User Testimonials
	IBM Cloud Managed Istio	Oracle Application Container Cloud (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM Clearly, the [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] tool is very useful when you have multiple services and each service is connecting with other services through APIs in different networks. To manage this type of complex network, [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] is very useful. It comes with a license that can increase the billing of your project so make sure if your application network mesh, monitoring cannot be managed on your own then you can use it. If your application is not very complex then you have many tools available like Grafana, Prometheus, Sumo Logic, which you can integrate individually with your cluster and implement. In this type of scenario, it is better to not use [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] and it will serve your purpose as well.

Return on Investment	IBM It reduced the complexity of network mesh (ingress/egress services). One tool with many solutions. No need to integrate monitoring tools or notification tools. It reduced the number of lines of YAML code. It reduced the number of labor hours.
