Ideally you can charge clients extra for automated software updates and make a nice profit using Ninite Pro. Or the servers and bandwidth it takes to coordinate installing 10 apps per second. The installer itself is actually deployed more like a website than an app and it gets the latest installation code each time it runs because we improve it so often.Īnd that's not even covering what we do for tech support. We don't have releases or version numbers on Ninite because we're improving it literally all the time. We're also consistently adding new major features to the Ninite application itself like the remote mode and active directory support. We track down odd edge cases and rare errors and fix Ninite to handle them (one example, there are a handful of fixes around our Java automation that make us a more reliable way to update it than just going to Oracle).
We're pushing multiple updates and tweaks to applications every day. Ninite takes a ton of full-time effort to keep running.
We're doing too good a job making this look easy! I'm actually really proud of that though, the most simple solutions hide their complexity completely. "there's nothing that you guys are providing on a on-going basis that costs" I don't think I have a single client that even HAS an IT budget, we need to fight for every single penny we want/need them to spend.Īll that said, this is an AMAZING thing you're doing and a genius promotional tool too ) I only wish more IT industry vendors would be like this. *For the haters out there, $20 - $100 per month for a large or very profitable company is peanuts I understand that, but not all of us have 6 or 7 figure IT budgets. If using your app every day has direct costs to your company I can see the need, but I don't see that being the case here. Love your app guys, seriously love it, but the current trend of subscription licensing for the product itself (aside from support/updates) just irritates me. Have you thought about site licensing with a one-time fee? I assume that aside from updates (which a support subscription would cover), there's nothing that you guys are providing on a on-going basis that costs.īy that I mean, installers are downloaded directly from their sources and not from your machines, so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue. As an MSP, ANY recurring fees is a very very very tough sell to my clients. I'd love to give ninite pro a try, but I just can't get past the subscription model you are using.
