You should make it much, much simpler to try out. Ideally hack it to where it's a single click to log in as some demo user.

Right now you're asking for 9 pieces of information before you even let people see what / how it looks.

Another thought, you could let people do a one-click deploy to Heroku from a private repo or something to make it less burdensome to roll out. This is sort of a middle step between on premise and full automated.

This is very good advice. I will work on creating a 1-click demo account. I have the developer board up for anyone to see, but having the demo account will transition users using the software faster vs creating an account. I like the heroku deploy idea. I'm actually working on setting up cloud-formation scripts so you can launch w/ Chef + EC2.

Hey Michael,

Thanks again for the advice, I have added a 1-click login to the demo account on the landing page.
