What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Clean UI & UX: The control panel is intuitive and uncluttered, making it easy to spin up and manage virtual machines, databases, and other services even for beginners.

Transparent pricing: Their pricing model is straightforward and predictable—especially attractive for startups and developers who need to keep tight control over costs.

Developer community & documentation: DigitalOcean has built a strong library of tutorials and guides, which are often more accessible and practical than what you find from bigger cloud providers.

Droplets (VMs): Launching a Droplet is fast, and performance tends to be solid for most general-purpose applications.

Managed services: They’ve expanded into managed databases, Kubernetes, app platform (PaaS), etc., offering more flexibility while maintaining simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good technology, bad sales and support. Mediocre pricing."

0/5

What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Good tools, pricing is just average. We use VPSs and managed databases for Wordpress websites and MERN saas applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Support is bad. Impossible to reach anyone. Hit our "droplet limit" and it took 24 hours for someone to respond. Sent a calendar link to talk about it next week, nothing sooner available. Hardware is also aging and not really updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
