The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market. ServiceNow can charge a higher price because they have a monopoly in the ITSM domain. From a security point of view, the company promotes their security products and prices them lower than IBM or Splunk and then they bundle them with their ITSM suite to provide a holistic solution that a customer can get value from. However, on ITSM alone, they are not competitive. Their license is on a yearly subscription base. It is based on the number of subscribers and users. The price is determined by the number of people who will work on the platform and the number of people that will configure the platform and make the processes on it.

It depends on the number of assets. SecOps is a suite of applications comprised of vulnerability response, security incident response, configuration compliance, threat intelligence, and data loss prevention. I'm only talking about the vulnerability response. If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that. Then you have to do the maintenance of two platform upgrades a year and enhancements. Those are services you need to think about when you're going to implement this.

The pricing in the industry is competitive. There are multiple vendors with the same enterprise-level solutions. Initially, the pricing was okay, but we can see they are starting to increase their pricing, however, in comparison to other effective solutions, it's fine. There may be other costs above the licensing fee as well.
