"The worst customer support ever"
What do you like best about Scaleway?

Their dashboard is quite nice and clean; the servers work (most of the time), and the price-to-computation-power ratio is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scaleway?

I have never experienced worse customer support in my life. The server went off, I contacted support, and even paid for the extra support plan. They didn't respond within the guaranteed response time because the ticket was created before the payment. But they didn't respond within the guaranteed time, even for tickets created after I purchased the plan.

They were not listening to me, still asking if I wanted to replace the server (I needed to tell them NO five times), and they refused to acknowledge their mistake.

In the end, the support didn't help me with anything; they did basically nothing to fix the situation, they just took my money and happily breached their SLA.

I'm really considering whether we should stay with Scaleway or migrate away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scaleway Scam and Predatory Pricing"
What do you like best about Scaleway?

It's a scam, and they have a predatory pricing model, they won't let you shutdown or remove any of your existing services and will keep billing you, even at the account owner's request, scaleway doesn't stop services and will keep billing you, even if you don't want any of their services, and then threaten you with legal notices of unpaid bills for services that they won't let you shutdown Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scaleway?

Predatory billing practices and false billing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The services offered are very interesting. The support is always responsive and helpful."
What do you like best about Scaleway?

I like above all the responsiveness of the support, which is essential when offering this kind of service. In addition, the management console is straightforward to use and all tools are easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scaleway?

There's nothing I honestly don't like. Everything is explained clearly and there is no low blow in billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scaleway, the simplest and most stable cloud solution"
What do you like best about Scaleway?

We manage several cloud architectures via several providers. Scaleway is our preferred provider, the rates are correct, the availability is exemplary and the management back-office is very easy to use. We recommend Scaleway for the implementation of Cloud architectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scaleway?

We observed some bugs when using the back office, but nothing significant. Another disadvantage is that upgrading a Compute Instance machine is not very easy compared to other cloud providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect service and very customer friendly"
What do you like best about Scaleway?

I needed a macOS desktop system. Scaleways provided it perfectly smooth, with extremely user/customer friendly conditions despite Apple's complex constraints on its products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scaleway?

A minor part, with no effect on the overall top experience, is the somehow complex user interface of the web page/dashboard of Scaleways. The user interface could be improved to give a better service overview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
