Vendr community insights for Twilio Segment

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"After having an oversized scope last year, the team was able to bring this to light and secure Net 60 payment terms and a right sized scope. We were then able to negotiate stronger commercials in exchange for the Net 60 payment terms, agreeing to Net 30 terms. Original offer of $30,000 for the overly large scope, reduced to half the API calls of 75M at $22,850, negotiated to final price of $20,400."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were decreasing our licenses upon renewal. Tableau has implemented a standard 9% price increase across the board on all renewals. They offered a Multi-Year Agreement to lock in current pricing with a 6% increase for 2 years and 4% for 3 years, billed on an annual basis. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
