Likelihood to Recommend	I honestly can't think of any that couldn't be better served by Azure. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	There are some other platforms that compete with DigitalOcean Droplets that have more performant servers for a very minimal price decrease. However, DigitalOcean's servers still have great performance, and the experience is better when you consider the developer console, managed options, and uptime that DigitalOcean offers. DigitalOcean is the better all-around package. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
