"If you do a deployment for a proof of concept, it is simple."

"Our users can order VMs using the API."
"We have it deployed in a highly-available environment and scalability is nice because we just had another ESX host and then we are able to increase the capacity."
"Our customers don't have to manage HVAC and space and cooling and all of those things that they used to have to do. Today, all they have to do is provision a server and manage their users."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."

"Most of the time the upgrade experience has been good but sometimes things break after upgrading. For example, some API codes stopped working."
"Maintaining the product requires effort and a good understanding of the environment, including how to set up the codes and other configurations. Pricing needs to be improved to improve the customer penetration."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."

"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
