What you'll hear
“The demo was good, but what would running it involve?”
What this means for you
Test representative cases and examine data handling, cost and exit arrangements.
Can you control it?
Sometimes
Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.
Common questions
- Can a good demonstration hide everyday difficulties?
- Yes. A carefully chosen example may not reveal how the service handles your files, mistakes or busy periods.
- Why do exit arrangements matter?
- Changing providers can be difficult if your information or work cannot be moved easily.
- Is the subscription price the whole cost?
- No. Setup, staff time, checking, support and additional usage can add to the cost.
