CAST Highlight

What do you like best?

The ability to assess my client's entire application portfolio of custom software as well as COTS, side by side in one platform, really made our cloud migration smooth.

With CAST Highlight we were able to identify the low-hanging-fruit for cloud native transformation within the Tidal Migrations platform, and then dig deeper into specific areas of the codebases where we would need to focus on to be successful.

What do you dislike?

It didn't come in blue, and I like blue. There's really nothing negative about this solution as it's really the only solution to this otherwise intractable problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Do a free trial and show a screenshot to your engineering manager or cloud migration lead. They'll get it right away, and be shocked that this existed 9 times out of 10.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

CAST Highlight lets us use data to make decisions.

Previously, we would spend hours and weeks working with clients in meetings and workshops to identify which applications to take to cloud, and how. Now we are able to apply software analysis to the problem, distilling our application portfolio down to a series of easy to understand software engineering metrics that are difficult to challenge.

This takes all the emotion out of the cloud journey and LETS YOU GET ON WITH IT.
