After the large pricing increases, the dumping of free apps, the lack of a facility to deploy to local (e.g. asia-pacific) regions without a "private space", and the astronomical prices for these private spaces, plus the complete lack of innovation, it's time for me to move on and learn a new vendor's offerings. Truly the last straw. Once a successful startup is purchased by one of these legacy giants, it really is the forbidding end of the invention that made the startup a winner to begin with.
