The product is intermediate in price, neither expensive nor cheap. We are talking about an on-premises solution without licensing for years. Currently, licensing is required for VMs and CPU cores. It requires a yearly subscription. The government prefers not to follow this trend as they always need to maintain perpetual licenses.
The pricing is competitive. Initially, I misunderstood and rated it as higher, but on a scale of one to ten where one is cheap, I would rate it as a four.
Most likely, it's a perpetual license. Our customers do not prefer subscription-based solutions, so we typically offer subscription-based support, but the license itself is perpetual.
The pricing is very competitive. I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten. There are no additional costs to the standard license. They have a capital expenditure (capex) cost, but the only operating expenditure (opex) cost is for support. There are no hidden fees or any recurring costs. So, for the price, it's very good, and I would rate it an eight out of ten.
The price of HPE Hyper Converged is too high if I compare the product with a traditional solution or an alternative like SimpliVity. I have to pay the licensing for the CPU on top of the software and device costs.

Pricing with Dell EMC is double the price which I paid for HPE. However, in the end, Dell EMC is double in performance. This is not an apple to apple comparison though, as I have a four node from Dell EMC and a three node. I don't feel VxRail is that expensive.

HPE Hyper Converged is an affordable solution.
Considering the features it offers, I'd say it's not very cost-effective, but it provides real value for the money.
I rate the solution's pricing as a four out of ten.
I would rate the price at seven out of ten. There are no additional licensing fees, but it would be cheaper to go with a dHCI solution.
If I'm comparing the solution with Dell, HPE Hyper Converged is definitely cheaper in my experience.
For us, there are no extra costs above the standard licensing fees.
There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.
The solution is expensive - not only the hardware costs but server costs too. And the more you scale, the more expensive it gets.
The price of HPE Hyper Converged is too high if I compare the product with a traditional solution or an alternative like SimpliVity. I have to pay the licensing for the CPU on top of the software and device costs.
When I look at the TCO of this solution is this much better compared to my old traditional environment
