Reviews of Scaleway
Alternatives Considered:
The best cloud solutions for any project you need
Comments: Scaleway offers high performance with affordable pricing ,which clearly makes the difference over all cloud services available.
Pros:
Easy to self-provision services and with lower prices than the global competence.
Cons:
For this last 3 years I've only faced issues with with instances being unresponsive three times, though this is an expected bevahiour in any cloud environment. Having Support team engaged provide a solution within few hours.
One of the best provider I ever used
Comments: A lot of improvements the last few years, reasonable prices, and top notch technology.
Pros:
Everything is self-service, you can easily predict your bills, service is stable and customer support, on Slack, is awesome !
Cons:
- Missing managed MongoDB hosting- That's it.
Lost all my data
Comments: Stay away if you're doing anything at all that you dont want to throw away.
Pros:
While there is value for money, they lose your data at the drop of a hat.
Cons:
Rebooted my server to find that all my data had been lost with no way to recover. This happened twice.
Alternatives Considered:
My experience with Scaleway
Pros:
Ease of use when it comes to setup, scaling and installation, also the wide image library.
Cons:
Network stability is one of the biggest issues I've had over the years of being a Scaleway customer, but I've seen it greatly improve over the last few months.
Alternatives Considered:
It is possible to grow with low costs
Comments: In my case I use scaleway to instantiate applications and hostings. By having low costs, I have been able to grow without having to invest large amounts of money, and feeling supported as the service has always been excellent.
Pros:
I have used various VPS services and scaleway has fair instances that allow small businesses to grow. The console is excellent, it allows the customization of what is just and necessary. It has helped me to be able to increase my sales without having an excessive cost.
Cons:
I think it would be nice to have databases at a slightly lower cost, for general use.
