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
Hetzner ARM (Ampere)
Pros
- + Cheapest way to buy Hetzner compute per core
- + Real server silicon — Ampere Altra (Neoverse-N1), ECC RAM, NVMe
- + Hourly billing with monthly cap, 20TB included traffic, free IPv6
- + Free automated DDoS protection and the full Hetzner Cloud API/platform
- + Mature arm64 software ecosystem covers most open-source stacks
Cons
- - x86 and Arm are separate worlds — no rescale, backup or snapshot crossover
- - Cost-Optimized placement means limited stock and EU-only locations for CAX
- - Launch-era pricing is gone; entry cost has risen
- - Shared vCPUs and modest single-core speed
- - Backups and snapshots cost extra; unmanaged servers
