Probably good for experienced SP admins

The proposition of generating a test instance of SharePoint for the purposes of solution development & testing was & is very appealing to me. Though I was able to deploy this instance based on the instructions provided, without intimate knowledge of SP system administration I was unable to do much with it. I spent a few days trying to solve for things like user authentication methods, app fabric caching & the distributed cache, but in the end I got lost in these configurations & never made it to working on custom user solutions. I may return to my studies & come back to this once I better understand how to manage the underlying infrastructure. For beginners, I would encourage you to first study SQL, SharePoint architectures, & SharePoint System Administration before deploying this software. One major downside I'll call out is that the claim of free troubleshooting/customer service (can't remember exactly how it was worded) doesn't actually have a working email address (it bounced when I tried to reach out). Overall I appreciate this service, but I think there's room to improve & target Citizen Dev's like me who are just learning. Many thanks to Data Resolutions for the trial!
