|---|---|---|
| IC Director at a printing company with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | We have found Virtuozzo Application Platform promising due to its scalability and ease of use, as there is no learning curve. However, we see room for improvement in the backup features, which we couldn't find or use effectively. |
| Information Technology Consultant @ CIM at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I find this public cloud solution stable, scalable, and easy to control, making it great for government projects. While setup was straightforward, I believe it needs better integration for backup and improved, clearer security layers. |
| Directeur Technique at Hosteur, SA | 4.5 | I find Jelastic to be a very good product, stable and scalable, with excellent support. While initial setup is straightforward, I recommend improving backup functionality and expanding multi-cloud distributions. I rate it nine out of ten. |
| Business Development Executive at Data Sciences Corporation | 4.5 | As an MSP, I find Jelastic stable and scalable, appreciating its unique dynamic vertical scaling. Setup was complex, but it's great for developers and DevOps. I wish it had better enterprise storage integration. |
| CTO at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I find Jelastic an intuitive, stable PaaS with excellent auto-scaling and flexible pay-per-use pricing, differentiating my offering. While customers desire Windows Docker support, its easy use and robust features are highly valued, making it an ideal solution. |
| Founder & Cloud Architect at innofield AG | 4.0 | I find Jelastic an excellent PaaS with 10/10 support, offering easy management, usage-based billing, and no vendor lock-in. It's container-based and scales well, providing exactly what I expect from a PaaS. |
| Co-founder at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I found Jelastic easy to set up and deploy, with automatic scaling saving me time and money. It's more flexible and cost-effective than AWS, though I'd appreciate S3-compatible storage. |
We have a static environment where we created a server and workforce, and that was basically it. And it's promising.
The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research. We're just playing with what we're given by the hosted components and it is straightforward. We like that about the solution.
The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it.
We have had the solution for a few months but have been using it for two weeks.
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do.
I rate it eight out of ten.
The initial setup was pretty straightforward. We created a server, and we installed WordPress on our website. We did not spend much time, but I think with more documentation and experience, I would do it better.
The solution is very uninformed, but then again, that's relative to the ones that experience. It was pretty straightforward without even spending much time on documentation. We were able to create a server and set up our website in a few minutes.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
We're using it for a lot of government projects. We have a lot of solutions, like fault tolerance and high availability for the solution.
There are about 75 people using this solution, from management, system engineering, database administrators, developers, and engineers for security.
We have a lot of customers. We have plans to increase the team.
The solution is deployed on a public cloud.
The security and availability are really good. It's clearly organized.
The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control on your solutions.
It's important to have integration with other solutions or other cloud services for the backup and redundancy. It really needs some improvement.
The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution.
I've been using this solution for five years.
It's really stable.
The scalability is good.
Technical support is okay. I would rate technical support 4 out of 5.
We used AWS. We also used Agile, but for the cost, for the availability of technical support, and for the user interface, we prefer to use Jelastic.
It's straightforward. I would rate it 5 out of 5.
Implementation takes about three or four days. Building a strategy takes time.
We have a dedicated team for implementation. It's a team of about two to five people.
We used a reseller.
We are not using it for revenue. As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch. It's really good investment.
I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees.
I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.
It's really easy to implement. It has really good control and user interface. It's user-friendly. There is the ability to use a free subscription and to use it for free for testing.
We are a solution provider and Jelastic is one of the products that we resell to our clients. We implement all kinds of solutions on this platform and we manage it.
The backup functionality needs to be improved.
In the future, I would like to see distributions for multiple cloud platforms with multiple data centers. They have started to build some products along this line of thinking but they should be more fully developed. More products should follow a multi-cloud strategy.
We have been using Jelastic over the past year.
The stability is very good.
In terms of scalability, Jelastic is very good.
Technical support from Jelastic is very good. We use them often; they are precise and quick to respond.
The initial setup is quite straightforward.
The installation is actually a bit complex, but it's well explained and the support is good. Installation on a client machine is not easy to do, but that was not the focus. Instead, we installed it inside the Jelastic cloud, which is very easy to do.
This is a good product and I recommend it. My advice for anybody who is implementing Jelastic is to follow the recommendations of the vendor. We had asked for help when implementing the product and found they are very technical and well informed.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
We are an MSP and host this solution for our customers' environments. We are customers of Jelastic, resellers of this solution and I'm a business development executive.
I think the cloudlet granular resource assignment with the dynamic vertical scaling is probably the biggest unique feature that differentiates Jelastic from other similar products.
I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products.
We've been using this solution for about 18 months.
The platform is very robust and stable.
The solution is scalable, we currently have a small deployment with over 100 users.
The technical support is extremely helpful. They have a very good support team.
The initial setup wasn't overly complex, but it wasn't easy. It took about three months and there was definitely some professional work involved from the vendor. It's not a solution you can implement on your own.
We have some positive results, but no ROI yet. That's partly due to our deployment plan, which is a very cautious expansion plan. We have a much longer ROI timeframe for this platform which we know we'll see eventually.
We looked at several solutions that were typically OpenStack-based and we checked several organizations that built their own solution over underlying OpenStack projects. Based on our prior experience, we decided not to go with that kind of platform. We went with Jelastic because it's a native container-based platform built on Virtuozzo containers.
Jelastic is definitely designed for developers, and it definitely allows for fast integration into your DevOps lifecycle, CI/CD pipeline and that kind of use. It's primarily focused on enabling developer work environments, building them up and completely integrating into a DevOps CI/CD pipeline setup.
I rate this solution nine out of 10.
Offering a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution, very easy to use thanks to an intuitive dashboard and with a real pay per use model.
Jelastic has helped Infortelecom to attract and gain more developers as customers, which differentiates our offer from other cloud hosts in our country. Infortelecom is the only official Jelastic partner in Spain.
The horizontal and vertical auto-scaling feature, which does not involve changing anything in the code of the projects, is the most valuable feature. This helps developers to focus on improving their projects at the code level, without worrying about system administration. Several of our important customers who use Jelastic have highlighted this feature.
Other valuable features include the advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing.
Jelastic is always listening to its partners and customers, so any feedback we get we send to Jelastic staff and they consider implementing it in future versions. For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows. I know that this was already added to the backlog.
Jelastic is extremely stable. We never had any issues. We never received any complaints from our customers about stability.
We had never had any scalability issues with Jelastic. We have monitoring systems for Jelastic and if the Jelastic cluster resources are near to capacity, we get a warning. We just need to add more servers/resources to it.
Jelastic technical support is great. Keep in mind that our staff has years of expertise in system administration and they have also been trained by Jelastic professional teams to support the product. Any user of Jelastic at Infortelecom has double technical support. In fact, Infortelecom has the highest score that Jelastic gives in quality of support and performance.
We did not have a previous solution.
Jelastic professional services helped us a lot with the initial setup and the future needs we had. There was no complexity at all. The way to manage the platform, from the provider and customer's point of view, is web-based. There is a nice and flexible dashboard. It is very easy to run applications using Jelastic. Power users can modify configuration files from the UI or by SSH access.
Pricing for the customers is really easy, as it is pay per use. If any server is switched off, you don't have to pay for anything. Customers can control the minimum and maximum price for their environments very easily from the control panel. There are no surprises at all!
Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster.
No others solutions were evaluated. We just fell in love when we met Jelastic in a World Hosting Day meeting. :-)

Based on our experience, the technical support from Jelastic is 10 of 10!
Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in.
We almost don't have to maintain our servers. We don't have to worry about scaling as our user-base grows. Saves time and money.
An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS.
2 years
I am satisfied with technical support but Jelastic is a platform there are several service providers, so I can not comment on all of them.
I used AWS. The problem with AWS was, I need to make a commitment for 3 years in order to reduce the price of a ec2 instance. But a lot changes in 3 years, at the end of the second year you may want to change your instance type, like I did want to move from medium utilized server to a high utilized one but I already had contract on medium. With Jelastic I did not make any commitments and it's still costs less.
It took almost 5 minutes. A few clicks from the Jelastic control panel and you are ready to go.
