Pros / Cons
  • We use a local cloud provider that has always worked for us using Drake without issues until trying to install Drake 25.
  • It keeps crashing if we are able to get in, and now, it won't let us open it at all.

  • The cost is minimal and it gets the job done, but it could definitely be better.
  • My guess is that the online version is less buggy, but I can't tolerate the interface.
