Please don’t put basic features behind enterprise licences.

We are a small start up. We use SAML / SSO. We care about security. We care about privacy.

None of this is “enterprise”.

We stopped using competitors to you because of data privacy issues.

We would happily pay for a self host version, where we control all the data recorded.

These type of tools are extremely useful, and it hurts not having it. But they are just way too much of a privacy issue.

Self hosted and paid - is the future of data privacy.

I would love to see you (and others) off these options, it’s really a game changer and makes the switch easy from any product that is not self hosted and collects our customers data.

So, you want a paid, self-hosted version - not named "enterprise"?

Much as I dislike the gitlab decision to gateway sso - there's no problem paying for and self-hosting it?

Or are you making two arguments - keep features like sso foss - we will happily buy paid self-host version anyway?

What do you think of uxwizz.com ? The only option is self-hosted, because focusing on the hosted version would mean competing directly against the self-hosted one, so making self-hosting harder would drive more revenue, which seems wrong.

That's great feedback; understood. What features would you consider "enterprise" in that case? Right now, nothing is paywalled in our self-hosted version, and we're still very much in the brainstorming phase here.

how companies should make money, if AWS can package it any day and sell as a service?

regarding self hosting, how can contributors make sure that you are self-hosting and paying? If code is open and already in your infra there is no way to enforce anything.

The way we're thinking of addressing this is not including the enterprise features in the output binary when you install highlight.io. This makes it a bit harder to actually build the project with all the enterprise features. It it something that folks can take advantage of, though.
