Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "A three-year agreement is better than a one-year rolling 12-month agreement from a price point of view. I'd recommend looking at a three-year deal because you can't stand up a catalog and produce value in 12 months."
  • "The solution is a little expensive."
  • "The platform is moderately expensive compared to the other competitors in the market."
