Lead Developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Private cloud deployment offers cost-effective solutions but needs improved connectivity and issues mitigation

There are disadvantages, such as machines getting stuck or disconnected, requiring restarts. Sometimes we lose connection and need to check with the IT service provider from the DigitalOcean service team to reboot. There are issues where even with 8 GB RAM, the performance doesn't meet expectations. The lower cost comes with more issues and disadvantages.
