It's flexible enough to cater almost all the change requests from stakeholders and we have greater monitoring and control over all our environments and that is I think is the part which I like the most about it.

Sometimes, IBM client services team takes time to resolve some kind of environment issues from their end and sometimes but quite rarely we may have to escalate the ticket or PMR for getting resolution quickly or make the issue resolve faster.

I would say it is offcourse one of the best solutions available in the industry and you can go for it for sure.
