| Sep 19, 2013 at 3:53 | comment | added | corsiKa♦ | I've also seen the corporate sentiment about being afraid of free software. Lack of support is a major issue, because your in house developers cost a lot of money to be spending time on silly things. On the other hand, I know plenty of paid applications with support contracts that aren't nearly as useful as, oh I don't know, asking on Stack Exchange instead. A free program with a user-run community is just as good, if not better, than paid support. | |

It's very nice, but spend time with the reporting because the default HTML one is not Business User friendly. I do my own summary of links using PowerShell to link the reports together for easy readability | |

| Sep 16, 2013 at 18:28 | comment | added | Joe Strazzere | @Duke03 - You are talking about tools to assist testing, right? My company also dislikes open source when used in Production systems. But they let us choose whatever we wish for test tools. | |
| Sep 16, 2013 at 18:26 | comment | added | ZacNespral21 | Right I realized that, but still the company recognizes anything to be free as a potential danger to our system. | |
| Sep 16, 2013 at 18:24 | comment | added | Joe Strazzere | @Duke03 - Perfect, because Xenu isn't open source! See: home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html#FAQ | |
| Sep 16, 2013 at 18:22 | comment | added | ZacNespral21 | This looks perfect for what we need, but the company doesn't like using free open source programs. Ive sent it up the ladder anyways just in case. Thanks for the comment. | |
