It's not that much cheaper. $1,935.50 for a one year fixed or named license, then $2,709.70 per architecture. Let's say you need the typical four for x86 and ARM, that's over $12k per seat. A lot of companies would balk at that.
- tptacek 4y agoI've long since lost track of the pricing here, but the per-arch stuff is for the decompiler, right?
- pseudo0 4y agoYeah, that's for the decompiler. And I just saw your edit and agree that they are in a tricky spot. Their product is hyper-specialized and they deserve to get paid for the craft and expertise that they have put into their product, but at the same time they have been a significant barrier to entry for people getting into SRE due to the prohibitive cost. Their new offering of a limited license for $365 a year is a step in the right direction, but they only took that step after competition forced their hand. Edit: Ironically the NSA is the entity commoditizing their complement here, getting an in-house SRE tool and making it easier to hire students out of college with skills they want.
- tptacek 4y agoSure! Don't get me wrong: they an extremely off-putting company. I just think I get where they're coming from.
- ev1 4y agoCan you even get the limited licence? It feels like they are comically hostile, ask for a huge amount of really unnecessary things, "KYC procedures", for a $1/day commodity software
