Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is based on the virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI) side and also is dependant on the size of the environment. The price is expensive and it could attract more purchasers in smaller organisations if it was reduced."
"The price could be better. We pay for the license every three years. The last time I checked, it cost around three million pesos in the Philipines. Most of the expense will go towards implementation and renovation."
"The subscription is on a yearly basis."
"The price of VMware NSX is optimal. Additionally, the price of the solution can be negotiated with the vendor. Many areas of the solution can impact the cost, such as features, time for onboarding, and support needed."
"The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"We can't go without NSX, so it's invaluable from this perspective."
"You can scale NSX if you have the resources, but it's usually expensive and complex to scale up."
"VMware NSX isn't cheap."
