"Microsoft's technical support is good."
"The product provides visibility into what we are consuming."

"The initial setup is a little bit complex."

"I would like to see some features included for costing and more information about the components of deployment. Sometimes, it's very difficult to match the component with the solution because the descriptions are not very clear."
