Anyone else hear echoes of Cisco Meraki? I can see that model working in commercial environments where the network itself is often managed by a third-party. But for home users, it's paying a premium for nothing of value.
- hedora 8y agoIn fairness, plume discounts the hardware with a subscription, so the pricing is fairly competitive. However, I cannot see bothering with a subscription when the competition is at $85/access point and works without an account.
- brentjanderson 8y agoCisco Meraki came to mind for me as well, and the commercial benefits of security patching, a built-in Snort/Anti-Virus/IPS subscription, overnight shipping for replacement gear when we had a failure, etc. all add up to being a good subscription buy. I agree that home users would be foolish to go this route. Subscriptions make sense when the cumulative value of the service offered increases over time. Where is the accumulation of value in Plume's offering?
