Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be improved."
"Its cost is fair. You can go for a free trial, but for initializing a project, you need to purchase a license. There are different types of licenses."
"I don't know about the price. I know there are different tiers with the license, but I'm not sure exactly what it costs anymore."
"VMware Horizon is expensive. It should provide a special price for more user licenses."
"The license for this product is paid on a monthly basis."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for VMware Horizon."
"The solution's pricing depends on certain factors. It would be best if you know which components you are looking for, as you may have other hardware costs. It is recommended if users want to use the VMware HPE as the hypervisor."
"The VMware Horizon 7 license is for three months. We are in the testing stage, we are still evaluating the product. We are sure now that we need to buy a license for the production environment."

I haven't personally worked with NComputing yet, but they do look promising. VMware is relatively good, but costly and a pain to manage in some cases. I will have a look at NComputing and provide a comparison to VMware Horizon View.
