How are customer service and support?
I would say the technical support is average - it isn't bad, but it isn't good either. I am used to technical support in Europe and America, where it is very good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was quite complex, because I use the solution for visualization.
What other advice do I have?
The program has very limited solutions for the virtualization of containers, so I the next version I would like to see that improved. I will still, however, give a nine out of ten rating.
