Frustratingly bad We signed up in the hope of using access to cloud data storage, however, this past year has produced so many issues I've spent more time trying to manage their customer services than I have our data. They are slow to respond and do not adhere to their stated processes or our agreements. They're inconsistent, unreliable and from my experience, untrustworthy. We've even had our payments to them credited to another of their clients. Possibly one of the worst service and customer service experiences I have ever had.

Support tickets closed without response Support tickets closed without response; late notifications for overage; hidden network egress costs; waiting for weeks and weeks for responses to support queries; poor user interface and support system. Cannot recommend Rackspace in good faith for any use-case or workload.

Throwing money in a firepit would make me feel better than spending it with them Support makes a mistake and commits us to more licences that we need, for an annual subscription. Refuses to fix their mistake, technical managers get pulled in who promise credit notes but don't deliver. It's been over a year now, and numerous follow-ups, and still nothing. Our account manager just refused to deal with it. And now, after asking for the process to move away from them, just stops responding. This company has become a joke.

Excellent product Although I’ve never needed to contact customer service, the product is top notch. The email interface is clean and straight forward. The admin interface is robust without being bloated or confusing. The price for the services I’m receiving is excellent.

Rackspace was a nightmare Rackspace requires you to use specific hardware and migrate to newer equipment every 2 years. Every time you do rates increase. For us this was extremely disruptive. Migrating off Rackspace was very difficult. I gave notice, then was told Copying our data was extremely slow. I suspect they throttle data transfers. Getting a copy of our data on a USB was ridiculously difficult and took forever. Their trouble ticket system is annoying. Simple issues have to be referred to various departments. They required us to pay via ACH but then made billing errors. I still have an unresolved billing issue. They started closing tickets if I didn't respond immediately. Now they have terminated my online access to the support site and I no longer have access to the trouble ticket system.
