What do you like best about the product?
I took the CAST Certification and had a good experience with it. It helped me to understand how the code quality and software health can be checked which is very new to me. The hands on experience is an add on for this. I recommend t everyone who wants to know more about software health and code quality. I think I can now work on it well but will definitely reach to the team if I need any sort of help
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the access is taking time also there is no quick support happening
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to understand the health and risks of applications in the portfolio. Also it is easy to see which apps need attention and which ones

What do you like best about the product?
I had no idea that portfolio assessments could be carried out so easily. The point I felt was excellent is that results are output from various perspectives, such as ease of operation and analysis speed. I was able to easily grasp the man-hours and risks involved in modernization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just one thing. My customer want to see the report in Japanese. Some page on CAST Hightlight site is not Japanese on my browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional Japanese companies still have many old systems and applications. It shows how to modernize old systems that have technical debts.
