User Testimonials
	Lumen Cloud Application Manager	Micro Focus AppPulse Suite (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services? Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Discontinued Products From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) Quick deployment of pre-built virtual machines Some of the virtual machines also are readily available with a pack of softwares Good Stability. Using it as a student, I have never experienced any downtime issues with the projects deployed on AppFog.

Cons	Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) Though it is good and easy for developers, it lacks operational activities and monitoring tools. It is easy to deploy WAR on AppFog with its console but sometimes it can lack on the performance and feasibility. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Discontinued Products It's getting slow when we work with large projects. At first it's hard to find some features.

Support Rating	Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Overall the support is good. Most of the hard situations passed smoothly because of the support team. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.
