In this case, it’s a different team reaching out to me for advice.
So zero, and they potentially would have used Anubis, but given the URL and mascot, I doubt it.
There is a corporate friendly way to handle this discussion. Here, I’ll even write it for you:
“Hi [Team],
Thanks for reaching out again about this issue.
I have made two previous attempts to provide guidance on this matter, but my recommendation was dismissed without appropriate consideration due to first-impression aesthetics of a product that is provided for free by a small team of dedicated nerds.
I attempted to explain that a corporate-friendly paid version exists but never got that far in our conversation due to your team’s outright dismissal of the product I know to be both effective and appropriate for your use case.
Due to these circumstances, and your team’s apparent priorities, I recommend you pursue an expensive contract with CloudFlare.
If you change your mind and would like to revisit this matter, I’m happy to set up a meeting to present the details.
See here’s the thing - the mascot and URL are serving their purpose to deter the software author’s outsiders. They don’t want your business, it is a social signal being sent and the reception from your coworker? - did it’s job.
It is WILD that someone from another team asks for help and replies with “lol” to simias your response. You need to corrext that behaviour or they will treat you like shit going forward.

End result: Anubis loses a paying customer and big client that throws tens of millions each year at software projects.

Working as intended. Their goal is not a payday.

If it is a different team, why wouldn’t you just say that’s your recommendation? Your story isn’t making sense
