Great option if quick deployment & high availability

Frontline Hardened VMs are an easy way to have an always on server that can be easily hardened to meet our security compliance requirements. Being able to quickly deploy and harden in minutes. There isn't much to dislike. I love that I can have dedicated support, and the knowledge of their staff is incredible. They help get you setup quickly and ensure you are taken good care of. It's been a great experience and I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for a reliable, dedicated always on server…

Pros
  • Easy deployment
  • Easily configurable through simple wizard interface.
  • Secure by design (ie built in OS protection)
  • Good customer service/support options available if issues pop out during configuration process / usage period etc
Cons
  • Lackluster GUI somewhat unintuitive UI,
  • Less customization capabilities possible compared other products such Nginx & Apache , No redundancy option offered within front line hardware appliances

Solid provider backed by great support

I like that they have the ability to spin up VMs in under an hour - not many companies have that! Also, the customer service is quick to respond and very knowledgeable when needed. I think their price point could be better as well. I have been working with them for a couple years now, but they've recently started offering more services outside of just VMs. We use their VMs heavily for development purposes and are able to spin them up within minutes. This allows us to test changes without having

Pros
  • The speed at which we can create virtual machines from our cloud provider (Azure) through FHVM's platform makes it easy/fast enough so no one has issues using this product regularly during work hours..it works best while people aren't around :)
Cons
  • In my opinion pricing should go down by $5 10 per month given there isn't much customization available

Tackle high-end virtualization tasks with ease

I like that its easy enought o create them from scratch if needed (or required). Also they are pretty robust in terms or hardware/os requirements as well so not too much hassle there either! They do cost more than just using some generic image but thats because their setup takes longer & requires proper testing before release which makes sense considering how important these VMs end up being - trust me when i say this has saved us countless hours by allowing rapid deployment without worrying…

Pros
  • The ability to run several versions simultaneously
  • Ability top easily build new ones formscratch with minimal effort.
  • Very low maintenance costs for VM instances(free)
  • Great support team
  • Extensive documentation available
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...
