"Much Simpler than AWS"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Very simple to use interfaces and tools for booting up web servers with certain stacks pre-installed. The dashboard is very clear to see utilization, server setup, backups, DNS records. Switching between server "sizes" and expanding storage it very strightforward and their online documentation is EXTENSIVE. I have found myself trying to use DigitalOcean's documentation on other servers that I am forced to use simply because they have done an amazing job of creating step-by-step guides with tips and warnings.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

There is not quite the variety of choices for server configurations and special tools (GPUs, AIs, etc) that AWS provides, but I can only get so upset about that because what I like about DigitalOcean is the simplicity. I have never needed to contact their support, but based on some of the things I have read it can be hard to get in touch with a human support team, that being said I have been using their service for years and never needed something that they didn't already ave documentation for.

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

I needed a relaiable and cost effective service to run a custom-coded eCommerce application (mostly PHP/MySQL) and they had plans that started at $5 and allowed me to scale up as my business needed.

"One of the best Bare Metal tier 1.5 providers!"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

When We have to make a support contact , the response is very fast, and always on the point. Even the free tier of support that has only incedents and bugs, is very very fast and more than described. Other than that , the network is super fast, their CDN is great. Features are getting relised all year round. Hosted Databases and Functions (Miscro services architecture) is reliable and scalable easily. Their API is transparent and you can create you own scalers for bare metal servers. Digital ocean have great tutorials on how to use things and how to create your own server, which is super helpfull for teams without Devops. their live backup feature is great, and their prices are very transparent. Overall it's a great internet provider.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I would like to see some more features for server downtime handling.

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

We can trust their infrastracture, their uptime is 99.99%+, their internal networking is great. Many location rounds the worls, transparent prices.

"The best for Beginners and Advance Users"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I have been a Digital Ocean User since 2016 and its just so easy to start with. One Click and you have Droplet (VPS). And if you need something like a Wordpress Site, its just as easy by choosing one of the Images available in the Marketplace. And 8 Years and Dozens more Features later, its just as easy to use.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I dont really have any, since most things I wanted are already in Digital Ocean now, including Kubernetes, Object Storage and Database support.

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

Ability to start very quick without overwhelming first time Users.

"Well designed interface, flexible options, and reasonable pricing"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

The online documentation is what originally drew me to DigitalOcean. Time after time I'd be researching some technical subject and the DigitalOcean page for that subject came up. I quickly learned when I clicked on that link I'd get a detailed, quality, knowledgeable how-to, with helpful comments from other experts for obscure details. Years ago, when I needed a cloud provider, I was already attracted, and signed up with Digital Ocean. I soon discovered this same attention to detail was in their product. The dashboard is easy to use, yet powerful. Their service is very flexible, with lots of options in how to configure and deploy, which I do often. I always know the cost is going to reasonable, too. I have no reason to go elsehwere, but because of corporate structure, I also use a similar service offered by a larger competitor. It is more confusing and more expensive by far. On the other hand, DigitalOcean is easy to integrate with, and the customer support is competent and quick enough, especially for the price. So I love Digital Ocean and happily recommend it to anyone who is looking.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Making snapshots sometimes takes a long time. In the middle of the night it goes quickly, so I assume it's just a matter of resource allocation. That's about it, though, I have very little to complain about.

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

Easy to deploy, long-term or short-term servers. We can expand or retract the size of our dev lab at will.
