Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

NetBase Quid

  • Nothing about pricing is published and the review sites carry no plan data either, so you cannot size a budget without entering a sales process, and reported costs put it out of reach of small and mid-sized teams
  • The two halves of the platform came from separate companies and still feel like separate products, which means the workflow from a social finding to a market-map investigation involves more manual bridging than the marketing implies
  • The network visualisations are compelling in a demo and demanding in practice; teams without an analyst who understands clustering tend to produce pretty maps they cannot defend in a meeting
  • Historical social data beyond the contracted window is typically an additional cost, so a retrospective study you did not scope at signing turns into a change order
  • The rebrand from NetBase Quid to Quid has left documentation, support material and third-party integration listings under a mixture of names, which makes finding accurate current information about the product harder than it should be

Octopus Deploy

  • Free tier caps at 10 projects, 10 tenants, 10 machines, 10 users, 5 concurrent tasks and 1 space
  • Annual billing is the only option for both Octopus Cloud and Octopus Server; there is no monthly plan
  • Professional cloud tier is $4,330 per year and Enterprise cloud is $24,600 per year, with tenants and machines sold as add-ons beyond the free allotment
