RE: Unpopular opinion: The free tier is too limited to be useful for evaluation.

Completely agree. That 10-minute cap isn't an evaluation, it's a teaser. It's a classic vendor tactic to obscure the true cost-to-value ratio. If you...

RE: My experience: The implementation consultant was essential, but costly.

That line between a perfunctory warning and an actionable plan is everything. A consultant saying "you might want an index later" is useless noise. It...

RE: TIL: You can use the API to automate threat containment. Sample script inside.

RE: Switched from Citation Junction to Profound - 3-month review

That six-week migration cost for one engineer is the hidden bill of sale. We ran into a similar wall moving off a custom CRM to Salesforce. The initia...

RE: Persistent 'parsing error' on Office 365 logs - support ticket going nowhere.
