Having fewer manual intervention steps to deploy and decommission virtual machines, along with the simplicity of the interface itself, is what makes Snow Commander stand out from the competition. And when we do need to contact support, we get a reply in a very short amount of time telling us what our expectations are for that case. I’m super-impressed with the support we get.
