A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why does Google charge more to enterprise users and why do they bother to pay for that?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Enterprises usually need/want additional features, customizations or guarantees, like for example:

  • integration of a Single Sign-On system
  • on-premise hosting
  • Service-Level Agreement for the availability of the service

Businesses pay for software with support

What the fuck does Google know about support? They've never supported anything.

Not the stuff us plebs use for free, businesses tend to have support contracts

Enterprise can afford more than individuals and all businesses always find a way to make enterprise customers pay more.

For example when you buy a plane ticket, it's much cheaper if you have a weekend between your onward and outward trip. Because business travelers will travel during the week.
