I tried using their Magic Containers product and there were issues that showed a lack of attention to detail as well.

It's supposed to scale globally (magically!) but I found multiple cases where particular nodes were problematic and the health checks didn't detect them (in fact to start with the health checks didn't even work properly if you had multiple containers, they did fix that). The support was quite slow too, after finding multiple product issues they'd escalate to developers and then come back a month later and ask to retest, but some of this took multiple round trips. I was only using this on a side project, but definitely wouldn't consider them for anything critical, even if they are quite cheap.
