A low-priced solution for VMs and Kubernetes clusters with ease of use
I was using DigitalOcean for VMs and Kubernetes clusters because it offers Kubernetes at the cheapest amount with the same data services but with limited services. Other cloud solutions like AWS and Google Cloud provide many ML and AI services The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to…

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"The technical support services are good."
"The customer support team are very responsive."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
 

Cons

"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The platform could enhance its features, particularly for ETL processes. Additionally, more integration features would be highly beneficial."
"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"
"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."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The program is cheaper than others."
"The tool's pricing is cheap."
"The solution provides the cheapest cloud in comparison to the other cloud solutions."
"There is no licensing fee but there is a subscription cost based on how much RAM and storage you require."
"The pricing is cheap."
"I would rate DigitalOcean's pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"This is a pay as you go solution. There is no license and it is usage based."
"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."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
