We just got some updated pricing [from E92 plus here in the UK] as part of
an overall server update we're carrying out shortly.
C/S/M for 10 users is £397.40 + £18.00 for the media RRP - therefore about
£41.50 a user to buy
Ongoing maintenance at 30% will be about £119.22 or just short of £12 per
user per year thereafter
That's pretty good when you consider its a multiple-tier anti-virus defence
that is centrally managed [and in our own experience damned good]. Price is
comparable [kind of] to standalone desktop packages but overall package is
obviously greater.
I don't think the Trend pricing is at all out of the ballpark at these rates
but each to their own... :-)
Cheers,
David
