About the price of prevx

As always, if you have any reports of FPs which we haven't fixed, please let me know and I'll get them corrected swiftly

 

Indeed I also have no intention to bash you either, trjam.

I know you are very much a "fair weather fan" when it comes to the AV software of the minute and I applaud the dexterity in which you change your avatar and you can freely have your opinions but I think we all request some level of substantiation on them, especially when making harsh comments.

 

I would like to slap you with all the money you spend on security products!

That's a valid point but overall it puts me in a quandary.I really like PrevX and would like to support the developers,however I can't justify spending £18.00 for something that I have no real use of,however if there were a light version for less than the £10 mark I'd probably feel a lot more inclined to pay since I'd like to support the developers.I wonder how many others are of a similar mind to me and the potential revenue for PrevX

 

I purchased lifetime licenses for both MBAM and SAS because they were cheap, lifetime, and I wanted to support the developers. I actually only use the free versions, but have no regrets purchasing the programs. I figure I have used them over the years, installed them on friends and families PCs, so I would kick them a few bucks.

If Prevx had a more functional free version, or different pricing I would recommend it more, and install it on more peoples PCs. But I respect Prevx decisions and I am sure they have spent more time thinking about their pricing and offerings that I have.

 

From a marketing perspective, could always try a basic version (without safeonline) for $19.95.

Worst case scenario, heap of people purchase the product and don't re-sign the following year when prices go back to normal.

Best case scenario, more money for prevx.

 

It amazes me that people think the 3 pc licenses out there are a good deal . They are ONLY if you can use them which most people do not . The companies know they can steal your money easier this way . Ah but I digress . The problem with Prevx is how long will current management be in place ? 2 years ago , their management was top notch . I have seen their customer service be great over the years . However ; when a new management team steps in , yet again , which direction will Prevx go ? I hope they stay on this track but ,.............. to be continued

 

We have no intention of changing management and we're in the process of hiring and training a number of additional support technicians (although I will stay here on Wilders - they can't grab it away from me that easily )

 

That's good to here! You are one of the reasons I tried Prevx 3 in the first place! Do you remember the version of PrevX in 2004 - 2005 the Brownish Green GUI I was running that version also but never tried Prevx 1 or 2!

*gasp* Years of therapy have been undone in trying to suppress those memories Yes, I do... and was always fearful I would prick the finger on my mouse when going near the spikes

 

In all honesty I would like to know where you come by this statement. I have Prevx on a few of my personal computers and it works just as well as any other AV I have used. I'm not here to bash you but don't knock on one product as you surf from product to product on a daily basis.

Prevx in my personal experience has been decent, It gets some of what others miss and the other way around. Right now I have it running side by side any Eset installation to complement the security, I have also had it installed with Avast, Norton, Kaspersky AV and Avira among others. It's the one piece of software I don't have to worry about conflicts eats low resources and helps to catch anything that's missed. No I'm not a fan boy, Don't believe me ask Joe about the rounds I have went with him about Prevx.

As for the price its well worth the extra cash just for the "Support" I can get if needed. The support team and Joe have been quick to answer any of my questions. They have also worked with me if I needed something whether it be on a Corporate platform or a Personal. As a tech's point of view its Nice to get quick responsive and helpful answers instead of the "Reinstall or Its another programs Fault" Answers. It saves my time which en-turn saves my company's time and money.

Threads like this that pop up all over the place on Wilders really ought to be closed by the board admins, IMO.

Whingeing about a vendor's prices is disrespectful - it attempts only to devalue the vendor's wares. It is the vendor that decides on prices, and if the vendor gets it 'wrong' the market will force a change in time.

If you can't afford the vendor's prices, or you're just out to get something for nothing, simply get a life and move on.

It really is not rocket science: evaluate the product, decide if it's suitable for you (at the price it sells) and purchase or go elsewhere.

 

Well said!

 

Well said X2.

Prevx's pricing is well in line with other security software. If you don't like it...try one of the freebies...but remember...you get what you pay for.

 

Well said X3, especially the first line. I refrain from posting a comment to threads like this, just consider the source. Am a well satisfied long time user and do not agree w/repeated bashing of products to others.

 

Yes !

We, the users ("the market"), decide what is a "good" price.
I for one think the price is o.k. for what you get.

Not my experience trafficjam

 

So you guys are telling me if it's more expensive then it's better? So I should be wasting crap loads of money on Norton for example since its more expensive than Avira? Nope sorry buddies, that's what I like about Avira, they price their product competitively which has me at a second year being with thier product and giving them my money. You need to get you heads cleared out and understand money talks and when it's uncomfortably out of fair price range for the consumer then it's sad I have to ignore such a great product, thanks for your time.

 

No. Read, and try to understand...

... but clearly you don't. It's very simple. Really, it is. If you don't like the price, move on, and use a product that suits your budget, or your personal valuation. End of story.

 

This is a support forum, not Let's Make A Deal. Complaining about the price isn't a support issue.
