Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
