My biggest impression with using this service is that it's hard to
quantify just how valuable it is. You almost cannot put a price on
the peace of mind you have from the burden of so much work being
shifted to a team of experts, and the knowledge of how safe your
data is in those same hands. I used to lose a lot of sleep at night
about the lack of coverage we had, now I only lose sleep about the
rest of the operations
