"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The solution is very stable."
"I like Kubernetes integration."
"The product enables flexibility in network structures."
"We are using it for infrastructure automation."
"They have in release 4.0 features from vSphere and Cloud Suite. It's a complete data center."
"You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge."
"VMware Cloud Foundation provides us with the vSphere dashboard through which we can manage, monitor, schedule, and spin up your virtual machines. We can manage, monitor, and get reports of your infrastructure."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy."
"I'm able to deploy many platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Azure on VMware."
"The most valuable area is the ECS environment which includes many features."
"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"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."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The pricing could be a bit less expensive."
"The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
"Working on features that could include the capability to migrate workflows from non-VMware environments would be highly beneficial."
"The interface is good, but there are compatibility issues or issues with the certificate for the VCenter."
"The use of cloud and other integrations need to be improved and made easier."
"Cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals."
"In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process."
