Functions well with good features
Pros and Cons
  • "Functions well and has good features."
  • "Google is not well supported in France."

What is our primary use case?

Our use case is to plug platforms, especially applications that are 
based on website micro services such as containers. 

What is most valuable?

From our perspective this is a good solution that functions well and has good features. 

What needs improvement?

We are based in France and it's difficult to find people with sufficient training to assist us. I'd like to see companies with the right level of expertise to help my customers to move their projects from the traditional information system or infrastructures on premise to cloud but it's very difficult to find that here. Google is not well supported in France. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not so easy. The average deployment time is between one and two years. It requires an initial feasibility study to understand the scope. Once that's established you need to find the path to help set up the right security parameters. The migration is done through scripting and codes. The deployment requires project managers and engineers.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this solution but it's important to find the right partner and be sure you have a suitable use case. I rate this solution eight out of 10.
