The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy.

The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable.

The price varies completely. Cost information is available publically where you can compare with other solutions. From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors.

Overall, they are highly competitive when it comes to pricing.
