Verified User in Computer Software
Ability to start and stop devices virtually as well as add more memory and processing power without ever touching hardware is great. The web interface for management is intuitive and easy to use. Built in monitoring and alerts.

Service, Cost, hidden charges. contract terms. Not very easy to understand or set up. They tried to charge me $4000 for installing Redit. I canceled the service immediately.
