Questions Primeur doesn’t want to answer
You know it's time to switch MFT vendors when your current provider can't or won't answer important questions about their products, capabilities, and future reliability:
What is the future of Spazio?
Spazio is Primeur’s older and least-featured MFT solution compared with Data One. Most Primeur customers are still using the Spazio platform, despite its diminishing website presence and commitment to development. Can Spazio continue to be supported with Data One getting all the attention? When will customers be forced to migrate?
How do Spazio customers migrate to Data One?
It would be natural for Primeur to want customers to move to its newer solution; however, there is no assisted migration between them. Customers must navigate a daunting migration program, swapping one solution for another from scratch. If this is your reality, assessing the MFT marketplace for an alternative provider makes good sense.
How can Primeur adequately support customers outside of Italy and France?
With the bulk of its employees and resources in Italy and France, Primeur's ability to support customers around the world – in their native language or with multiple locations globally – clearly comes into question.
Is the use of proprietary protocols PR4 and PR5 restrictive?
Primeur customers would be wise to look at examples of proprietary protocols used in the file transfer industry and whether it locks them into using solutions longer than they want and raising the total cost of ownership.
Are Data One’s stability issues a thing of the past?
The number one customer complaint about Data One used to be stability issues, which wastes a lot of time working with technical support, experiencing downtime, patching software, and reinstalling STENG members. Things have improved, but are they as good as they should be?
What is the true cost of ownership for Data One customers?
Factoring in the cost of licensing/subscription and stability challenges that may be exacerbated without localized support, what is the true cost of ownership Primeur customers experience with Data One and is there an alternative that will generate a stronger return on investment?
