Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors. Oracle provided us with the best price we received from any cloud vendor.
The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products, which for some companies, is very beneficial. You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle. It is like hiring a cab where you need to pay depending on your ride. You can use the six processor units for five hours every day and then three processor units for the rest, but as you use it, you pay. Oracle should have calculated the costs on a monthly level, but you can have some kind of agreement with them and see the way of payment of usage. What is important for companies that already own some licenses, including for on-premises tools from Oracle sources or Exadata, which is like a hardware solution appliance, is that they can use the licenses. If companies plan to move to the cloud solution, like in the case of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, the licenses owned by them will get included in their overall cost for the solution, lowering the costs.

In terms of price, Oracle falls around the higher end, but that's because it's a superior product. On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight.

Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users.
Setup cost is not an issue as the service is on Oracle's Cloud. The Oracle Cloud Free Tier is an always free cloud service, with limited resource capacity.
You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use. If you feel that you need additional resources then you can increase them and pay only for them. There is no need to worry about paying for something that you don't use. Licensing depends also on how you want to store your data. For example, some clients use a hybrid approach, where some data is stored on the cloud and other data is stored on-premises. Overall, I think that the price is quite cheap, and they gave me a $300 credit.

I don't handle the billing or licensing aspect of the solution. I don't have any insights into the cost of the product or how many licenses the company holds.
Licensing costs are typically arranged by Oracle CPU. You pay for the access and then you can scale. If you have a fairly intensive database activity, you'd scale up by CPU, and you're paying by the CPU and the uptime. So there's a marginal uptime cost. If your operations are only running 12 hours a day, you can put your database offline after that and reduce costs. If you had multiple databases supporting the same environment, let's say a development, a test, and a production, you could just turn off the development and the test when you're not fixing anything or developing, and that would reduce your costs. There is also a free version of ADW that can be accessed if you create a cloud account. I think it allows for 20MB of space that is free.

Cost-wise, it's a solid seven out of ten. A bit costly, but it is a good tool.
The price depends on the configuration we choose. It can vary massively.

The solution's cost is reasonable. I rate its pricing as a five.
Licensing costs are paid on an annual basis and are reasonable although I'd like to see technical support included in the license fee.

I would recommend to fully utilize Oracle's trial service. It's a good way to try it out first.
The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit.
