What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The platform is stable.
How are customer service and support?
I think that they offer good support and have a good knowledge about the platform - especially second level reps. I have been working with them for over twenty years and am on a first name basis with some of the reps.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite complex. We had one person set this up and manage it. Initial deployment can take up to five or more days depending on the level of complexity (i.e. is grid computing involved?).
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is a bit expensive.
What other advice do I have?
Customers should have knowledge about SAS language - the basic for the platform - and SQL - in order to export the data to read from an external rational database.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
