The platform is user-friendly, fast, and convenient. However, adding funds can be challenging, especially for users like me who rely on prepaid cards instead of credit cards as a student.

Appropriate cost, Tensorflow cannot detect GPUs card

Appropriate cost. But sometime my tensorflow cannot detect the GPUs card. so I close the pods and find other GPUs to open new pod. Build-in Dropbox sync is too slow.

Reply from Runpod Inc

Thank you for sharing your experience and valuable feedback.

We’re glad to hear that you find the cost appropriate—affordability is one of our core goals. However, we're sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered:

TensorFlow Not Detecting GPU
That definitely shouldn't be happening. It's possible that certain containers or driver configurations are impacting GPU recognition by TensorFlow. If this continues, we’d love to take a closer look at the specific pod or setup you’re using—please don’t hesitate to reach out to support at help@runpod.io with the pod ID so we can investigate and help find a more stable solution.

Slow Built-In Dropbox Sync
We appreciate you pointing this out. We’re aware that sync speed can vary and are continuously working on improving data transfer performance, including for integrations like Dropbox. Your feedback helps highlight where we can focus our efforts.

Thank you again for your input—it helps us improve and better support your projects.

Overall

Overall, the experience with RunPod has been quite good. The platform is user-friendly, stable, and straightforward to use. However, it's challenging to obtain large-scale configurations of high-performance GPUs due to limited availability, especially when scaling up projects. Additionally, it would be beneficial if RunPod could offer more Docker environments pre-configured with popular, high-quality open-source large models, making it easier and more efficient for users to get started.

Thank you for your balanced and insightful feedback!

We’re really pleased to hear that your overall experience with RunPod has been positive and that you find the platform user-friendly, stable, and easy to work with. That’s exactly what we aim for!

We also deeply appreciate the thoughtful suggestions:

Availability of Large-Scale GPU Configurations
Availability of high-performance GPUs at scale can sometimes be a challenge, and it's something we're actively working on improving. Scaling up smoothly is essential for many of our users, and we understand how critical it is for project success.

Pre-Configured Docker Environments
This is a fantastic suggestion. We’ve noted this and will share it with our product team to explore how we can better support these use cases.

Your feedback helps us grow and deliver a better experience for everyone—thank you again for taking the time to share it.

Great service, some things to imporove

Good:

(1) Clean user interface
(2) Great features
(3) Reliable service

To Improve:

(1) IMPORTANT: Ability to increase system RAM

Currently, the instances we use have 50GB of system RAM, but sometimes we need 64GB. The only solution is to choose a significantly larger instance. However, in our region, such instances are unavailable. The only alternative is to add another GPU, but since ComfyUI can't utilize it, this results in unnecessary costs.

(2) CPU instances available in all regions

This would allow us to handle administrative tasks on more cost-effective instances without requiring a GPU.

Thank you for the thoughtful and constructive feedback!

We're glad to hear you're enjoying the clean user interface, great features, and reliable service—that's exactly the kind of experience we strive to deliver!

Your suggestions for improvement are incredibly valuable:

1. Ability to Increase System RAM
We completely understand the need for more flexibility with system RAM. It’s frustrating when the only option is a significantly larger (and often unavailable) instance, or having to add a GPU that your workload doesn’t even use. We'll share this feedback with our infrastructure team to explore better memory scaling options that don’t unnecessarily inflate costs.

2. CPU-Only Instances in All Regions
You're absolutely right—making CPU-only instances available more broadly would make it much easier and more cost-efficient to handle tasks that don’t require a GPU. This is a sensible improvement, and we appreciate you pointing it out.

Rest assured, your feedback has reached our infra and engineering teams now.

Thank you again for helping us improve. We're here to grow with your needs, and your input helps drive those changes.
