Cancelling my subscription: feedback on the home-user value proposition

[annoniempjuh]

multi-core support isn't in the Home subscription... and its probably not going to be in the SOHO tier also...
upgrade to business up to 100 devices (where home has 200...) is also going to be $1,361.00 /year
that is to much for me as a small home user, and for only Multi-core support.
I also find the gap between the home and other tiers to big...

We mostly do not need any of the SASE features

I'll disagree, lab is where you want to fool with these features the most, then decide what and how much to put into production.

I'll have to look into the SASE starter for my lab, just getting a new to me hardware set up and would really like to look into options for production going forward.

To tell the truth:
An inspection service these days without spreading to multi threads and multi core is useless.

We have at home fibre connections to the internet with speeds up to 1 Gbps symmetric (300 Mbps, 600 Mbps, 1 Gbps).
At home, as private customer, no special business product and not expensive.

If it is planned
- to profit from a free community for the development
- to benefit from the reputation the product is known in a wider community
- to bind private users free at no cost to a product for a gain in business awareness
it is mandatory that a product not only thinks on the own side of their business plan.

Look at Sophos they disabled f.e. the memory limit of 6 GB memory to unlimited memory usage for their home user community. Why ? Because it is needed.

My opinion on this zenarmor business case:
Open multi core for free to the community.
Otherwise it took not much time and the community users go away like in the pfsense community.

If you want the benefit of a wide testing community you can not make a business with them and demand money. It is the real deal to give the needs back to the community. They are part of your success with the product. So you should be able to reinvest in the community needs.

These words should help to find a solution that is a real win win situation and a healthy basic for the upcoming future of zenarmor.

Look at Sophos they integrate the community on the feature usage completely and do not castrate the community edition to a small piece of their product.
