The best way to get answers is to contact us. However, we know that before you start a conversation you might want to have some general information about what to expect, licensing, requirements, and more. Below is a list of common questions customers often have prior to contacting us.

How do you License your product?

We generally count the number of databases or instances we work against. We DON’T count CPUs, volumes of data, network traffic, etc. For exact information and quotes, please contact us.

What are the product requirements?

The products are extremely efficient in CPU usage, disk footprint, memory usage, and network bandwidth. Generally speaking, low-end PC hardware or virtual machines are sufficient in most cases. However, sizing depends significantly on how you intend to use the products. Please contact us to help you determine the correct sizing for your environment.

What else do I need to buy or install?

Nothing. The products are completely self-contained and include everything required for normal operations. To run the products you will need to have a supported operating system installed. On Windows, we might also require the .NET framework to be installed. To connect to databases remotely we will require database drivers (which we can also provide).

What services would I need to get up and running, and how quickly can you do it?

In most cases, no additional services are required, and we can get you installed, configured, with a few reports and alerts generating in a couple of hours. However, we often recommend deployments to be better planned and controlled. It all depends on your needs. We can move as fast or as slow as the situation warrants.

How can I get more detailed product information?

Our experience has shown that customers are most successful in understanding the product and performing successful POCs if they attend a 1-hour demo of the product. While the products are easy to use, they have a lot of functionality. A one-on-one demo would give you an overall understanding of the product, and it will allow us to understand your needs and guide you to the features that are most relevant to you.

How can I evaluate your product?

Contact us for a free trial version. We recommend that prior to the evaluation, you attend a 1-hour one-on-one discovery call and demo to improve your chances of a successful POC.

What should I expect after I contact you?

One of our product experts will contact you within one business day to perform a short discovery call to understand your needs, your drivers, and what your environment is. If we believe we can help you, we will explain how and suggest scheduling a 1-hour web demo to show you the relevant solution.

How can I schedule a demo?

Please go to the contact page, select a demo request, and suggest two time slots of scheduling the demo. We are located in California which is in the Pacific timezone.

How can I get a price quote?

Please go to the contact page, select a price quote, and fill the required information. If you are not be familiar with our solution portfolio, a discovery call might help determine what your needs are and provide you with a relevant quote.
