Most common complaint
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
No prices, though it does name three deployment models including fully managed on-premise
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs
“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.
What to ask on the demo
One question per platform, drawn from what actually goes wrong with it — not a generic checklist. Vendors run the demo; this hands the agenda back to you.
ResourceSpace
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Pixelboxx
No prices, though it does name three deployment models including fully managed on-premise — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
IMatch
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
