It is very hard to convince management to go with a new system if you can't even generate a basic daily report to show what is achievable.
Yes, I know I could go with a full trial for 30 days, but my management takes longer than that to make decisions.
I am using the essential version at the moment because it is cheaper than paying for a contractor to change the cicso configuration every time we want to test. I will try by justifying the cost of the contractor and being able to do the configs ourselves.
