According to OpenIMP
- ''I especially like how we were able to get the help and advise we needed without giving remote access to our cluster. We provided a Ceph-Collect, the engineers reviewed the data from it and replied based on that data. This way of working enabled us to collaborate without breaching our security protocol.''
- ''We were given a list of steps to follow, to makes sure our cluster stays healthy. We followed the steps and fixed some issues. I like the way 42on operates.''
- ''There is no latency in the communication. I got fast responses whenever I had a question or such.''
