It is an expensive solution. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight. The licensing is based on a yearly basis, but we buy for a minimum of three years. We need to pay for the license and support.

The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive. If you compare this solution to Intel-based servers it is more expensive. The support of the solution is expensive. I rate the price of HPE NonStop a nine out of ten.

It would be helpful if they brought the price down. The pricing depends on individual companies. We like to buy five years upfront and then we deal with annual maintenance afterward. We don't budget it per year. HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end. I would strongly suggest that when they buy it, they should always attempt to buy multi-year support on it. HP tends to give more discounts when you buy multi-years versus just buying it for one year and then renewing it the next year. The support is definitely worth it for these types of solutions.
