For us, the versioning was an issue. There were some compatibility issues between what the customer had on-site and what the lowest available SoftLayer was. There was some compatibility that they had to work through before they migrated. That was the biggest challenge. They do not have a whole lot that they can change. It's already a good product. It fits in the market. It's a niche solution for a very specific use case. It's good at what it does, however, I don't think it's going to take over anything else, being as niche as it is.
