    OnRamp is great for medium or large size companies that need to organize information in a way that is easily accessible. It is not great for small companies who don't have a lot of customers.

    Media Temple
    I think Media Temple is well suited for a somewhat tech-savvy and sophisticated dev shop that wants something powerful to use but doesn't want the complexity of something like Rackspace or AWS. If you don't need an insane level of control and would have something more on a managed basis, Media Tempe IaaS is the way to go.

    Cons
    LightEdge
    • I hear complaints from our donations department on how extractions can be difficult at times when pulling multiple years information
    • OnRamp can make room for improvement by allowing us to make changes from an admin standpoint on how we pull up certain reports

    • There are often errors with automatic updates and management of 3rd party tools including software such as Plesk.
    • I think the communication options could be improved. It isn't as easy to set up alerts as you would want.
    • Your plans are grandfathered so you are somewhat stuck with an old plan.

    OnRamp is much easier to use then Financial Edge with its user-friendly interface. Financial Edge seems dated and is much more complicated when running reports.

    Media Temple
    We've been using both DreamHost and Media Temple for years and Media Temple has a better overall experience, offering a more robust solution in terms of scalability and customization. On the other hand, DreamHost has great support and a better pricing policy. So it depends on what are you looking for and your budget as well.
