DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

The entire platform is super easy to use. The main tools used in the cloud are available. Transparency with monthly expenses is also a strong point.

One of the weaknesses is that it does not have data centers in Brazil and does not have payments in our local currency (Brazilian Real).

DigitalOcean helps us to have greater agility and ease with all cloud infrastructure

Predictable pricing and simplified approach to configuration.

The tradeoff for simple configuration is that sometimes you cannot do everything you'd like to and are forced to simplify your design to accommodate the available product offerings. In general, this leads to a better system design that is less coupled to your cloud provider, but at the time, it can be a bit of a barrier if you are used to more powerful cloud providers like AWS/Azure.

I needed container hosting, storage space for secure file uploads and database hosting. All the basics to host a modern SaaS application.

What i like in digital OCEAN is The ease of use. This let US deploy quickly and create fast.

The only thing i dislike in digital ocea is The fact of The automatized backup is saved in The same site of The droplet.

The problema is cost. Digital OCEAN help me giving The best prices in The Market and The ease of understeand The prices with no suprises

Stability and pricing. Good technology behind

UI is too simple, time to time and confusing when try to find some settings. Real-time chat with the customer service would be good.

It let me manage all my customers servers sndntiving for me one-stop-shop management window.

Digital Ocean provides excellent self-service, easy-to-scale solutions for growing businesses. Business is easier having a reliable partner.

Hope security solutions become priority e.g. CloudFlare like solutions.

We’re building capable web-based products, DO helps as we grow.

DO tools are complete and simpler than other tools of other companies

For needs I got, I have no something concrete to say I dislike.

In DO I have deployed telegram bots, websites, and web platforms. Besides, I use DO a lot for teaching.

Ability to deploy, upgrade or downgrade server specs as needed at any point + flexible pricing. For example, at some point a certain project would not compile due to low end server specs. I was able to easily upgrade the server, compile the project and downgrade the server back. If I need to test some software I can deploy a new server with one-click configuration in a few minutes, test the software and discard the server. Another great thing is community guides. Plenty of useful information to help deploy and configure various software and environments. DigitalOcean dashboard is nice and easy to use. And I've just realized that in the years of using the service I rarely have to log in to my dashboard. Which is I big plus — when you "set and forget" the service, it means it just works.

The only issue I had at some point is outgoing email delivery due to blacklisted IP address. Some email providers had to blacklist a whole range of IPs belonging to Digital Ocean. This might be a result of how easy it is to deploy a server and abuse it for unsolicited email delivery. To be fair it’s something that any cloud provider might experience and DO support was quite helpful.

I’m running web sites for my own software products. Nothing big, so a cheap low end server spec is enough for me. I’ve been using DigitalOcean for a few years now and I'm happy with it.

While I believe AWS provides many more services than Digital Ocean, the advantage Digital Ocean has is that of simplicity. You sign up, add card details and you are pretty much good to go. You can start for as low as $5/month which is very cheap for students or for people who are just getting started.

There is nothing at the moment that I dislike about Digital Ocean. However it could add some inbuilt AI/ML processing tools that could help the community.

Deployment simplicity, Access simplicity, one click apps. Benefits are the clear documentation that is provided, which has saved me so many times even when Im not using digital ocean

Really just a great company all around. Definitely recommend.

There isn't much to dislike. I would have liked it if they did not raise their prices but it's worth it.

Na

auto-backup for droplets makes you feel you're safe if you want to do any upgrades or change on your server configuration

you can't downgrade after upgrading your droplets, if you're already upgraded noway to go back.

zero down time and flexibility in upgrade and choose what you need

Infrastructure as Service can be easily scalable and downgraded on the Fly. Lower Cost best platform for SMB business.

Missing Partner Portal Management, Where new customers can be assigned to the partner billing. Better Discount for Partners. Bring Our own IP pool.

Infrastructure as Service can be easily scalable and downgraded on the Fly. Lower Cost best platform for SMB business.

I like the ease of creating droplets and apps

On the other hand, I think the cost of the database is expensive

deploy my applications in django and python

Control panel. It is full of functionality and helpful tools.

Waiting times for deployment of dropplets.

Helping me learn about hosting.

Very quick to create virtual servers, user interface is clean and clear

No free tier for hobby or development environments (aws has a free tier for example)

Development and production servers for web applications we've created. Object storage, static landing pages.

The ability to deploy multiple servers at once using any of our preferred flavors of operating systems. Also the ability to be able to backup and save snapshots that we want to save but are not currently using.

It would be beneficial to have ability to have more than a few of our employees the ability to log in to the account at the same time. This will help when you have numerous employees in your tech department.

Scalability is a big issue for us. There may be times when we only have a few active clients, but then other times we might have to deploy hundreds of snapshots in a single day. It's good to say DigitalOcean working on its scalability.

Great price. It's very accessible and easy to start developing.

I would like if they have some servers in Brazil

I've been using DigitalOcean for 7 years to host my projects and it's being amazing.

The user interface is simple (not too simple) and intuitive.

Sometimes I would like to have some extra functionality but this, of course, contradicts simple UI benefit.

Single place to manage virtual infrastructure.

Digital Ocean has a wide variety of cloud services that aree growing in comparison with larger competitors and is more cost effective than some of its similar competitors for basic services. In addition, the company offers a wide variety of payment methods including methods using Google Pay and Apple Pay. Digital Ocean also has a wide variety of documentation and tutorials that are outmatched by any other website or service. The service is often reliable with downtime rare, even in the presence of other issues. Furthermore, their customer service is responsive and very friendly.

Digital Ocean, however, has growing pains that are associated with larger expansion such as limited global data centers with some restrictions on availability. Furthermore, Digital Ocean lacks a lot of certifications on most data centers and the existing compliance often varies by data center.

Digital Ocean is solving the problem of easily accessible services that cater to developers of all sizes. Most cloud services restrict what developers can do with their platforms such as resource limitations, cost restrictions, or access restrictions. Digital Ocean allows unrestricted access to droplets and some other services through the use of container technologies, so developers can experience a near-native server experience. This benefits me as I can my services as my needs warrant.

The uptime and speed of the server is amazing and the fact I can scale up and down droplets means I'm Never spending more then I need to

Nothing I like everything about the digital ocean brand and service

It solves my issue of hosting my clients website. I like that I can host each website on a separate droplet which is much better for security

DigitalOcean is a great alternative to the other big name VPS providers out there. They have consistenly (but not too fast / recklessly) added new products and services to widen their appeal (particularly for less experienced users). Additionally, they are excellent members of the community, offering great tutorials and courses to grow your skill set. I solidly believe in supporting companies like this.

If you are not very familiar with Linux servers you need to be careful with what you are doing as DigitalOcean is not really there is manage every aspect of your server. But that's okay, that's also what makes the pricing great, I think.

I needed a basic VPS / hosting provider that I could manage with a 3rd party service (like Cleavr). Doing this for my hosting means I no longer worry about dodgy full-service hosting providers. I get exactly what I expect -- a server that's as fast as what I pay for, nothing less, nothing more.
