While trying to balance a very tight IT budget for this quarter, I was searching for cost-effective tools and randomly found this great breakdown of VPN Software https://www.reddit.com/r/ChoosingVendors/comments/1t558pv/what_vpn_software_do_companies_actually_trust_in/. We needed to upgrade our security, but the quotes we were getting from enterprise reps were outrageous. Seeing how other companies are negotiating their licenses in this thread was a massive eye-opener for me.
The site is beautifully simple to navigate when you are hunting for specific data points like pricing. People freely share what they are actually paying per user, which gives you incredible leverage when you finally sit down to talk with a sales rep. The clean design means you are not constantly fighting against auto-playing videos while you try to take notes.
Stumbling on this information saved our department thousands of dollars on our annual renewal. It is so helpful to have a transparent space where professionals can compare notes on pricing and features without corporate interference. I cannot recommend browsing these kinds of threads enough if you want to stretch your budget.
