Scaleway Virtual Instances Reviews

I like above all the responsiveness of the support, which is essential when offering this kind of service. In addition, the management console is straightforward to use and all tools are easy to deploy.

There's nothing I honestly don't like. Everything is explained clearly and there is no low blow in billing.

Being French, I like it when my data is hosted in my country. The different datacenters that Scaleway offers were able to satisfy my request. In addition, the prices are reasonable, which is a plus.

It's all European.

You get what you need in a simple but efficient manner. You don't need to go through weird setups with all kinds of options you don't need, but the options you need are there.

There are a few more exotic features that I have missed, but they are being implemented piece by piece.

Hosting our server infrastructure.

I needed a macOS desktop system. Scaleways provided it perfectly smooth, with extremely user/customer friendly conditions despite Apple's complex constraints on its products.

A minor part, with no effect on the overall top experience, is the somehow complex user interface of the web page/dashboard of Scaleways. The user interface could be improved to give a better service overview.

For me, it was the need for timely short access to a macOS desktop system. The quick service shouldn't be expensive, and Scaleways provides an immensely customer-friendly condition where only the real usage time is charged.

The interface is more straightforward than AWS, OVH and others, yet it has all the basic things I needed. Running a Docker container is also very cheap.

Many features still under development, same for the documentation

I use a S3 instance for my media, and also deploy many Docker containers for smaller tasks

- Simple and crystal clear web console (and Magic Link !)

- Free control plane on Kubernetes product (Kapsule)

- Terraform support

- Helpful support, availability of staff and community via Slack

- Regular new products (and betas)

- Sustainable data centers

- Some low-cost options for developers

- Managed database and Redis

- s3 (Object storage) and Docker Image management are sometimes under heavy load

- serverless services are not always working properly

- missing private subnets for Kubernetes nodes

An excellent European provider with corrects prices and an incredible community on slack.

Managed services are enough to 90% of my needs and Kapsule (Kubernetes) is a terrific product.

They also open the track to multi-cloud with an multi-cloud offer on their managed Load Balancer

Extremely cheap and fast way to deploy servers.

User interface is slow and clumsy. There is definitely some space for improvement.

There is no reason not to try. Scaleway is not going to charge you for not using it.

From time to time we need to test a new script for which we deploy a new server. Scaleway is very easy-to-use and allows us to specify region, size and speed of the server. It takes less than 3 minutes to start working on a newly-deployed server.

We manage several cloud architectures via several providers. Scaleway is our preferred provider, the rates are correct, the availability is exemplary and the management back-office is very easy to use. We recommend Scaleway for the implementation of Cloud architectures.

We observed some bugs when using the back office, but nothing significant. Another disadvantage is that upgrading a Compute Instance machine is not very easy compared to other cloud providers.

To have a reliable Cloud provider based in France to meet the data storage requirements of our customers, all at an affordable price. The availability of tools meets our customers' needs.

The interface that control scaleway and the unmetered bandwidth.

Cannot search on their control panel. Nothing else

Scaleway solved our high bandwidth price issue with other ISP and gave us great value to run our business.
