In contrast, MongoDB Atlas, while still user-friendly, has a slightly lower score of 9.0, which some users feel reflects a steeper learning curve for database management.
- Reviewers mention that DigitalOcean's Infrastructure Provision capabilities, particularly in Virtual Machines (VMs), score an impressive 9.5, indicating robust performance and flexibility. MongoDB Atlas, while strong in its own right, scores 8.7 in Database Support, which some users feel limits its versatility in certain applications.
- G2 users highlight DigitalOcean's superior Quality of Support with a score of 8.6, noting quick response times and helpful resources. Conversely, MongoDB Atlas has a slightly higher score of 8.7, but some users report that the support can be less accessible during peak times.
- Users on G2 appreciate DigitalOcean's Application Performance scoring 8.5, particularly for web hosting and application deployment. MongoDB Atlas shines in Database Monitoring with a score of 9.0, which users say provides excellent insights into database performance, but some feel it lacks in application-level performance metrics.
