It offers excellent value and its pricing is straightforward, making it easy to acquire, set up, and use. While there are some areas where it could improve, such as GUI and collaboration features, the product's overall cost-effectiveness stands out.

The on-prem licensing is very good. It's a perpetual license and I would advise others to purchase that license. That way, you don't have to pay yearly. There are modules that you have to purchase, such as the ARM database module, and the security module, depending on what you need. Those modules increase the perpetual license's cost. There is also support which comes at an additional cost. If you purchase the perpetual license, that means you own that version, and if you want support or if you want to be able to update it, then you have to buy the premium support package, and there are a couple of tiers.

Globalscape is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The cost is worth the value of the product. What you're getting is a good, stable solution that does a lot. We don't run the basic version, we run the full enterprise version of the software that has all the bells and whistles. It has all the features that we need and the pricing is fair, given what offers. I think it's a pretty good deal. We could go with something cheaper, but then we might not get all the updates that we need or all the additional stuff that they're constantly innovating into the product. That's a lot of value added. The analogy would be if Windows stayed with Windows NT, for instance. That would not be good. Windows keeps on moving, progressing, and making things better, and so does Globalscape. Globalscape looks at what customers need and, based on that, they keep on adding features and functions that are useful and that make our jobs a lot easier and provide a lot more automation.
It is a very good product in terms of purchase. It didn't cost that much, even with the way we had scaled and architecturally put things in place. It is definitely comparable to other products.
It is much more competitively priced. Axway is probably three or four times more expensive than Globalscape. I like the server-based license. It's easier to manage than a seat license, which our previous product Axway had. Axway's license model is to charge by the account while Globalscape's model is by the server. It is much simpler and much easier when audit time comes.
