We performed a comparison between DigitalOcean and Microsoft Azure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Kubernetes integration."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The solution is very stable."
"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 customer support team are very responsive."
"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can create a phishing server and use it."
"The most outstanding aspect of DigitalOcean is its user interface and ease of use. Compared to more complex solutions, such as AWS, DigitalOcean's platform is highly intuitive and user-friendly."
"It is stable and scalable. It is useful for many applications and services, such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive."
"Azure Active Directory: Has powerful security and auditing capabilities that we use to secure all our apps."
"One advantage of using Azure is that clients can start with a low-cost entry in terms of hardware and scale as their business and user base grows. They don't need to allocate a large budget for infrastructure upfront."
"Reliable with ease of provisional services."
"Microsoft Azure is scalable."
"The solution has given us more agility, scalability and opportunity to optimize the cost."
"The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use and the enhancements are continually being updated."
"Azure's Data Lake services are decent. I like AKS, and API Management is relatively straightforward to use. The security and SIEM options Azure offers are good. All the infrastructure services are easy to use and set up."
"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 solution could improve by having integration with GitHub."
"I would like to see improvements to the logging and user interface. The verification process could be more streamlined."
"I would like to see an automation feature added to send emails out using the open-source solution."
"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 technical support for this solution could be improved."
"I think something needs to be done in terms of technical support."
"We found the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Any time you use a cloud service, there are increased security risks. If you want more security, you have to have private hosting."
"I'd like to see better integration with S/4HANA integrated and other services, like monitoring, for example."
"Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network."
"When we work with Microsoft Azure we deploy it in a hybrid system. We do many operations with the open stack and I used it for APIs connected to Microsoft Azure. The reduction is because those APIs and our tools that are required to connect are not for the Microsft Azure solution. It has a bit of complexity, nothing to do with Microsoft Azure as a CSP."
"The solution lacks fluidity and is not intuitive."
"Technical support could be improved."
"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."
"In a month, there is a plan to increase pricing, which is something we are not looking forward to."
