Your pricing page says this: "We don't plan to offer a hosted version of Tettra in the immediate future. We believe that secure web services are the new standard for business applications and take security seriously." Seriously, NO. It has to work without an internet connection at all. That includes installation, updates, and help pages. People who care about security have air-gapped networks. To update software, we burn it to a DVD and then walk it over to the secure network. I have a hard time understanding how anybody would tolerate their business secrets being on your servers. That is really weird to me. It's also just slow.

  Uh, this is so far outside the norm of every company I’ve ever worked for/heard of that I think they’re safe not worrying about you in their business plan. Unless you’re working with classified data, that is — but those cases have tons of other requirements beyond working air gapped. Now, there are other reasons you would want on-prem other than air gapped networks, but that’s not the discussion we’re having. Edit: oh, this guy is a troll. Just read his other comments. Sigh.

    If it is "so far outside the norm", then that could be why people keep getting hacked and facing clone companies popping up in other countries. Where I work, with hundreds of people, we aren't making this mistake. As for trolling, "Assume good faith." is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html FYI, I'm not trolling, and any appearance of it is due to cultural differences.
