In the end when free works you can't really compete, but just as Arthur said, as far as enterprise level reliability and performance, its difficult to beat out redgate, they price their products very low compared to the other guys so they are friendly on the pocketbook, which is something my boss likes. In fact as an fyi I bought a ton of licenses recently it costs me less to allow my license for iders diagnostic manager (same # of licenses) to expire and buy redgate backup 6 with sql response. It would have been more expensive to renew idera by a noticeable margin. So cost they really compete, but then I have many sql servers that I manag and I know that can help with price negotiation On 9/11/09, jwcolby <jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com> wrote: > Yep, I would but... > > It is $800 and I pay for all my own stuff.
