Perhaps users don't have any complaints about their management interface? Do you?
Perhaps users mostly want performance and value which have been greatly improved by their substantial infrastructure upgrades?
- smackfu 11y agoNot doing regular improvements is how you end up being years behind your competitors, without even noticing it, and having to do a huge rewrite just to achieve parity.
- kawsper 11y agoYes. Their IP Failover is really badly documented and hard to work with. Their Nodebalancers are noticeably slow, the interface is alright, but you are better off setting up your own loadbalancer. I feel that static networking could be made easier, and more automatic when I am adding a new node. Their stackscripts should be able to receive parameters for when it is running, and the error-reporting should be better. I had issues where my scripts wouldn't run and I had no idea why. Other than that, I am a happy customer.
- johnmaguire2013 11y agoI agree that networking is a pain point in terms of front-end interface. It's not horrid, but it could be improved. I'd love to see them offer a storage solution as other commenters have mentioned.

- kawsper 11y agoOh that was hidden away, I have never seen that interface before, thanks!
- daflip 11y agoWhen was the last time you added a node? New nodes default to 'automatic' networking now which configures /etc/network/interfaces automatically
- kawsper 11y agoI scale up and down weekly. I didn't know about that, I will look into it, do I just need to add static networking to the node?
- astrodust 11y agoPerhaps those complaints just get ignored. I know Digital Ocean's control panel has improved several times since their launch, and their ability to launch instances with a complete stack is extremely useful. Linode has done nothing here. They point to their badly documented StackScripts system and shrug. There's a hundred things Linode could do to make user's lives easier and they've done maybe two or three of them.
