this is impossible to counter as there is no data in this
argument. The managers are saying that they're not going to
use technical considerations in the decision, but
unmeasurable fear. If you accept this as the basis for a
discussion, then you'll loose. I work in this sort of
environment and have lost every time I'm afraid and have had
to deal with crap software from vendors. The managers are
insulated from the folly of their decisions and the results
(not having to deal with or see any problems) have justified
their decisions.
The approach I would take is to present the number of
machines/packets you've processed and tell them the problems
(time lost) you've had. Ask them for numbers from actual
installations of the proprosed software/hardware (not the
marketing from the vendor).
