      I've tested out Comodo One, it's nice but I would never purchase it, their sales people are pushy. I've told them three time I'm not interested and to not call me and I still get at least one call a day.

      How have you not blocked them in the PBX yet, or are they using random numbers?

      Someone else manages the PBX.

          That seemed like the most promising one too. Sucks

            Eh? I just press a button or ignore the call. I'm half tempted to have them turn off voicemail but I know I'd catch hell from the users who do call me (even though I've expressed that they shouldn't).

              The best way to deal with salespeople is to talk about football or the weather or your wife. Eventually you waste so much of their time they stop.

                It also wastes too much of my time. We have some vendors that try the whole small talk bullshit. The moment they start asking those BS questions I ask them to get to the point.

                  yeah - I'm the same - I always thing they are trying to pull a fast one. I'm like - dude, you are not my friend. Please just get me what I'm asking for.

                    Yep, that's the whole point. I'm not going to have drinks with you even if I drank. I don't care about your kids and you don't care about mine. I'm not going to buy your product because you're my friend, that's not how this works.

                      Oh, I know they aren't my friends. No one can out talk me in this type of scenario. My boss and all of my co-workers (back when I was answering calls) used get such a kick out of it. I'm obviously working the entire time I'm on the phone. You don't really need to be all there to small talk. It's like mailing money saving coupons to a company you hate. I'm going to take all of the junk mail I receive and mail them to you.

                        You don't. Talking on the phone for me is incredibly disruptive. Not only do I have a silly amount of social anxiety when answering the phone but then I have to pay attention to what they are saying or else I'll just tune it out and ignore it.

                            Atera is a decent solution. I do not use it much for RMM, just a little.

                            Costs $70/month per tech.

                            As I don't use it for tech based things, I only pay for a single tech and get the alerts and automation bits for a great price.

                            Install updates and force a reboot every monday morning.

                            run a powershell script (choco upgrade all -y) every day at 2am.

                              Yeah, I found I can't multitask during conference calls, otherwise I simply end up ignoring the call.

                                Just got another call from Comodo from an Unknown Number. Same rep, answered (because I'm stupid) and asked him to take my email and phone number off the list and they we won't be considering any Comodo products in the future. I like Comodo as a company but man that's some bad salesmanship.

                                  We had the same experience. Product was okay, but the company was impossible.
