"The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
