    AHEAD (formerly Sovereign Systems + Data Blue)
    They are easily our go to company for anything revolving around VMware suite, whether that is infrastructure related, automation related, or monitoring related. It's a no brainier to get their assistance with a lot of tasks as they can competently implement complex designs. Also on the storage architecture side they are great. I'm sure there is much more but for my team we mainly leverage them in these areas.

    OneUp Networks
    What stands out most about OneUp Networks is their understanding of accounting and tax workflows. They are not just providing hosting infrastructure; they understand how applications like QuickBooks Enterprise and UltraTax CS are used by accounting teams and the importance of performance, reliability, and support during critical periods.

    Pros
    AHEAD (formerly Sovereign Systems + Data Blue)
    • The provided pre-req documentation was thorough and well thought out, making it easy to jump into the project.
    • The design session to gather our requirements was very helpful, Sovereign's familiarity with the vRealize product line along with diagramming our desired layout confirmed our decision to bring in assistance with the project.
    • When we ran into some issues with Sovereign's custom code their development team was on top of it and solved the issue in a matter of a few days.

    Cons
    AHEAD (formerly Sovereign Systems + Data Blue)
    • Coordination of product orders with the vendor although I think the vendor is the bigger issue. Insuring delivery time frames are met is of great importance with these kinds of projects.
    • Communication between scheduled project meetings. There could be more contact between meetings.
    • Provide a customer portal for project tracking.

    Easy to use, no learning curve for our team, more like a Windows environment, and exactly like how we use it on our personal laptops.

    I would not call it training, rather would call it knowledge transfer.

    AHEAD (formerly Sovereign Systems + Data Blue)
    Having extensive pre-implementaton dialogue really made the process much smoother. We had most of our bases covered and were ready for the equipment installation/implementation, except for the previously mentioned network configuration issues that arose.

    The sales team at Ace Cloud seemed pushy to me, whereas here at OneUp I had a call with Parag, who answered all my queries very smoothly. Secondly, others know hosting but not the apps, whereas here the support team is knowledgeable and knows their stuff.
