never lost a Linode, unlike our experience with AWS. In AWS we've had servers dissappear. That's never happend with Linode. We've never had unplanned downtime with Linode.
