Lumen Public Cloud (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Remote work solutions are critical for our business. Scalability for us to work with our clients and the ability to get more done. Speed is our most important feature and we have been happy with the performance of the Lumen Public Cloud.

Like

redundant multi site cloud with reginal access to datacenters. the network interconnectivity is across its own backbone and doesn't have to go through various providers unless you want it to.

Like

1. Moving to the cloud has saved us money on hardware 2. We are also saving money because we were able to remove our DR site 3. This checks compliance needs for our business

Dislike

We are not always about to get the help we need, some of the service reps have lacked the knowledge to get us resolutions to the problems we were experiencing. Some have spend extensive amounts of time researching where others had quick solutions.

Dislike

billing, customer service department and being transferred 12 times anytime i needed to speak to anyone.

Dislike

1. The learning curve is a bit steep 2. The need to be cost aware on what instances we utilize and costs associated for using them 3. Sometimes hard to get a hold of good support explain features.

    Storing Data in the Cloud can be scary, but CenturyLink has earned my trust

    5.0
    Oct 8, 2020
    With the recent changes to our work environment due to COVID, a larger remote workforce has brought the realization and need for a better remote cloud solution. At the same time, penetration risks is something I have worried about with other solutions in our portfolio, but I have not had to worry about these vulnerabilities with CenturyLink because their name & history have gained confidence in other customers which is obvious when reading other reviews. The ability to store all data, files, presentations, etc. without the gigantic price tag of on-premise solutions means it's worth 20 minutes of your time to look further into CenturyLink as your potential Cloud storage vendor.
