What differentiates DigitalOcean from other similar products?

Digital Ocean is all about docker containers and scaling applications with ease, also they have a more upfront pricing model... so you can expect what to pay before you sign up

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the flexible model they have when scaling up a service or application, I also like how they have a marketplace of applications which can be integrated easily.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike Digital Ocean's support teams turnaround times. They take a significant amount of time to react and respond to support tickets.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I'd advise first containerizing your application and/or script before even considering which vendor to go with. Then, run it locally or on your current provider but be sure to monitor asset and resource utilization over a period of time. This will be a good estimate and indicator of the predicted usage of the app... Now, you can compare prices based on that data.

Pros

Client Friendly Policies
Reliable
Generous Negotitation
Unique Features

Cons

Less Effective Service
Less Transparent
Less Inspiring
