The challenge when moving to Cloud is the complexity of custom-built applications. They are made of multiple layers and technologies, tens of thousands of objects, and created over the years by hundreds of developers who are no longer around. There is typically no map of the actual architecture, no intelligence about the insides of the software.
CAST helps quickly assess client application portfolio for PaaS migration and blueprints complex systems for faster and safer modernization and re-factoring to AWS.

What do you like best about the product?
In CAST Highlight i like the Scores which are displayed on the home page like it depicts the overall Software Health,Cloud Maturity, Open source Risk Control and the best part of CAST Highlight is the Green Impact of the Applications which are there in the user account.The Application user can easily track the Voilations and roadblocks in thier code to improve the software health core, it would be very useful to user to track them and aslo we can also check robustness and elegance and software egligity of an particular application or with all applications too.One more best Feature i liked in CAST Highlight was the Technical Debt it shows how many person perday is required to improve the score of an application , so it is the best option for the application owner to save their time and increase the score and quality of the code. "THE CAST HIGHLIGHT TOOL IS THE CONTROL TOWER OF THE ALL APPLICATIONS." Cast Highlight also provides the CAST Highlight code reader so that we can run the code scan locally in our machine and also very good custommer support . I am using this CAST higlight frequently in work to find score of Application.It is a usery friendly interface, it is easy to use and implement.Cast Highlight is very useful tool which works very well in all comapatable machines and also making it easy to analyze abd understandthe Software Scores of an application.It also provide CLI Version of CAST Highlight so that we can run the codelocally in our machine.

Actually there are no downsides of the CAST Highlight, I want to inform that there is an small issue in login page it's not an big issue but some some times it would take long time to login in to the account, rest of that i like the Tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The CAST Highlight solves the major issues like identifying the road blocks that are available in code are stopping from moving to the cloud.It also helps the Appication owner to monitor thier code health and quality of the code and also the Risk control of the code in the CAST Highlight Portal.
