Not an exciting data point, but one for the pile. | hardwaresofton wrote: | This is funny because I absolute think DO is one of the top 2 | "small" cloud infra providers and none of those reviews have | changed my mind, maybe I'm struck with a bit of "it wouldn't | happen to me" syndrome. | | Does anyone have anything good to say about TrustPilot? How does | it's business model (and the incentives it produces) differ from | Yelp? | amiga-workbench wrote: | I imagine at least some of the bad reviews are there because DO | serve the absolute bottom end of the market and with that comes a | specific kind of difficult customer. | ricardobeat wrote: | I like this one: | | > They lost thousands of dollars because they couldn't reset my | password without my dads Photo ID because I used his credit card | in the past (we got the same name I'll show you my ID I just | legally can't talk to my dad so I can't get that ID or billing | info) | | Seems like most of them are.. kinda suspicious users. | MisterBiggs wrote: | Seems like there isn't really any substance to most of the | negative reviews. I've never used Trustpilot before but after | seeing this it doesn't look like something I would rely on. | Rd6n6 wrote: | I've had good experience with do for small projects. I have not | used it for anything major. There are of course horror stories | kicking around for every cloud provider, the medicine for each is | just some variant of "have backups outside of that cloud" ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-08-18 23:00 UTC)
