Antsle Support is GREATTTTT!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Landon S. | Owner Cloud 9 Wireless LLC, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2022 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** The support at Antsle goes above and beyond to make sure that your machine is running correctly and that everything is working as it should. Support helped me figure out how to replace a critical drive and copy everything over from one drive to another. I don't know what I would do without them! They certainly came to the rescue as I rely on my antsle to run critical infrastructure in my business. A++++++ Service from **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** I am not a fan of the billing per CPU core. I believe that needs to be reevaluated as I don't feel you should be charging more to provide the same service just because a customer can afford a better server. Supporting each device to me should be the same across the board and you sign up for different levels of support that you want on your device like normal. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** I love it! It certainly beats managing most servers that I have managed. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am hosting several server applications on my cloud that are crucial to the operation of my business. It is nice having these services on the network, especially to monitor latency statistics etc. ### 2. The product is a great solution for my needs. The Technical Support Team is 2nd to none. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** G K. | Security Architect, Project Manager - Infrastructure & Information Security, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2022 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** I can create and delete instances and test as much as needed within a safe environment. No question, TECH SUPPORT IS THE BEST AT ANTSLE. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** You need to be technical to survive in this environment, it is not for the unskilled technical folks. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows me to test in a secure environment without compromising my production environment. ### 3. Nice little device to play with **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2022 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** One of the best things about Antsle is being able to set up multiple machine images quickly. It's great for playing around with malware. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** There is a bit of a limitation on the types of images that are available, but there is an option for creating your own. I think. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a lack of drive space on my computer and having images on the Antsle is easier than trying to work with virtual machine images in a hypervisor. ### 4. My Antsle **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason C. | Freelance Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2020 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** The ability to host web applications on my own server without having to pay hosting providers **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** I can't think of anything I don't like, I'm completely happy! **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** I love that it grows and scales to what you need it to be! **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been able to host my own GitLab for my code, host my own plex, install my own project management tool (ActiveCollab), document all my work with MKDocs, and last host Odoo for my inventory. ### 5. Much more solution that I expected **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alistair Y. | Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** Antsle makes it easy to spin up servers in a matter of seconds, when required, and dispose of them just as easily. It scales beautifully between trivial loads (web proxies handling a dozen requests a day) and heavyweight loads (Windows Server 2016 domain controllers), and integrates very well into my overall network. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** My requirements are idiosyncratic enough that, while the documentation is clear, I would have appreciated more detail on how the bits and pieces of its architecture fit together. This is unlikely to be a problem for most users, though. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** If you can, find a way to try one out in advance. You'll find that you can get a lot more out of it than a naive look at the specifications might suggest. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I originally purchased Antsle to handle test scenarios during software development, which worked very well, and used remarkably little of its capacity. After an unrelated server failed, I found myself moving that production workload over onto Antsle, which it handled smoothly while also keeping up with testing. Currently, I have a dozen or so production antlets, the test systems, and part of a Docker swarm all running on the Antsle, which it continues to handle smoothly and without issues. In short, it's much more of a solution, with greater benefits, than I expected it to be. ### 6. Antsle has been a valuable teaching resource **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** We bought 2 and have been extremely impressed. They are valuable in teaching a multitude of CTE subjects including virtualization, coding, systems administration and OS troubleshooting. If I could afford to buy one for home use, I would!!! **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** Backup and snapshotting are still a little troublesome, but these are features I know they are working on and have been testing with a group. Looking forward to being able to use these features in the near future! **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** Get the support! It's worth it! **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a controlled IT teaching environment, which is what was originally set forth as a requirement. ### 7. antsle is a great tool for the IT professional and developer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian M. | Senior Control Systems Programmer & Network Systems Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** The antsle is extremely powerful in a very small package. I've been able to use my antsle instead of my ESXi environment for development and production. This has saved me on power, heat and rack space. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** The only thing that I don't like about the antsle is that I won't be able to expand it in the future, like I could with ESXi, but I could also buy a second antsle and use that to expand. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** This is a very good product, that is only going to get better and better. If you are on the fence about buying one, go for it. I have really simplified my entire environment and it is just a breeze to use. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been able to virtualize the bulk of my primary servers and all of my backups servers. It has given me a quick and easy way to deploy a VM for testing and then when I'm done I can either keep that VM for the next one or start fresh with a new template. ### 8. Recommend to anyone **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicholas R. | Owner , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** With my antsle I am able to do multiple things at once. Run my web server with over 10 active websites, while running Windows 2019 and windows 10 remotely **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** Need to be able to perform more things from my mobile that can only be done though a desktop **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** Antsle is small, no sounds at all it’s in my bedroom and I never hear it. Easy to setup and manage **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since having my antsle I have managed to increase my work load and have more time with family. All the data is mine as I hold everything on my antsle I used to run 3 mini servers but now am running one antsle and manage it all from there. ### 9. Long time Antsle customer **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher W. | IT Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** I can very quickly and easily spin up new testing instances using VM templates I created. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** Updates are not as regular as one would hope. It would be nice if there were more disconnect between the proprietary software (antman et al) and the underlying Gentoo, so I could update Gentoo separately more easily. There were some growing pains in learning the nuances of supporting ZFS and some of the other underlying technology. Better documentation on how to resolve problems from the command line would be great. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We migrated customer testing VMs from AWS to our Antsle and easily saved a thousand a month or so. The value of the Antsle we purchased has long since outweighed its cost. ### 10. Saved from Production Disasters **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** I regularly advert potential production disasters with help from my Antsle. When there are no available servers in our datacenter to test on. I can install our special CentOS image on my Antsle in minutes, and clone it or create new Linux instances in seconds. I regularly make OS changes, test new software, and have fun trying new things that could and do sometimes corrupt the OS. The best part, there is 100% no risk to my production environment. I am able to perform all the necessary changes and test scenarios on my Antsle before applying them across my entire environment with no issues. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** The occasional update to Antman doesn't tell you to reboot or restart a services making you wonder why something isn't working. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** Every SysAdmin should have an Antsle at home! You can build your own clusters, test most anything, learn most anything, and just spin up servers break them, spin up more servers, all in a matter of seconds. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Developing and testing in my Production environment. ### 11. Great New Product - Antsle Private Cloud **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Douglas K. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** Works out of the box. up to 100+ Virtual Servers. Just about any platform. Supports existing virtual host images from many popular platforms. Versatile network configuration and built-in nginx proxy server. Built-in Docker Support. local and remote backup options built-in. clone or create virtual servers from existing servers, backups local or remote. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** The learning curve for me was a little more than I anticipated. My experience was limited to individual Linux servers, managed and unmanaged Virtual Private Servers from an ISP hosting company. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed, security and control over my cloud services as they are private. Saving big bucks compared to current cloud service hosts ### 12. Great Server! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher C. | Server Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** The security and control of having a private server is really nice. I like how small and quiet the physical server is. Also very easy to set up and everything is documented really good. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** There is a CPU bar graph in the dashboard and I just wish there were more details of the running processes. It's not obvious what antlet is taking up the most resources. More analytics on the dashboard would be nice. However, I can still SSH into the server itself and get this information from a couple of simple commands. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** This makes a great affordable solution for any type of software development. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm using this server for web development. Hosting company data that only needs to be accessed on the local network. Also hosting two windows server 2016 for small business applications. ### 13. Fast, convenient, contained testing environment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** I love that with the antsle i can offload my VMs to another host, and access them directly via a web interface, and not just for configuration. I can interact with the GUI in the VMs via this interface also that requires no addition plugins to be installed. The management GUI is easy and intuitive. It just works. I cant comment on post-sales support as I have not had any issue but pre-sales support was great, very responsive. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** Only downsides I can think of is that compared to running a type 2 hypervisor on my laptop, I cannot drag and drop files into the VMs. Also its more weight to carry with me if I am going somewhere without internet connectivity, otherwise I can leave it in the office and connect back to it. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am using the Antsle for malware analysis and security testing. Keeping malware samples isolated in VMs and off my primary laptop means I can travel, shutdown, etc and keep the analysis running in a host which out powers my laptop anyway. Having a single small fan-less device in my office at home rather than a noisy server makes for a much nicer working environment, and it looks good too. ### 14. Developer dream **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** The anstle product allows for multiple sandbox and training environments. The biggest advantage is not having to save and power off your VM from your laptop. Its now available on your server. Continue training at your leisure right where you left off. If you need to roll back to last know good you have the snap shot and cloud back up. I have been very successful with the product. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** You really need to know Linux. Its not a down side but a real learning curve. **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** Its a steep price for a device that you could build. Although it was worth not having to build a noise server and have a nice interface to manage my VM's **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** My ability to learn a product or platform isn't limited to a company providing a server or access. I can run multiple servers and test out scenarios as root in my own environment. ### 15.

Great product so far. Have not reached the point to backup yet. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert B. | IT Helpdesk Coordiantor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** Ease of use. I love the fact that I can have and run multiple platforms. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** The lack of precise and more descriptive documentation. This would be so much easier for beginner users who are try to learn a new skillset. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** This helped to reassure my data is backed up. ### 17. Indispensable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Giovani Del Nero D. | Founder and Mango g Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** From a business perspective it's super important to know that one of your most important assets, your data, is private and wholly owned. The antsle allows that. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** The transition to self-hosting took me a bit of work but mostly because I had never dealt with any of the platforms that are used in web service. In a more established business, any half-decent IT engineer can blast through the setup in antMan **Recommendations to others considering antsle Private Cloud:** Do your research and **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data privacy is a first. Using and supporting use of open-source software initiatives is a second. ### 18. Easy, simple, small scope **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2019 **What do you like best about antsle Private Cloud?** Every thing you can do in antsle cloud is incredibly simple and right up in front – check heartbeat uptime, reset root password, configure backups, and restore are incredibly simple. **What do you dislike about antsle Private Cloud?** While all features are incredibly simple to use, the above listed are pretty much all of them. It would be nice to be able to reach your antsle's webui from the private cloud, or to do further administration. **What problems is antsle Private Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Taking systems off of AWS, rapidly spinning up new systems, prototyping, testing various security products. - [View antsle Private Cloud pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/antsle-private-cloud/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+23%3A38%3A40+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=81c97a7a-5f95-4d7d-9209-f269806260d0&secure%5Btoken%5D=1610ae8adf4d451e5110bcfe3367702f67d03e83a9b1d7702fb22e1cd0a3de8e&format=llm_user) ## antsle Private Cloud Features **Performance** - Scalability - Portability - Data Recovery **Functionality** - OS Integration - Resource Saving - Performance Management - Security **Agentic AI - Server Virtualization** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top antsle Private Cloud Alternatives - [Proxmox VE](https://www.g2.com/products/proxmox-ve/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (35 reviews) - [VMware vSphere](https://www.g2.com/products/vmware-vsphere/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (745 reviews) - [Azure Virtual Machines](https://www.g2.com/products/azure-virtual-machines/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (375 reviews)
