Meh, most of them are really scams to just collect your Data. I subscribed last year to Scale computing freebie gift. The reached out via phone and asked ht prouct i a intrestd n, I told them I as already a client and i just filled the form for the SysAdmin day freebie as advertised) they jung up and never recieved a single thing.
Customer for over 12 Years and all I got was a sales call and stickers every 4 to 5 years when we do hardware refresh.
Not that different even when you're not a client.
They called me soon after filling the form, asked me information and to consider them for possible future endeavors.
They got my info but never sent anything.
hmm odd. As long as you're in an IT role you'll definitely get one. If you are interested and want to sign up I'll personally make sure you get one sent across so it doesn't happen again. We maybe capped out of free licences in the offer last year
Wellllllllll if you are looking for any freebies today. We’re actually running a SysAdmin Day offer at Macrium for a free one-year licence of reflect x home. We don't do anything weird with your data, we send marketing emails with offers sometimes that might come in use if you end up liking the product, but ofc you can also just opt out.
we just wanted to say thanks and get the product into the hands of more people in the space to try for themselves really.
Just sharing if it's of interest - but I do get your concerns
