Overall Satisfaction with Vultr

Providing online services that depend on uptime is important. Vultr has provided over 5 years of dependable server instances that enable us to provide 99.99% uptime. Additionally, Vultr manages power redundancy so that we do not need to make the costly agreements with the power provider, or adequate backup solutions. Additionally, business internet is expensive. Vultr servers have access to high bandwidth preventing bottlenecks that would otherwise be cost prohibitive in an on premise solution. There is a balance between on-prem and datacenter based services, and Vultr has enabled us to find the happy medium that meets the needs of our customers.

Pros

  • Simple Server Deployment
  • Easy to Scale
  • Excellent communication around service disruptions
  • Consistent low latency and access to servers

Cons

  • Object storage is not as competitive as competition
  • Lack of object storage tiers, or other colder storage options
  • Increased customer satisfaction from uptime
  • Decreased website load times
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 environment. This is too bad because our object storage solution is slower because it is not hosted within the same datacenter, this has been something that we have worked around with minimal issue.

Did Vultr live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Vultr go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Vultr again?

Yes

My experience with Vultr has been excellent. We use bare metal servers, and they are reliable, consistent, and meet our needs. In our environment, we don't need all the offerings of Vultr, but deployment of the services we have needed has been seamless. Vultr seems well suited to smaller teams that need flexibility and agility in the startup phase, or for small/medium business that are looking to self-manage their own services but are looking for a server in a datacenter to provide the reliability, managed backups, and consistent service.
