After Broadcom acquires the solution, numerous licensing changes are being implemented. VMware and Broadcom will educate partners and customers on the new licensing policies. For instance, if a customer purchased the product two or two years ago and now has to procure a new license of VMware SRM, it may impact VMware's present and future business. I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten. After Broadcom acquired the solution, the licensing cost increased drastically, and other similar solutions are available at a competitive market price. Broadcom has to brainstorm on lucrative SKUs or offerings to onboard, especially startups or small-scale businesses.
We pay a yearly licensing fee for VMware SRM, which is not very expensive. The fee is for the solution's license plus support. There are two options. One is subscription-based, which would be for a one or two years term base, and the other one is perpetual with support.
SRM is quite pricey and the license is renewed annually. I think that they do a lot of ULAs, the universal license agreements, where you pay a set amount and get unlimited usage. That's how it usually goes with big companies. Occasionally, they do true-ups to work out how much you've got and whether ULA pricing is appropriate. It might be too expensive for smaller organizations.
The licensing costs for the product are perpetual in nature. A person needs to buy the license only once there is a need to buy support on a yearly basis. The licensing cost for VMware SRM is expensive.

If you are buying this solution in an EOA bundle, then the pricing doesn't really matter that much. However, if you're buying a one-off license, the solution is pretty expensive. I would rate pricing a three, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
We have a standard enterprise license for the solution. The cost may be based on the number of simultaneous replication which is the limitation of the standard.
The price of VMware SRM depends on how many VMs the customer has to move. There is a difference between the standard and enterprise license. I'm presenting the standard license to my customers because the total of VMs is not more than 50. The customer needs only the standard license and the cost is very effective for him.
