DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

I really like DigitalOcean's great and easy-to-use interface, which makes navigation a breeze. Virtual servers are deployed quickly without any delays, and I appreciate that they have a lot of datacenter locations, ensuring a nearby location is always available. The documentation and how-to instructions provided are great and make the platform pleasurable to use rather than just a work requirement. The interface isn't buggy, which enhances my experience.

I think documentation about setting up SSL certificates for their cloud storage (and interface related to it) can be improved and allow more ways to make the configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What I like most about DigitalOcean is how simple and user-friendly it is. Creating and managing Droplets (VPS) is straightforward and easy, even for someone with only basic knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This was a bit challenging for beginners. It requires some technical knowledge to configure SSH, set up the firewall, and properly secure the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have a startup program that supports startups. They also offer flexible payment options when you’re running short on cash. On top of that, their support team is lovely, understanding, and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They offer a lot of features; however, I wasn’t able to identify or explore them on my own. I would appreciate it if Digital Ocean could provide each client with a one-on-one guide or support to ensure a smoother, more seamless onboarding experience.

I also dislike about them that they require another vendor to send the SMTP Emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve used a couple of VPSs and droplets, and beyond the ease of setup in each case, the included features are clearly explained. From a technical standpoint, the uptime and availability have been great, which is important for critical systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe I haven't dug deep enough to use some features that I might dislike. It would be nice to recover root access from the console in the web dashboard if you're somehow locked out of your server, but that's actually the user's fault, not DO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how flexible it is to manage droplets and apply new specifications when needed, and I’ve also had a good experience with their customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s frustrating that you can’t keep the same IP address when creating a new droplet from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like DigitalOcean because it helped me store and manage my business data efficiently, saving me time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think DigitalOcean could improve by making the data storage feature more advanced. Also, I had to practice a bit to get used to the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing platform. Best cloud company we have found. What I like msot is they charge reasonably for the compute they offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardly anything. I love digital ocean and it has been the best platform we have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. If you don't know how to set something up, there's little doubt that you can found out, with a detailed walkthrough document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple to use, secure and has services and products that are prefect for my use case. I like their knowledge base too. I like how simple it is to track the performance of my droplets. And I really like the pricing too. I was easily able to setup and get running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
