The pricing is really bad. Last year, they rebranded the whole pricing structure. It used to be moderately priced at about £400 per user per year. Now they've changed the whole thing, and it's expensive, at ten times the price. The pricing is based on your company size, turnover, and all these different things to do with the company. I had a conversation in London. I spoke to an FME guy from Canada at a conference and said it was horrendous. FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000. It's worth the money, but the rebrand is just killing them.

The product's price is reasonable. As resellers, we get discounts. It helps us adjust the cost as per the customer's requirements. Additionally, it is an outright purchase with annual maintenance and support services.

We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful.

We have three fixed licenses. I think it would be more interesting to look at the floating licenses, because we do not use the licenses simultaneously. That's something we want to do in the near feature.

FME is the nicer and cheaper platform that supports all the functions of larger platforms.
