867,370 professionals have used our research since 2012.

How was the initial setup?

We did the configuration and management through Terraform. It is an infrastructure as code tool. It made the deployment a little bit easier. I also tried doing it manually. It was quite a lot of work to have the right settings and get it going, especially if you're learning the tool. Once you know it, you will figure out what to do. We just have to study the solution.

The learning curve was not that steep. The vendor did a pretty good job. I remember using documentation to learn it. It was okay. Sometimes, we have to figure things out. Sometimes, the videos are outdated. I know how hard it is to keep it up to date with a continuously improving product.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the basic version. The product satisfies our needs. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
