Scaleway reviews

The best cloud solutions for any project you need

Opmerkingen: Scaleway offers high performance with affordable pricing ,which clearly makes the difference over all cloud services available.

Pluspunten:

Easy to self-provision services and with lower prices than the global competence.

Minpunten:

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

Opmerkingen: A lot of improvements the last few years, reasonable prices, and top notch technology.

Pluspunten:

Everything is self-service, you can easily predict your bills, service is stable and customer support, on Slack, is awesome !

Minpunten:

- Missing managed MongoDB hosting- That's it.

Scaleway is a good backup product for a good price

Pluspunten:

Cloud backup storage is cheap and has most of the functionality of Amazon.

Minpunten:

Getting data into glacier was a pain. They only have two sites both in Europe.

My experience with Scaleway

Pluspunten:

Ease of use when it comes to setup, scaling and installation, also the wide image library.

Minpunten:

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.

It is possible to grow with low costs

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

I think it would be nice to have databases at a slightly lower cost, for general use.

Scaleway VPS

Opmerkingen: From ordering to vps provisioning, everything is automized. Their customer service is also nice and friendly.

Pluspunten:

A all-in-one solution for server admins: high-quality vps with the lowest possible price, flexible IPs, free internal networking, S3 compatible object storage - combination of these can ease the development process significantly. ON top of these, I like their dedicated and free firewall where you can define custom rules based on port ranges and also IP ranges.

Minpunten:

Previously, the dev-s server was very cheap. Now, due to increased R&D cost of Scaleway, this price became almost double which is understandable. But it would be nice if Scaleway provides a cheaper solution like it has before, maybe with a lower server configuration i.e. 1GB RAM or 512M RAM and 1 processor etc. I also want to see live server load for the latest 7-10 days minimum without installing any third-party software.

Reliable and inexpensive server farm, with excellent service

Opmerkingen: Overall, today I set up servers only on Scaleway.
The service and prices are excellent. And the operation. Highly recommend :)

Pluspunten:

My favorite thing is that there is excellent deployment ease, including in the API, and that the prices are excellent + per hour If you did not use, you did not pay. That it's really comfortable for software developers who want to test and try all sorts of options without committing too much. In addition, they have a variety of complementary services, like their S3 service, physical servers, and more I must also mention their built-in firewall. The attacks are stopped even before reaching the server (of course the server has extra protection, but it helps that it is stopped before) and it is really comfortable and excellent.

Minpunten:

Unfortunately, there is no option to build a server from ISO. And also lacks the option of installing a Windows server, which is really important sometimes. Plus, it would have been very nice if it was possible to increase the main HD instead of connecting an external HD

Reliable Hosting for Cheap

Opmerkingen: Scaleway is a brilliant hosting platform for small hobbyist developers such as myself. It's super cheap and reliable.

Pluspunten:

Insanely cheap, it's much cheaper than competitors' hosting. Very reliable, have never had it go down on me except for one bug due to me mis-understanding an option. SSH key synchronisation between all instances is very useful.

Minpunten:

I would prefer if the console was automatically setup, without needing to set a root password. This is not much of an issue though.

Great cloud solutions for small and larger business projects

Pluspunten:

Working with Scaleway has been a great experience for the last 4 years. Flexible deployments, fast provisioning of all services and great customer service are really making a difference for my business. Scaleway has recently accelerated its growth and you can see a lot of great innovations and new services being launched which are really exciting.

Minpunten:

Some features were launched then suspended due to difficulties scaling the infrastructure. A good example of this is Object storage that was taken away for a long time before recently coming back.

Keep going

Pluspunten:

Please keep making the product catalog increase

Minpunten:

Changes in pricing with short notice only

Sans contest, le meilleur cloud européen

Pluspunten:

Simplicité et clarté dans l'utilisation de la console. Mises à jour et ajout de fonctionnalités régulières

Minpunten:

La changement de l'offre baremetal est décevante en terme de prix, il est maintenant nécessaire de débourser (à mon sens) une somme importante pour disposer d'un serveur physique?

Un très bon hébergeur et Français

Pluspunten:

Ce qui est le plus plaisant, c'est la rapidité de déploiement. En quelques clics, il est possible de déployer des applicatifs automatiquement. De plus, l'écosystème Scaleway est très complet : quasi toutes les distributions sont disponibles et beaucoup d'applications pré-installées sont mises à disposition.

Minpunten:

Un effort est à prévoir sur la durée de vie d'un produit. Certains produits sont supprimés de l'offre et deviennent obsolète sans possibilité de faire de migration. Les tarifs ont tendance à augmenter légèrement, même si ils restent inférieurs à certains concurrents.

Object Storage de qualité

Opmerkingen: L’interface est très intuitive et il est facile de s’y retrouver. Les fonctionnalités sont en constante évolution et les tarifs sont très corrects pour la qualité fournie.

Pluspunten:

La facilité d’utilisation de leur solution d’object storage m’a permis de rapidement l’intégrer dans l’ensemble de mes projets. Rapide et peu coûteux c’est un vrai plus pour stocker tous ses assets.

Minpunten:

Il me manque la possibilité d’ajouter un nom de domaine ou un sous domaine avec un certificat TLS pour pouvoir servir directement mes assets sous un nom customisé.

TB

Pluspunten:

La console qui est propre, les fonctionnalités nombreuses et qui fonctionnent bien.

Minpunten:

J'aimerais plus de régions, Amérique et Asie.

Wide range of reliable and performant cloud services

Pluspunten:

Scaleway offers great cloud services at a fantastic price. I have used their cloud servers and object storage, their services are reliable, performant and easy to use. I also like that they have a wide variety of services that integrate very well for a 100% cloud infrastructure. Their support team is also fast to respond and was always able to solve my issues.

Minpunten:

The only con I can think about is their payment methods, which are a bit restrictive. Some prepaid cards do not work and they do not offer other payment gateways, such as PayPal.

Guaranteed safety and performance

Pluspunten:

A customer recommended that we deploy and store the project data in a Scaleway object storage space. We have already used other solutions from other providers. However, we really liked the speed at which the data is transferred. Sharing information with our client's work team has become very efficient. Someone uploads a file and in less than 2 seconds another is already downloading it. It's amazing how fast the storage is processed and published. We deployed a Stardust VPS to install the project manager. We were a bit concerned about latency and database throughput. But we were not disappointed, the instance has done a good job so far.

Minpunten:

Does not accept prepaid credit cards. Some services are not contracted definitively, without first testing them. We are concerned about exposing the data of our clients and ours. So we resort to testing the services by paying with prepaid credit cards from our technical team, and if everything has worked well, we contract the service. We only contracted with Scaleway because a client recommended this service to us. But normally we wouldn't have bought it without trying it.

Excellent services

Pluspunten:

How easy and fast can a new server can be deployed. Useful for scalability.

Minpunten:

Nothing yet that would slow the process.

Efficace au bon prix

Opmerkingen: Je gagne en simplicité d'administration par rapport aux produits concurrents.

Pluspunten:

Facilité de configuration et évolution, un rapport performance/prix sans égal avec la concurrence.

Minpunten:

La jeunesse fait qu'il manque des fonctionnalités mais elles arrivent petit a petit.

Tres bonne alternative à AWS

Opmerkingen: Migration dans le cloud

Pluspunten:

Le prix, et la localtion des serveurs en france.

Minpunten:

Support inexistant avec le premier niveau

Fiable et robuste

Pluspunten:

Simplificité d'utilisation, une interface intuitive et une vision globale pratique.

Minpunten:

Les prix ont augmentés récemment et les projets scolaires et les petits projets sont impactés. Pas de vision de la consommation ram/cpu/disque. Pas de vision sur le réseau non plus.

Good value for money

Pluspunten:

ARM instances were the reason I wanted to go with Scaleway. With more and more ARM-based devices rolling out, having service instances running on ARM architecture is a big plus for any company.

Minpunten:

The interface has gone through a few iterations but they never seem to quite hit the right one. I find it pretty difficult to navigate at this time.

de nombreux produits en développement

Pluspunten:

Les nouveautés qui arrivent régulièrement.

Minpunten:

Les augmentations de tarifs et l'arrêt de certaine gamme

Très belle découverte

Opmerkingen: Excellente

Pluspunten:

Un support très réactif et compétent Des instances public cloud d'un très bon rapport qualité / prix Des tutos bien expliqué

Minpunten:

Manque quelques fonctionnalités par rapport à la solution public cloud d'OVH

Avis Scaleway

Pluspunten:

Le coût, l'hébergement français, la rapidité de déploiement

Minpunten:

Le manque de fonctions avancées réseau : annonces d'IP par exemple
