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

"It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean."

"The solution's app platform simplifies many tasks a developer must handle manually. For instance, when serving a website, the app platform uses NGINX to manage the app's serving, caching, and automatic rerunning in case of failure."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."

"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 like Kubernetes integration."

"The team was particularly satisfied with the flexibility of the service and the rules for managing virtual machines on DigitalOcean."

More DigitalOcean pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."

Cons

"The platform could enhance its features, particularly for ETL processes. Additionally, more integration features would be highly beneficial."

"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."

"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."

"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."

"Other solutions are proving the monitoring feature, like AWS having GuardDuty and SAP having services for logs and monitoring. DigitalOcean doesn’t have any other benefits."

"There are disadvantages, such as machines getting stuck or disconnected, requiring restarts."

"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."

"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."

More DigitalOcean cons

"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The program is cheaper than others."

"This is a pay as you go solution. There is no license and it is usage based."

"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."

"I would rate DigitalOcean's pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive."

"The pricing is cheap."

"The solution provides the cheapest cloud in comparison to the other cloud solutions."

"The tool's pricing is cheap."

"The pricing is moderate and reasonable for a mid-tier cloud platform."
