These are the guys who own softlayer

These are the guys who own softlayer, and ran it to the ground. The support is crap. You're also charged a ton for things you can get cheaper elsewhere. Extortion mucrg

It would be hard to find a firm with worse customer service than IBM. Opaque, confusing, hard to communicate and time wasting. Truly a day spent with IBM customer service would make anyone suicidal. I can see why the stock performance is so disappointing

Absolutely has the worst customer service. If there was an option to give zero stars, I would. I spoke to them about cancelling my subscription and not being charged before the month started. They were not willing to help which is understandable due to the policy agreement, but what is not okay is that they later double charged me for the service that I'm not even using

Good tool which needs little improvement

What do you like best? It allows you to maintain many API hassle free and needs very less maintenance. Also it is good to have different portals for developing rules and maintaining APIs. Also security can be maintained in only one one place(API connect) instead of configuring in every service. And with less technical knowledge it can be used. What do you dislike? The tool is simple but for a newbie it is confusing. it should be further more simplified and made it easy. ans also can ...
