Happy user here. Sandstorm works amazingly well.

Especially enjoy

- the usability of Sandstorm, -it just works.

- extensibility - you can adapt other apps, open source or commercial, to run on sandstorm. As far as I'm aware you can even upload them to the hosted version.

- security seems to be taken good care of by pragmatic and experienced people.

- the fact that I can pay a small amount monthly for it depending on my storage and computing needs, making sure incentives are aligned (although last time I checked I think Sandstorm hadn't even started the billing machine I think.)

Furthermore it seems to be completely, real, free software, -I ran the OS version at a maching at home for months before oasis became available to me, and I haven't noticed any juicy parts missing or filed under "Enterprise only". The only difference between the versions seems to be the storage and compute resources available. (OK, the billing system doesn't seem to be in the Open Source version, but that is OK to me. : )
