In VpsBenchmark's opinion

Feature	Value	Comment
UI Friendliness		Very detailed admin UI, borderline complex but presented in a friendly way. Customizable dashboard.
Quality of Service		During the free trial period, the firewall settings are tight and block outbound ssh. Keep that in mind if you can't connect your UpCloud VM to external servers. Those restrictions are lifted after the first payment.
