"Great service"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I keep forgetting they exist because their services are so reliable. Solid infrastructure.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I've been a user for more than 6 years and the only "issue" i have is that they don't offer a smaller managed postgres instance. That's the only nitpick I have.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

Web all development.

"Fantastic partner for all my server requirements of all sizes"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Being able to scale up and down my droplets as I require. Spinning up droplets with a couple of clicks is very simple. Administering backups and restoring CLI access after changing CLI - also really simple and helpful

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The time I've tried to create a custom image and reuse it - I failed to get exactly what I wanted. That could have been an error on my parts.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

I want a simple service where I can adminster the software and technolgies that I want to use. This provides exactly that and gets out of my way.

"Best Straight forward VPS deployment environment!"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I like it's simplicity, I've used other providers as linode, aws too but digital ocean is the most straight forward solution one could ask for, one click deployment, no need to worry about anything else, and while it manages all the boring tech stuff, it still gives you 100% complete control over your VPS or droplet in this case!

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The 'Backup' service could be better; it sometimes simply doesn't work, or at least in my case didn't work; other than that, the best alternative to all the other . The backup that should have been present wasn't on the list , the day it was needed! I also asked the support but no help.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

I deployed multiple of my personal and company servers in their droplets, currently 2 of them are live, It helps me host all my python web servers that require more control than provided in heroku etc.

DigitalOcean has been reliable and easy to setup from a variety of configurations to pick up. It provides a perfect setup to bring ideas to production faster at reasonable price.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Nothing significant to mention till date.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has so far proved to be the fastest means to go live with dev to prod and the flexibility of configurations on droplets has been a major help.

"Excellent service for secdevops"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Deployment of new droplets is easy and fast; I have total control of the OS, no firewall to quickly test services and deployments, and a wide variety of locations to chose from.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Outside the normal droplet functionality, the use of apps and images and the market I think it could be more streamlined to make it more approachable to end users.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

As part of my job I need to be able to test different software products, set up different networking scenarios, and try different deployments. Digital Ocean is great for this. Just create and destroy droplets on demand.
