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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup

It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

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 customer support team are very responsive."

"DigitalOcean is much cheaper compared to Oracle, Amazon, and Google, making it a better option for a startup."

"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 droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well."

"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 technical support services are good."

More DigitalOcean pros

"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."

"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."

"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."

"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

Cons

"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."

"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 improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."

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

"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."

More DigitalOcean cons

"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."

"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."

"The backup functionality needs to be improved."

"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."

"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is cheap."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The program is cheaper than others."

More DigitalOcean pricing and cost advice

"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."

"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
