We paid a lot of money for software that is not really fully operational out of the box. We had to have patches from VMware to get it into production. Hence, we lost a lot of time implementing the solution. We have a three-year contract, for which we pay about ten euros per user per month. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

VMware Horizon has subscription-based TERM licenses with many flexible options. I would really consider it to be of great value if VMware starts to offer perpetual licensing which used to be available.
I cannot provide a detailed comment on the pricing; however, I can say that it is quite expensive. The licensing for VDI is divided into multiple modules, including standard and enterprise options. There are different types of licensing available for VDI.

I am aware of the license models, but not the prices. There are multiple licensing options, please refer to Understanding Horizon Licenses (87490) (vmware.com) for more information.
The product has high license costs. I cannot give an exact figure on the price as our procurement department handles this. However, we would rate the licensing fees a nine out of ten because of how high it is.
