Relative to the enterprise vendor, that is very much on the cheap. I wasn't placing any value on your work, I was referring to the ubiquitous "I know a guy" cost cutting solutions that end up somehow being very, very expensive in the end.
I didn't mean offensive to me, the offensive part is to think as a shareholder or a taxpayer hearing that this kind of problem actually warrants so much money.
I know that people can come up with many perfectly reasonable justifications to spend this much on a service, but to someone like me who grew up in a poor country dealing with recession and austerity policies, it's hard to see these things and not thing "surely we can achieve the same results spending less?"
