OVH CEO: Unlike Amazon, Google, “we will never be in competition with you”
Important notes about OVH:<p>-I'm a customer for about ~2 years.<p>-I was "just" using OVH object storage, and was considering other OVH services.<p>-I'm all about "cheap,cheap,cheap"<p>-OVH is super-cheap, which is good.<p>-I want OVH to "win". OVH doesn't want to "win". Because..<p>-OVH is super-confusing. Interface, website, billing, everything.<p>-website uses esoteric design conventions. A European thing? I don't know.<p>-feels as if they went the extra mile <i>to</i> make it confusing. Defies belief!<p>-they have separate websites for different countries, which use different login credentials.<p>-they have "OVH credits". Why???<p>-they use OpenStack (Yay!). Unforuntely, they have a confusing implementation of OpenStack dashboard, AND on a separate site, with separate credentials.<p>Bottom line: I'm a tech-savvy guy who can absorb some pretty bad UX, but OVH made me cringe. Seriously, I do not exaggerate. Anytime I need to log on to OVH, I get an uneasy feeling. So, I <i>gladly</i> paid extra and switched. I use DigitalOcean now. It's not as cheap. Digital Oceans's UX is good, but not <i>amazing</i>. But believe you me, it is BREATHE OF FRESH AIR compared to OVH. Update: may post a video if you guys want me to. Let me know!
