I do not remember the cost, but I did save time because I had a last-minute assignment. It was very easy and I could complete it on time. It was a good investment.

The experience with Exterro's pricing, setup costs, and licensing is very bad because it is a very expensive tool. Other tools on the market do the same things but are much more affordable.

Pricing can be one of the challenging aspects of Exterro, particularly for educational institutions. The full FTK license comes at a significant cost, which sometimes can be prohibitive for smaller institutions or individual students looking to practice outside of class. That actually adds an extra layer of complexity, especially when managing multiple machines in a lab environment. FTK Imager is available for free, which is a real positive. It allows students to get started with evidence acquisition without any cost barrier, which is something that students really appreciate because they can even use FTK Imager in their own time. A dedicated academic licensing tier with reduced pricing would make Exterro much more accessible to the educational community and help grow the next generation of digital forensic examiners.
We don't have that many licenses. But I'm assuming if we need to grow, that wouldn't be a problem. Can't really say much on the pricing, but the licensing part seems pretty straightforward because we might have more groups coming on and we'll be able to add those licenses.
