A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The description of the demo is very specific and oddly exactly what I experienced about a month ago when my company was looking for a new Application Lifecycle Management tool. It's uncanny.

What I hate the most is that in order to know the pricing I have to watch a 2 hours demo, and at that point I already know that it's unaffordable because they're starting to do calculations "this is how much you're going to save".

Saw a 100% offline quoting tool that, they wanted $1000 per month because "you and your team will save 200 hours per month so this tool pays back in less than 2 weeks"

  1. It's offline
  2. We have to pay for the server
  3. It requires a month of training and data fitting (at our expense)
  4. Doesn't require any additional update and once set can be left like that for decades

Why the hell it's a subscription????
