Senior Software Engineer at Checkit
Enjoy cost-effective hosting with flexible deployment and room for payment model improvement
I use only one feature, which is the droplet, and it has been satisfactory. The droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well. I also have total freedom over what I use, and I have a better user interface and documentation compared to Oracle.

Excellent support but it is a costly solution
The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The managed database service is what I really like as it really simplifies the setup of a database infrastructure."
"DigitalOcean is much cheaper compared to Oracle, Amazon, and Google, making it a better option for a startup."
"I like Kubernetes integration."
"Digital Ocean really hit the sweet spot."
"The most outstanding aspect of DigitalOcean is its user interface and ease of use. Compared to more complex solutions, such as AWS, DigitalOcean's platform is highly intuitive and user-friendly."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well."
"I think the Oracle team is very good."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Backup/snapshots does not always restore properly."
"The lack of a proper service provider model ultimately led us to cease operations with DigitalOcean."
"There are disadvantages, such as machines getting stuck or disconnected, requiring restarts."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"The platform could enhance its features, particularly for ETL processes. Additionally, more integration features would be highly beneficial."
"DigitalOcean could offer a pay-as-you-go model similar to AWS, where I would pay for what I use rather than having fixed payments."
"The deployment time can be improved in DigitalOcean. While deployment is automated, the process can take a minute and a half to five minutes, and for more complex applications, this time increases even further. This is not optimal for applications that receive frequent updates."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the cheapest option available, which costs $50 per month."
"The program is cheaper than others."
"I would rate DigitalOcean's pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The price of DigitalOcean could be lower. It is expensive. it's higher than other solutions available in the market. We pay approximately $20 to $25 a month to use the solution. The price we pay is for the shared CPU option."
"The pricing is cheap."
"The tool's pricing is cheap."
"There is no licensing fee but there is a subscription cost based on how much RAM and storage you require."
"The pricing is moderate and reasonable for a mid-tier cloud platform."
