Great for small companies

I think this is great. The price? A little steep if you ask. Say you have a 10 000 person company. That's 180 * 10000 = 1.8 million dollars a year.

I'm sure some companies are going to cost that out in terms of equipment, tech support, installation... and maybe find it is cheaper to do it in house.

They should drop it down to at least Google's level of 50 dollar a year.

That's 500K a year total for a 10K company. Heck the costs are probably justified just for the IT teams salary ;)
