Deciding Factors: Akamai Cloud Vs. Market Average

Akamai Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

The biggest deciding factor in moving all of our cloud services to Linode was their support. They are always quick to respond, and often go above and beyond in providing additional context, information, or options we hadn't considered.

Like

India options for data centers and PaaS services.

Like

Easy to use. Great value. Excellent support.

Dislike

We operate in Canada, so not having the option to be billed in Canadian dollars makes budgeting and forecasting a little more difficult due to the fluctuating exchange rate.

Dislike

Difficult to find relevant info in the public doc.

Dislike

Some missing features have forced us to do workarounds, but we still make it work.
