Well I really hope there is someone from astaro monitoring this board. You have alienated many of your customers and potential customers. I must admit I have not paid for Astaro, I am a home user. I have though recommended the product to everyone I know and tested the producted for you. I think it is one of the best firewall products avaibable. However several things you have done today to upset your users.
1. Change the licenses without prior notice.
2. Vague and inconsistent decriptions of the different licenses and PRICING.
3. Lack of flexibility in the packages
It almost appears that your product has recently went from being run by the developers to being run by the Marketing dept. If this is true that is truly sad, and you have lost me as a customer. I understand in order to stay in Businness you need to sell products. Many home users out there I think would be glad to pay a reasonable fee to use the product if it does what they need it to do. However remember these home users do not have the pockets to spend huge amounts of money, but do tend to provide you with free advertisment and testing. I know your target aduience is not the home user, however your home users are mostly composed of Geeks who work in the IT field and many of which recommened the product to their customers. I will not recommend a product I am not familiar with.
If anyone else has any other complaints about ASL's recent events please add them to this thread.
