self hosted will come back some day after everyone realizes that paying $1.99/mo doesn't let you disconnect costs from growth as you scale. Or at least I hope.

- PinguTS 5y agoIt's 5 bucks here and 5 bucks there per employee. Then its Microsoft 360, Adobe Connect, and so on. At the end of the month it sums up to a complete employee pay check in addition to the employee pay check.

Sure, there are some large companies that the total cost of subscription services would add up to the equivalent of 1 more employees paycheck but is that really so crazy? For what they get out of it in terms of not having to pay multiple IT people it seems like a pretty decent deal. Someone has to maintain/update/support/etc the tools, it's not free.

- Melatonic 5y agoJust outsourcing to google or microsoft doesn't make you zero trust at all - in fact even Google itself is not fully zero trust.
