User Testimonials
	CenturyLink Public Cloud (discontinued)	Navisite Managed Infrastructure Services (NaviCloud)
Likelihood to Recommend	I believe for small to mid business application hosting Centurylink provides an adequate service. When moving to larger scale business enviornments I believe the limitations, slowness is going to become a problem Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Clarify before hand any additional charges for remote hand and arrangement/SLA for remote hand. Negotiate well on these terms as they tend to be more flexible around this. Clarify shipping and handling charges if any. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Offloading the requirements for hosting apps in house - cost savings Access ability - users could access documents and programs from anywhere Collaborative work ability - multiple users could work within the same enviornment Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Remote hand services often pretty responsive and good follow through Shipping and handling was never an issue at Navisite facility for our hardware orders Managed services were also very competent to address issues within short amount of time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Perhaps ease of use - it's not convoluted but a little more streamlined of an interface would be great Make your presence more known - in a world of heavily advertised cloud options CenturyLink is not at the top of the pile and I think it may be due to a lack of awareness in the business community. Advertise! Streamline functionality - interface can be a little slow at times. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Not very pro-active outside of monitoring Previous account rep was not customer focused The ticketing system they use, Proximity can be flaky. Sometimes, do not receive ticket updates Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Price and facility equipment, location of the hosting facility factor into the decision to renew Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I did not select the application hosting environment - I was a user.

Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Navisite's rates were better and they seemed to have more SQL Server expertise.

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Cost savings by not having a full-time DBA on staff - saving of at least 50K a year Data team not on call 24/7 Navisite team will try to fix issue if possible - e.g. shrink log files that have grown Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
