About CenturyLink
CenturyLink is a virtual server management solution designed to help businesses create, launch, and manage on-demand servers to support applications, assign IP addresses to systems, view activity history, and more. The platform includes task scheduling functionality, which enables administrators to automate various maintenance operations and deletion or archiving of servers at the end of projects.
Server orchestration and management capabilities in CenturyLink let enterprises create server groups to manage and configure multiple servers from a single dashboard, arrange them by projects, organizations or other custom criteria, schedule events, and implement an internal chargeback model to view monthly costs. Administrators can also define custom alerts and monitoring policies, to track utilization of resources such as CPU, memory or storage, and receive usage notifications via email, webhooks or visual indicators on the dashboard.
CenturyLink includes security and access management functionality, which facilitates secure access to servers via single sign-on (SSO), two-factor authentication, and role-based permissions and ensures compliance with HIPAA, ISO, PCI, FERPA, COPPA, and other regulatory standards.

Consistent, but lacking features and expensive

Consistent. But it was about double the price of what we switched to.

I have been working with CenturyLink or part of it for 20 years. It was originally Qwest and CenturyTel, and Qwest has always had billing issues. It seems the merger brought out the worst in both companies. Their customer support is non-existent, if you ever do need support get ready to spend a day on hold and being disconnected many times until you finally end up with someone who may be able to help, and then you will get disconnected again an lose all hope, I think it's their model. I often just ignore issues until they are critical because I don't have the time or patience to sit on the phone for hours.
And this part kills me, no matter what number you press, what you say, who you say it to, as a business you will ALWAYS 100% of the time end up in the home call center every time you call. I have entered in our account number, said "BUSINESS" very clearly, and every time I end up in the home queue and then someone asks me every single question I just answered on the automated system.
Pros
They have an amazing service tech named [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who is the only one I ever call because he's the only one who gets things done. Phone service seems to work most of the time, just pray you never need tech support.
Cons
It's outrageously expensive in small markets, and they are often the only game in town so they can name their own price. We have small locations with 1-2 staff where we pay more for service than larger 30-40 people offices simply because they have cornered the market and there is no competition. They also often make you bundle to "save" buying services we never use.
