There's a reason a | lot of data tooling companies use a freemium model -- users want | to feel the system before investing in it, maybe only reaching | out when they're ready to load test. | StreamBright wrote: | Interesting product. I am wondering how does this fit into | typical workflows. | IanCal wrote: | Sounds interesting, but I was a little annoyed by the | "transparent pricing, no need to talk to us" then no pricing and | a form to fill in instead. | | What sort of pricing is this targeting? ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-08-13 23:00 UTC)
