The dashboards is clean and intuitive, so even if you are new to cloud infrastructure, you can get things running quickly. The predictable pricing and clear documentation also make planning and scaling much less stressful.

Digital Ocean can feel a bit limited when you need very advanced or enterprise level features. Compared to bigger cloud providers, some managed services, regions or deep customization options are not available. Also while it is great for developers, you still need some technical knowledge to manage servers properly. if something breaks, troubleshooting is mostly on you, which can be challenging if you do not have a strong devOps background.

What I like best about DigitalOcean is its very simple and smooth UI. Whatever I need, I can find immediately without searching too much or googling. Everything is well organized and easy to understand. Also, I really like that DigitalOcean shows all my resource usage and billing details in one place, which makes cost tracking very clear and transparent. In addition, DigitalOcean provides excellent documentation and tutorials, which makes it easy to learn, troubleshoot issues, and set things up correctly even without deep DevOps knowledge.

One thing I dislike about DigitalOcean is that when I have too many processes running, like multiple servers and droplets, the dashboard can take slightly more time to load and respond. This becomes noticeable when managing server resources at once. Another drawback is the lack of detailed analytics for deployment. While basic metrics are available, more in-depth insight into CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage, especially at the application or deployment level, is missing. Additionally, some advanced features that are common in other cloud providers, such as deeper networking controls or managed enterprise-level service, are limited or require extra setup.

I've been using Digital Ocean for about 7-8 years. I've recommended it many times. In terms of freedom, it's so far superior to my previous web hosting options (BlueHost, HostGator etc.). It's also brilliant in terms of monitoring (checking uptime for my droplets) and the UI/UX is generally very easy to use and navigate. Pricing is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. I save a huge amount using DigitalOcean versus previous solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is probably the onboarding and learning to get set up. That said, the number of resources and learning documents provided by Digital Ocean is unbeatable.

This isn't a comment about DO as much as about the category: for a newcomer it can be overwhelming to see all the services. Naming conventions, terms, can be simplified to ease the entry process. This goes away as one gets comfortable with the space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can be relatively expensive for countries like Brazil, and it becomes even more costly when the application needs to scale and handle a high amount of traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use DigitalOcean for deploying application and database servers. I like the ability to quickly start and run different server configurations across the world. I appreciate the good server options DigitalOcean provides, like RAM and CPU optimized instances, which I can use depending on the task. This variety in server options is quite valuable to me because I can choose between them based on the applications I run, like adding more memory if an app consumes a lot of RAM.

Maybe update server prices more often as RAM and CPU become cheaper, but it is not critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their virtual machines (Droplets) typically only take a few minutes to configure before they are ready to use.

I really appreciate DigitalOcean's App Platform and Spaces. These features prove valuable for deploying client projects within my development agency. I find that DigitalOcean offers a very interesting value for money compared to other cloud competitors. The initial setup of DigitalOcean is quite easy, which is a notable advantage for getting started quickly. Overall, these aspects make our gradual transition from AWS to DigitalOcean supported and justified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Databases on DigitalOcean are considered somewhat expensive, especially for small projects. For example, the Postgres database at 15 dollars is seen as a significant expense, to the point that it seems more cost-effective to create your own Docker image to use it.
