OVH CEO: Unlike Amazon, Google, “we will never be in competition with you”
Important notes about OVH:-I'm a customer for about ~2 years.-I was "just" using OVH object storage, and was considering other OVH services.-I'm all about "cheap,cheap,cheap"-OVH is super-cheap, which is good.-I want OVH to "win". OVH doesn't want to "win". Because..-OVH is super-confusing. Interface, website, billing, everything.-website uses esoteric design conventions. A European thing? I don't know.-feels as if they went the extra mile to make it confusing. Defies belief!-they have separate websites for different countries, which use different login credentials.-they have "OVH credits". Why???-they use OpenStack (Yay!). Unforuntely, they have a confusing implementation of OpenStack dashboard, AND on a separate site, with separate credentials.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 gladly paid extra and switched. I use DigitalOcean now. It's not as cheap. Digital Oceans's UX is good, but not amazing. 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!
