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.

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 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."
"Digital Ocean really hit the sweet spot."
"The team was particularly satisfied with the flexibility of the service and the rules for managing virtual machines on DigitalOcean."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"DigitalOcean is a good solution and I would recommend it to others."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I think the Oracle team is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"Backup/snapshots does not always restore properly."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"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 technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I think the support can be improved, and I also think DigitalOcean needs to work on the reliability of the droplets."
"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."
"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."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."

"I am using the cheapest option available, which costs $50 per month."
"The pricing is moderate and reasonable for a mid-tier cloud platform."
"The tool's pricing is cheap."
