I don't think the problem is the $150. It's in fact very cheap $1800/year
for such kind of application (provided it is a complete, well-done,
dependable and stable system).
Agreed.
I think the problem is depending on any small company for your business. You
can depend on Oracle, on SAP, on Microsoft and on IBM. But you can't depend
on a small company, or at least I wouldn't do it; have had bad experiences
with that in the past.
Well, Enron and Worldcom sure looked like big, successful business until
they were not. This "big business is more stable" is just an illusion -
a false sense of security.
I asked them if they would provide source code (under any kind of NDA and
non-redistributable license they choosed), so that I would have options if
they ran out of business (I hope they don't, but who knows...) or I wanted
to modify the application, correct an error or add a custom feature.
They said they wouldn't, so I said "no thanks". That business model works
for Microsoft, Adobe, SAP and these kind of companies, but a small company
can't ask their customers to trust blindly on their ability to stay there.
I don't think source code is a big issue. The biggest issue is "will the
data be in an open format so I can switch to another product if theirs
go bust".
