In VPSBenchmark's opinion

Feature Value Comment
UI Friendliness 

Clean and modern.
Quality of Service 
  • Excellent transparent FAQ at https://www.scaleway.com/faq/.
  • Authentication process is unclear: uploading an ssh key appears mandatory but is not mentioned during server creation. After creation, it's too late.
  • UI Console shell requires machine login and password making it useless since machines don't have passwords when they are created.
