IdeaStack Review




Posted by BigWillyStyle42, 02-22-2016, 08:42 AM
We haven't been using IdeaStack for long, but we've hit a roadblock so I want to make sure others don't hit it as well. They block non-standard UDP ports (everything but 21 and 53) and are unwilling to change their firewall for you, despite claiming to provide fully managed service. I know their plans are cheap, I'm not really looking for management. A long time ago we moved our SNMP monitoring to a non-standard UDP port due to another host blocking the standard port and refusing to change. Even if we had left the service on the default port (161) it sounds like we still would've had an issue. Support has been okay, not the most prompt, but definitely not the worst. The server seems decent enough, but I wasn't able to complete our full set of tests as our monitoring software could not connect. So if you're using any non-standard ports, stay away. Otherwise, they may be okay.
