Overall Satisfaction with Vultr

Vultr is used for our support lab setup. Vultr allows us to easily create VMs to test out our products. It gives direct access to a public IP which is a huge bonus when working with SIP. In addition to this Vultrs interface is one of the best I've seen. As I find AWS/Google cloud have a bigger learning curve. The same holds true for pricing, with Vultr I know exactly how much I am paying, but I can't say the same for other providers.

Pros

  • Rock Solid Up Time and Stability
  • Easy To Use Interface
  • Simple Billing

Cons

  • More S3 storage options for longer term storage needs
  • More advanced failover options. I should be able to configure a VM to reside within multiple data centers.
  • Quicker snapshot restore time
  • Quick to expand our lab during weeks when more systems are needed, in a very cost efficient way.
  • Creates a separation from our corp network.
  • Low cost $5 systems are still very fast and each has its own public IP.
It has helped since we just require VMs for the most part. You can get a great lab system for $5 and if you need something to run a production server this can easily be done for under $50 a month.
These are used for lab systems, so it doesn't directly impact our global customers. However the fact that we can spin up a system closer to a particular customer has helped as well.

Do you think Vultr delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Vultr's feature set?

Yes

Did Vultr live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Vultr go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Vultr again?

Yes

It is well suited for the features it provides. The platform is rock solid and works great without any bugs or issues.

It is not suited well if you need advanced storage levels (cold storage) and if you want more redundancy options.

It is also unclear how much redundancy is baked into its S3 compatible storage, or its VMs being stored and backed up at a single data center. Just knowing this would really good.
