Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is competing with other products that may cost significantly less or may be available as open-source. Because of that it is relatively expensive."
"There is a licensing cost that is expensive."
"This is not a cheap product."
"The cost depends greatly on the needs of the testing engagement."
"I don't know the licensing cost, but I think that you would get a discount for normal usage. I think there are different yearly options for different types of usage. It is not only how many users, but also whether it is shareable or not and other criteria involved in each feature. There are additional fees for the users and hardware linked to the processing."
"The pricing model, especially when involving partners, could use some improvement."
"Pricing depends on our choices because it depends on what type of protocol we are getting, what type of licensing we are getting, and what kind of relationships we have with HP and Micro Focus."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
