Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) is acclaimed for robust support and fast performance, surpassing Azure and AWS. It offers scalable pricing and cost-effective deployment across global data centers, powered by features like the Linode Kubernetes Engine. However, enhancements in data center presence, especially in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, and managed Linux security services are needed. Improving customer support and achieving more competitive pricing would broaden its appeal to tech buyers. Improvements in Latin America availability are also advantageous.
