DMS Advanced cost and time comparison
A practical comparison of manual updates and Proficloud.io DMS options, showing how update effort, costs, and time savings change as device numbers grow.
This calculation shows how time effort and costs for updates change depending on whether updates are performed manually or via Proficloud.io with the DMS Basic add-on or the DMS Advanced add-on. The results update immediately when the inputs are changed.
Manual updates (for example via VPN) or updates via Proficloud.io are typically used when systems are distributed and not located within the same local network.
