| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Lead Developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees | 4.0 | I primarily use DigitalOcean for its cost-effective Droplets feature, simplifying deployment and integration. Its affordability contrasts with AWS, though there are performance issues. Despite limited services and occasional technical drawbacks, it remains an economical choice for cloud-related tasks. |
| Commercial Manager at Uranium For IT Solutions | 3.5 | We used DigitalOcean for infrastructure and virtual servers due to its flexibility and lack of certain Microsoft restrictions. However, issues with their sub-account handling and partnership model led us to stop using their services in favor of Microsoft Azure. |
| Senior Software Engineer at Checkit | 4.0 | I use DigitalOcean to deploy my applications, valuing its cost-effective droplets and superior interface compared to Oracle. While I wish for a pay-as-you-go model, DigitalOcean remains a cheaper and better option for my startup compared to Oracle and others. |
| IT Consultant at a tech services company with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | DigitalOcean has been beneficial for some services, such as deploying static Angular applications. However, we face network latency issues, particularly with our Kubernetes installation compared to other providers like Google. We are considering alternatives like Azure for better performance. |
| Senior Information Security Manager at a real estate/law firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I find DigitalOcean valuable for its ease in setting up a phishing server to test employee awareness of malicious emails. I appreciate its simplicity, although I haven't considered other solutions or felt the need for improvements. |
| Co-Founder and Full Stack Developer at Special Quiz | 4.0 | I use DigitalOcean for managing static files and domains, and I appreciate its intuitive and user-friendly interface. Although I don't use its deployment features due to an existing script, integration with GitHub would be a valuable improvement. |
| Director of Cloud Solution Group at DTech Cloud Corporation | 5.0 | I use DigitalOcean's platform for software development, including CI/CD implementations. It is straightforward and stable, offering a reliable service. However, it could improve in ETL features and integration options to enhance its overall offering. |
| Cloud and DevOps Engineer at Betaque | 4.0 | I used DigitalOcean for VMs and Kubernetes clusters due to its affordable pricing. Its user-friendly interface is a plus, but it lacks advanced monitoring features found in AWS and SAP. I switched from AWS, GCP, and Oracle for cost efficiency. |
