VERDICT

Should I use Caylent?

AWS Premier consulting partner for cloud migration, modernization, security, and GenAI builds. - caylent.com

Depends. Buy if you're a mid-market or larger team with real AWS workloads and budget for professional services. Skip if you're small, multi-cloud, or want published productized pricing.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~30 public sources; company background is solid but customer-review evidence is very thin.
