Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of this solution is on the expensive side."

"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."

"The price of VMware SRM depends on how many VMs the customer has to move. There is a difference between the standard and enterprise license. I'm presenting the standard license to my customers because the total of VMs is not more than 50. The customer needs only the standard license and the cost is very effective for him."

"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."

"Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap."

"The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies."

"The level of licensing required for this solution is dependent on the server instances in use."

"The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license."
