The price paid for Microsoft Project Server is a bit more than the value received. Ideally, only 10% of the cost of the entire exercise should be spent on project management tools. Due to the high cost, some users may consider open-source tools, which can complicate matters.
The solution is very expensive. It is a part of my enterprise database. I am paying a subscription for it. It doesn't cost for hardware but for other tools to use.
The main problem with this solution is collaboration between teams. If you want to involve the other teams you'll have to buy Project Light servers or enable the project team members to collaborate inside the plan itself. This is an extra cost to the standard license. We also have a license for the planner and the teams, but we need some integration between all of them. The professional and premium licenses are quite expensive.

A different department handled the licensing. I can't speak to exact costs. There is expense in the case of maintenance. If you need some person to maintain it, since it's an on-prem solution, that's a cost. You can't measure it, however, it's a cost. It's also expensive to scale.
The price of the Microsoft Project Server could improve, it is expensive here in Africa. When comparing Microsoft Project Server to Oracle Primavera for us, Microsoft Project Server is quite cost-effective.

I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it. We have an enterprise agreement. We've got a pretty large enterprise using the whole suite of Microsoft products. We have probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,600 to 2,800 people who are using either Microsoft OS, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, or something along that line.
The solution offers a subscription-based pay-as-you-go model. Now that everyone has moved to the online version, it is my understanding that the approximate cost comes to around $350 to $400 USD per month. I see or close to $4,000 to $5,000 USD per annum.

I don't have any experience with the pricing or licensing of the solution. I'm not sure what the costs are. It's not a part of my job to worry about the licensing.
While the solution is less expensive than Broadcomm's Clarity, it more expensive than Planview. That said, I'm unsure of the exact pricing or how often we pay licensing.

The pricing of the solution is reasonable. It's not outrageously expensive. Our finance department handles the billing, therefore, I'm unsure as to if we pay monthly or yearly and what the overall costs are.

We're Microsoft customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. The solution is only a single cost per seat. There isn't a monthly or yearly subscription. It's only a few hundred dollars. It's pretty inexpensive. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard fees.

Engage an experienced and highly rated vendor to help in the discovery and planning of the implementation. Project Server is better priced than many of the higher-end project management solutions.

It may be considered expensive, but it has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter.
The licensing was procured before my involvement.
