What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We have had no issues with the deployment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We found certain stability issues that were solved by fine tuning some system parameters with support help.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's been able to scale for our needs.

How are customer service and support?

They have very accurate and fast support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup looked quite straightforward, however, later on we found some performance issues that required the fine tuning of system parameters. Those changes were not very well documented, but technical support helped us resolve the issues perfectly.

The implementation of officially supported features was quite easy. We were also required to extend the system with a couple of ad-hoc functionalities and development of these pieces of code was not easy due to the lack of in depth documentation.

What about the implementation team?

We performed the implementation in-house.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

As they have their own official support, we decided to choose this product over the others we looked at.

What other advice do I have?

Official support is a must have for working with this tool. If you want to cook it at home and face support on your own there are better alternatives with larger communities.
