Enjoy cost-effective hosting with flexible deployment and room for payment model improvement

I use only one feature, which is the droplet, and it has been satisfactory. The droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well. I also have total freedom over what I use, and I have a better user interface and documentation compared to Oracle.

Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel

There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is easy to set up."

"The technical support services are good."

"The solution's app platform simplifies many tasks a developer must handle manually. For instance, when serving a website, the app platform uses NGINX to manage the app's serving, caching, and automatic rerunning in case of failure."

"DigitalOcean is much cheaper compared to Oracle, Amazon, and Google, making it a better option for a startup."

"The team was particularly satisfied with the flexibility of the service and the rules for managing virtual machines on DigitalOcean."

"The solution is very stable."

"I like Kubernetes integration."

"The droplet feature is valuable for hosting my applications as it is particularly cost-effective and serves my needs well."

More DigitalOcean pros

"The maintenance is a significant advantage as it is supported by the international community rather than the local community."

"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."

"The most valuable aspect is that it is easy to use the software."

"The initial setup is manageable."

"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."

"Technical support from SAP is great."

"The product makes it easier to overview the ERP system and manufacturing processes through different modules."

Cons

"The solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."

"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."

"The lack of a proper service provider model ultimately led us to cease operations with DigitalOcean."

"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."

"Other solutions are proving the monitoring feature, like AWS having GuardDuty and SAP having services for logs and monitoring. DigitalOcean doesn’t have any other benefits."

"The deployment time can be improved in DigitalOcean. While deployment is automated, the process can take a minute and a half to five minutes, and for more complex applications, this time increases even further. This is not optimal for applications that receive frequent updates."

"There are disadvantages, such as machines getting stuck or disconnected, requiring restarts."

"DigitalOcean could offer a pay-as-you-go model similar to AWS, where I would pay for what I use rather than having fixed payments."

More DigitalOcean cons

"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."

"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."

"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."

"The web client is an area with shortcomings, which SAP is presently working on, and needs to improve."

"The tool's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"There is a need to make multiple changes in the code to make a few changes in any module of the product."

"SAP Business One on AWS could improve by adding more functionality to the web client."

"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."

"There is no licensing fee but there is a subscription cost based on how much RAM and storage you require."

"The price of DigitalOcean could be lower. It is expensive. it's higher than other solutions available in the market. We pay approximately $20 to $25 a month to use the solution. The price we pay is for the shared CPU option."

"The program is cheaper than others."

"The pricing is cheap."

"The tool's pricing is cheap."

"The solution provides the cheapest cloud in comparison to the other cloud solutions."
