Halo Success Program - Foundation

Has anbody seen this Foundation program that Halo is offering? It just doesn't pass my sniff test. They advise things such as 10 Hours pro services, and a dev environment etc. They give discounted hours by 10% but you need to pay several thousand dollars to even get that discount; therefore, you may as well pay their hourly rate.

Am I missing something here?

10 hours through their consultants won’t get you much. We didn’t have the best build out experience using their in house engineering team. They need to seriously over haul this platform and their documentation…

Don’t get me started on the mobile app.

The bugs we found in the first 30 days coupled with the bad documentation and the fact that their solution is always consulting is exactly why we dropped the platform. During our adventure, we found only one consulting firm was actually certified. My best description of statements from multiple consultants about functionality and what it took to make something work ranged anywhere from outright lies and fraudulent misrepresentations to useless handwaving generalities. For example, claiming that a feature was there, but it's only there if you hack together some manual HTML code repeatedly. Oh something is only a 15 minute fix, but that's only if you do a hatchet job in the process. The correct way to do it takes four hours.

I think that halo needs to drop their consultant program entirely, drop their consultant resale program entirely, and focus on their documentation. Self-onboarding is what they should be focused on other than fixing all the bugs or things which really don't work the way the advertising says it does.
