Shady Billing Model - Stay Away Message from Support: "We do not yet have a tool on the console to display the traffic used by your buckets. Your invoice allows you to see the traffic used, it is updated once a day." Scaleway don't allow users to monitor the consumption of paid services such as the traffic of a storage buckets, something simply unacceptable. STAY AWAY from this type of company/billing or you have a very "unpleasant surprise" on your invoice.

Rebooted my dedicated server to lose… Rebooted my dedicated server to lose all my data You'd think I wouldn't fall for it twice, but the small dedicated servers they offer are very prone to failure. After several years, rebooting just kills them. Support can't do anything because all the nodes/blades are in the same unit and it would disrupt other customers.

I worked there.. I worked there... 3 months ( Time to find anything else ) People that are hired have no clues what are they doing, some don't even have a IT background. Managers are simple jerks who never worked for another company, they're the part of Iliad Group, so the best 'pieces' from the 'best' customer service in France, notably FREE.fr, land there as Seniors or Managers. Yes it's the truth, they support scam and spam. I've found my personal data there from over 15 years ago, when I was a customer. CNIL isn't even reacting about the GDPR issue. They surely have them on their payroll.

Hidden Costs and Indifferent Customer Service at Scaleway Be cautious of hidden costs with Scaleway. Their billing practices obscure transparency, making it challenging to track expenses due to some chargeable services not being visible in the user dashboard. Additionally, certain services are sometimes billed monthly, contrary to their advertised daily or lesser frequency. It is advisable to confirm any pricing with the helpdesk before utilizing services. My primary concern revolves around the lack of honesty and clarity in Scaleway's billing. Unexpected fees appeared on my bill without any prior indication or listing, casting doubt on the trustworthiness of [Provider Name]. This opacity, combined with a customer service team that appears indifferent to customer grievances, significantly erodes confidence in their services. If you're considering Scaleway, it is crucial to diligently monitor your bill for unforeseen charges and be prepared for a customer service experience that may fall short of providing adequate support and resolution.

A good sustainable, European cloud provider Last year we migrated part of our infrastructure from AWS to Scaleway. We were a bit hesitant because of all the negative reviews, but decided to give it a try. In the end we had only positive experience with Scaleway. They offer a wide variety of services at a good price. We haven't had any issues with billing. After a few months they contacted us to have a chat about our experience and our needs. Support is always quick, even without a support plan. Of course, I don't know what happened with the other reviews but if you're interested in a sustainable, European cloud alternative then I'd suggest to just give it a go and decide for yourself.
