TSplus
Pros
- + Perpetual licensing from $200 one-time (3 users) — no per-user subscription, first year of updates and support included
- + Deploys in under 30 minutes on existing Windows hardware; no RDS CALs, no Storefront/GPO infrastructure
- + HTML5 web portal plus any RDP-compatible client; app publishing and full desktops, 3-50+ concurrent sessions per server
- + Independent, bootstrapped French vendor with a 20-year track record and strong review aggregates (G2 4.8, Trustpilot 4.7)
- + Genuine five-year cost advantage for stable SMB user counts versus per-user SaaS competitors
Cons
- - Security essentials (2FA, brute-force/ransomware defense, geo-blocking) are paid add-ons on an internet-facing product
- - Support and updates renew at roughly 21% of license price per year after the first year
- - Windows-server-only: no Linux component, no cross-platform management, brings your own Windows license
- - Storefront price drift ($180/$200/€170 for the same entry product) complicates quote comparison
- - Vendor TCO and customer-count claims (500,000+ companies, 10x lower TCO) are unverifiable marketing
BuyVM
Pros
- + Cheapest serious block storage we track: $1.25/256 GB, $5/TB per month, hot-migratable slabs
- + Unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth on every slice — no egress metering to model
- + Cheap, credible DDoS filtering at $3/month per IP (3.5+ Tbps pooled, Path.net-backed)
- + Real KVM with custom ISOs, full disk encryption, and a free DirectAdmin license
- + 16-year track record with a support reputation that outclasses the price point
Cons
- - Stock shortages on popular slices and locations are routine; no elastic scaling
- - Self-managed only — no managed tier, no object storage product, no autoscaling API
- - Only three locations (Las Vegas, New York, Luxembourg); no Asia-Pacific presence
- - Modest 99.9% SLA with application-layer floods excluded; credits handled via TOS
- - No downgrades, and nightly backups cost extra (10% of base price)
