Having Support team engaged provide a solution within few hours. > > Scaleway offers high performance with affordable pricing ,which clearly makes the difference over all cloud services available. ----- ### "Guaranteed safety and performance" — 5.0/5 > **Angelo** | *23 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. ----- ### "Scaleway is a good backup product for a good price" — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *10 May 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud backup storage is cheap and has most of the functionality of Amazon. > > **Cons**: Getting data into glacier was a pain. They only have two sites both in Europe. ----- ### "Reliable Hosting for Cheap" — 5.0/5 > **Murray** | *22 September 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: I would prefer if the console was automatically setup, without needing to set a root password. This is not much of an issue though. > > Scaleway is a brilliant hosting platform for small hobbyist developers such as myself. It's super cheap and reliable. ----- ### "Great cloud solutions for small and larger business projects" — 5.0/5 > **Cyril** | *22 September 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/185326/scaleway?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/185326/scaleway) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
