Megaport makes cloud on ramp very easy to configure.
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with various vendors. API, for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more control over the workflow using vManage to configure the MVE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All cloud connectivity in one provider.
A Simple, yet Powerful Tool for Connecting Your Organization
What do you like best about the product?
Megapoprt makes it easy to build connections between an organization's resources and to connect to external resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two areas that Megaport could improve. One such area is contracts. For a company that promotes automation, their contracts tie to specific network resource ID's that are generated at resource creation. Some activities, require regeneration of a resource, and that would trigger an early-termination fee, even though the customer is still trying to spend the money with Megaport. Instead, make the contracts based on a monetary value versus specific resources. This gives a lot more flexibility to organizations who want to change things quickly without potentially causing additional costs from unintended ETFs.
The other area where Megaport can improve is how clouds can direct-connect. For example, to connect Azure to IBM Cloud using a dedicated 10 Gbps link to IBM, there are a couple of options, one of which is much simpler. The more complex option is to set up a Mega Cloud Router (MCR) and plumb an Azure ExpressRoute (and Megaport VXC) to the router, followed by buying a Megaport "port" in a datacenter IBM is colocated in and extending a VXC to that.
The simpler option is to eliminate the MCR from the complex option and extend the Azure ExpressRoute/Megaport VXC to the Megaport "Port" in the IBM-colocated data center. Because the BGP peering can now happen directly between Azure and IBM, this saves compute resources in the Megaport network by reducing the load on the routing infrastructure (it's all switching at that point).
To improve this further, allow Azure (or any cloud) to connect natively to the other clouds without needing to buy a "port". The purchasing process and required minimum contract length for a "port" (specific to this kind of use-case) detracts from agility and the ability to dynamically test/update configurations. Let the clouds peer with each other. While this does cause a loss of MCR revenue, it would allow an organization to afford additional simultaneous connections. Alternatively, find a way to make this model more "valuable" with additional features (such as an included second connection) and then make this a more "premiunm" connection type (with a _reasonable_ increase in cost). However, don't make this more expensive than implementing an MCR in the middle. Both architectures have value for different scenarios.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Megaport initially was our primary connectivitiy for internal WAN. After moving exclusively to the "cloud", we leverage Megaport for strategic connections between cloud service providers.
excellent
What do you like best about the product?
I like about megaport portal is easy and faster
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike e about Megaport Portal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
connectivity and global presence
Megaport Review - Great product - easy to work with
What do you like best about the product?
I can't believe how easy it is to use. Plus, whenever I have a question, my rep responds within minutes and jumps on a zoom call. Generally there are 3 Megaport folks on there, my rep and 2 engineers. They lead me through the procedure to order and set up new connections and virtual cross connections.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing. Even their pricing is very reasonable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They allow me to connect my datacenter with AWS. Before, I was setting up a VPN that worked for the most part, but occasionally it would fail. I have yet to have a failure with Megaport. It's nice to have something so reliable.
The service, dashboard and support are reliable, efficient and responsive
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard is easy to navigate and if there are any issues, support team is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike, but I'm hoping there is a way to remove inactive users in the dashboard, in which I was told there is no option for now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast provisioning of circuit
No fuss. Just highly customisable services and great people to look after us. What more do you want?
What do you like best about the product?
The fact we can get what we need when we need it. You can scale up, down and add or remove services as business demands require.
What do you dislike about the product?
Megaport are available in lots of locations but there are some we would like to use that they are not present in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Megaport is allowing our connectivity to be dynamic in ways that the old telcos did not. They allow us to connect our various locations in a dynamic way that wasn't ever previously possible.
How all service providers should be
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and intuitive user interface to work with
Commissioning/decommissioning a service is only a few clicks
Everything has an API so sky is your limit for integration

The collaboration between Megaport and my team has been awesome. They are always willing to help and even just talk through future plans.

There hasn't been anything that I would say that I dislike, in most cases what may have started out as a dislike ended up being a case for me to learn.
