Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high."
"This solution is priced slightly higher than others on the market but does offer good quality. With this solution's data reduction and compression, we were able to purchase less. Costs have dropped because of the data rate of compression and deduplication."
"Dealing with the product costs and licensing areas is getting easier since Dell is simplifying the licensing process and licensing packages offered to users."
"It is a really expensive solution."
"Our company finds the pricing high, but it decreases over time."
"The solution's licensing cost varies based on capacity and performance requirements."
"The pricing is expensive, but I think it's a fair value because it does manage itself. It definitely is much simpler than any of the other scale-out storage platforms that we've looked at in the past."
"The price of the solution can fluctuate. The price can be competitive or other times not. The price of the solution could be better."
