Hey Sasha :) Price should be justified by value to the customer, not overhead costs of the company. Even though your value/benefits are listed on the site, this is a good opportunity to reiterate them.

It’s an intersection of those two things. Hawks can profitably prey on squirrels, while lions could not.

There’s room in the security market for $10/mo/user products and room for <whatever it is that Teleport charges>. If not, they’ll find out in an expensive and painful fashion…

Given that they have paying customers, their price is justified to at least those customers.

gk1 thanks, this is a valid point!

Teleport solves many quite important problems four our enterprise customers' infrastructure. Our users use Teleport to replace secrets and static keys with short lived certificates, manage certificate authorities, add audit and compliance controls for access to critical data, consolidate access for SSH, Kubernetes, Databases and Desktops.

You have no idea how much money you are leaving on the table because of your insane pricing strategy. Your expenses do not scale with a customer's use. Amateur mistake.

I don’t follow this comment. The last time I engaged with Teleport’s sales team they somewhere between $40-$80/host (server, VPS, etc). That seems like it would definitely scale with use.

Edit: per year. And there was a minimum order quantity.
