Overall it has 100% met the needs for my client in a scenario where all they really need is a VM server in the cloud to connect to and run some applications. Support is good, price is good, so it's been a positive experience.

Pros

It's easy and quick to stand up infrastructure at a very reasonable cost. The interface for the admini portal is intuitive and support is very quick to respond to inquiries.

Cons

It is somewhat limited in services offered if you compare with the bigger cloud providers such as MS or AWS. It's more geared toward standing up VMs, cloud servers, vs. cloud elasticity and cloud application architecture.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Azure and AWS Management Console

Reasons for Switching to Vultr

Price, ease of implementation, right-sized solution for the business being supported.

Hardware failure and support

Ok. Better support would make it good or excellent.

Pros

Very easy to create instances. Very good pricing.

Cons

Hardware issues seem to occur often. Twice within two months. One hardware issue caused block storage to corrupt and a site to go down. When asking help from support they said it was up to me to fix the problem. They pointed to resources which was helpful but only after I spent hours isolating the problem, trying to fix it unsuccessfully and reaching out to support again did they do something which fixed it within 5-10 minutes. When there are issues not caused by any fault on the customers end, Vultr needs to do more to help the customer. Support staff should take more initiative to help resolve the problem.

Overall, a good experience. It would be nice to receive some credits from your side; after all, we've been using Vultr for several years but have never received any credits.

Pros

There are many server locations available, but I really miss having an option like Switzerland—it would be fantastic. For this reason, we're forced to use other service providers.

Cons

Maintenance on the servers causes issues for me because my services go down. I would consider dedicated servers, but the costs are too high.

Its a good company and they have really good prices and i insist, i really like that they are really comprehensive with little business that need some more time to pay and i think that not a lot of companies have this facility

Pros

They are very understanding with little business and give them good additional time ranges to pay, also the infraestructure the 90% of times its pretty much reliable.

Cons

Their object storage its really bad in my opinion, one time i had a downtime of it for about a month and they even lost some data of their servers. Further than that, no other problem has arrived.

Pros

You can create any server of your choice at any moment quickly for your customers or just to test and destroy. It is also cheaper than any other platform - Before knowing vultr, I would purchase a shared server and today I just create a server for my customers and the price and the performance are way better than a shared. It is also super easy to manage.

Cons

I haven’t had any issues yet to give cons.

Overall vultr have a great product range and the pricing is very good!
The biggest issue is their support, it's pretty average.
Ther was a pretty big outage with a product which led to me needing to move one of my resources to another provider but all vultr would do is offer a credit in my account. I really think a refund would have been the right thing to do here

Pros

The product range and price of the products is quite good.

Cons

The support is pretty poor, luckily the product is pretty solid

Pros

Vultr is an extremely simple service to use. I have used it multiple times for both high-intensity and low-intensity applications, and it has always done the job well. The pricing plans and scalability of the platform are amazing, and the easy configuration of your server simplifies the entire process. I will continue to use Vultr whenever I have any hosting needs.

Cons

Honestly, I do not have any complaints about Vultr or its services. I have been using its services for years and have yet to encounter any issues that weren't user-error.

The performance of Vultr’s virtual cloud server is acceptable, though deployment times, especially for Windows servers, are noticeably longer than ideal. When compared to AWS, Vultr lags behind in terms of speed and efficiency. However, considering the price point, this is somewhat justifiable. The primary concern, however, lies with the support services. Based on my experience, you might find it more effective to troubleshoot issues independently.

My primary reason for choosing Vultr was the generous internet bandwidth allocation with their instances, especially since even the most affordable option includes 3TB per month. However, I’ve found that their internet connectivity doesn’t quite match the reliability of AWS EC2. This isn’t about speed, but rather consistency and dependability. It appears that the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ holds true in this case.

Pros

The pricing is competitive, offering a reasonable range of options for Virtual Cloud Services. Additionally, the internet bandwidth provided per instance is notably cheap.

Cons

I recently encountered significant issues with Vultr's support team. After submitting a detailed ticket outlining the problem and its context, the response was less than satisfactory. The team requested specific actions, which I completed to the best of my ability. However, my efforts did not meet their expectations. I explained that the limitations of the services I host on their server prevent me from fulfilling their exact requirements. Disappointingly, it seemed they made no genuine effort to understand or address the issue.
