@aaron-studer Don't you use Sophos at work?
They usually allow you to install AV for home use as long as you have a valid license at work. We have licenses for 250 users, so we are allowed to register 250 for home use at zero charge as well.
That's pretty nice.
We have the choice of using their Internet Server or our Sophos server. If you have employees that have access to secure data at home, its a really nice feature. We can make sure they stay up to date.

@IRJ yep we do - there's discounts for non-profits, SpiceHeads, and depending on the size of the purchase there's some room there too. Let me know if you want to talk to a sales person and get a quote.
We have quite a few members. Let me find out a ball park number and maybe I can talk ball park price with a sales guy. I dont want to waste alot of their time or mine if its way out of our price range.

What about MangoLassi discounts?
-
@IRJ sounds good - just let me know and I can get you more info.
-
@scottalanmiller I think that everyone one here is a SpiceHead no? We'll have to call it the SpiceHead/MangoLassi discount
-
So I think I am going to end up going with Vipre.....
I can't seem to beat 10 Computers / $49.99

@Aaron-Studer you could see if our sales guys will price match
-
@Nic If they would, I would take it.
-
@Nic Do you guys have live chat? Talking on the phone is sooooooo last year.
-
@Aaron-Studer doesn't look like it, sorry
They probably wouldn't have a sales convo that way anyway (nor would anyone, since they'd probably not want to put negotiations down in writing). -
@nic @aaron-studer you guys can live chat right here!
-
@scottalanmiller My guess is that @nic can't do pricing
-
@richard probably can.

I know a lot of companies try to be like that, but I can tell you if I purchased a package I would never hesitate to post the pricing. If you are going to have flexible pricing, you need to man up and accept that people will tell people about it. Not having negotiations in writing is silly as you will have to invoice me. I will have it in writing in the end.
-
@JaredBusch I agree, and we do have open pricing on our website. But there is also an opportunity for deals and discounts, depending on the size and strategic importance of the deal. So if you're in a position to negotiate for a better deal there is that opportunity, but that is usually predicated on not disclosing the terms. By the time the negotiations reach the "in writing" stage there are usually clauses about not disclosing the info. Similar to negotiating for salary - do you go out and tell the whole world how much you make?

I do not exactly hide it, no. In fact I started a thread on it on that other site.
-
Employees are often forced to reveal what they make. It's often enough that any modesty around that tends to wear off.

If anyone is curious after all of this, my hourly salary, prior to paying taxes, insurance, etc. happens to be The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

Well, you might reveal it to a recruiter, but you don't discuss it at cocktail parties or with coworkers (for the most part). Anyway, not defending the practice, just acknowledging that's the way the world works
-
In banking you'd be surprised. What else is there for cocktail parties?
