There are significant advantages to not being restricted to 'fitting' your usage requirements to a vendors licensing bundles, or clip levels. itControl Solutions is also reviewing our complete product offering and will be launching extensions to the current product porfolio that will provide flexibility, ease of deployment, and the opportunity to closely align products purchased with size of requirement. The key to any site license type program, or pay per user model is in the ease of auditing, so as to insure license compliance, and simplify tracking, reporting and payment of license and/or maintenance fees.

They have a far superior solution but we need to grow our biz a little at a time. Nit going to overpay hoping to grow into licenses. I wish I had known buy now I have to figure out how to pull out if my current system affordably. I would have purchased PacketTrap had it not been the pricing model.
