I’ve used microsofts hosted solution for my company’s CRM. It worked ok but of course required internet access to see my data.
What wasn’t ok was their billing practices. Four months in a row they billed me 10 times what I owed. Kind of a shock to suddenly be $2,500 short in the account. By the 4th month they got it down to only taking 10 days to return my money.
They didn’t see the issue since they always corrected it, even if it took up to two months. Yes they said that.
When you decide the cancel you will end up paying, even if you are at the end of the term. Cancel early and you pay significant fees. Oh and they take the payment but won’t even tell you how much you owe.
So now they want me to give them this control over my PC? Time for linux.
Which brings up a good question: how will they charge for this operating system, by the CPU cycle?
