"The product is a great solution for my needs. The Technical Support Team is 2nd to none."
I can create and delete instances and test as much as needed within a safe environment. No question, TECH SUPPORT IS THE BEST AT ANTSLE.

"Nice little device to play with"
One of the best things about Antsle is being able to set up multiple machine images quickly. It's great for playing around with malware.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

The support at Antsle goes above and beyond to make sure that your machine is running correctly and that everything is working as it should. Support helped me figure out how to replace a critical drive and copy everything over from one drive to another. I don't know what I would do without them! They certainly came to the rescue as I rely on my antsle to run critical infrastructure in my business. A++++++ Service from Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

I am not a fan of the billing per CPU core. I believe that needs to be reevaluated as I don't feel you should be charging more to provide the same service just because a customer can afford a better server. Supporting each device to me should be the same across the board and you sign up for different levels of support that you want on your device like normal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:

I love it! It certainly beats managing most servers that I have managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am hosting several server applications on my cloud that are crucial to the operation of my business. It is nice having these services on the network, especially to monitor latency statistics etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

There is a bit of a limitation on the types of images that are available, but there is an option for creating your own. I think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a lack of drive space on my computer and having images on the Antsle is easier than trying to work with virtual machine images in a hypervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

Antsle makes it easy to spin up servers in a matter of seconds, when required, and dispose of them just as easily. It scales beautifully between trivial loads (web proxies handling a dozen requests a day) and heavyweight loads (Windows Server 2016 domain controllers), and integrates very well into my overall network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

My requirements are idiosyncratic enough that, while the documentation is clear, I would have appreciated more detail on how the bits and pieces of its architecture fit together. This is unlikely to be a problem for most users, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:

If you can, find a way to try one out in advance. You'll find that you can get a lot more out of it than a naive look at the specifications might suggest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I originally purchased Antsle to handle test scenarios during software development, which worked very well, and used remarkably little of its capacity. After an unrelated server failed, I found myself moving that production workload over onto Antsle, which it handled smoothly while also keeping up with testing. Currently, I have a dozen or so production antlets, the test systems, and part of a Docker swarm all running on the Antsle, which it continues to handle smoothly and without issues. In short, it's much more of a solution, with greater benefits, than I expected it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

We bought 2 and have been extremely impressed. They are valuable in teaching a multitude of CTE subjects including virtualization, coding, systems administration and OS troubleshooting. If I could afford to buy one for home use, I would!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

Backup and snapshotting are still a little troublesome, but these are features I know they are working on and have been testing with a group. Looking forward to being able to use these features in the near future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Get the support! It's worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a controlled IT teaching environment, which is what was originally set forth as a requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

The antsle is extremely powerful in a very small package. I've been able to use my antsle instead of my ESXi environment for development and production. This has saved me on power, heat and rack space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

The only thing that I don't like about the antsle is that I won't be able to expand it in the future, like I could with ESXi, but I could also buy a second antsle and use that to expand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:

This is a very good product, that is only going to get better and better. If you are on the fence about buying one, go for it. I have really simplified my entire environment and it is just a breeze to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to virtualize the bulk of my primary servers and all of my backups servers. It has given me a quick and easy way to deploy a VM for testing and then when I'm done I can either keep that VM for the next one or start fresh with a new template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With my antsle I am able to do multiple things at once. Run my web server with over 10 active websites, while running Windows 2019 and windows 10 remotely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since having my antsle I have managed to increase my work load and have more time with family. All the data is mine as I hold everything on my antsle I used to run 3 mini servers but now am running one antsle and manage it all from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

I can very quickly and easily spin up new testing instances using VM templates I created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

Updates are not as regular as one would hope. It would be nice if there were more disconnect between the proprietary software (antman et al) and the underlying Gentoo, so I could update Gentoo separately more easily.

There were some growing pains in learning the nuances of supporting ZFS and some of the other underlying technology. Better documentation on how to resolve problems from the command line would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We migrated customer testing VMs from AWS to our Antsle and easily saved a thousand a month or so. The value of the Antsle we purchased has long since outweighed its cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?

I regularly advert potential production disasters with help from my Antsle. When there are no available servers in our datacenter to test on. I can install our special CentOS image on my Antsle in minutes, and clone it or create new Linux instances in seconds. I regularly make OS changes, test new software, and have fun trying new things that could and do sometimes corrupt the OS. The best part, there is 100% no risk to my production environment. I am able to perform all the necessary changes and test scenarios on my Antsle before applying them across my entire environment with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?

The occasional update to Antman doesn't tell you to reboot or restart a services making you wonder why something isn't working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:

Every SysAdmin should have an Antsle at home! You can build your own clusters, test most anything, learn most anything, and just spin up servers break them, spin up more servers, all in a matter of seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Developing and testing in my Production environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
