My company pays for VMware Suite license because we use many products from this brand and this solution is included in this package as well. If you use more than one or two products by VMware, then this licensing method makes the most sense for you - you get everything for a fair price. However, if you only want to use VMware Aria Operations and explore what other services VMware provides, paying for the whole suite would be a waste of money, if you are uncertain that you will utilize everything in it. Then it would make the most sense to only pay for Aria Operations - they offer a few different licenses - and try demos of the other services by the company.
We pay for VMware Aria Operations as a standalone, but we are likely to move to a suite bundle. I think paying for it as a standalone works while you are getting to know it, but with time you will realize that you need more products from VMware as well. Their services are made to complement each other and work in sync so it makes sense to pay for a bundle rather than outsourcing things. The pricing in bundles is not much higher than paying third parties for similar solutions. That is why I think paying for Aria Operations in a suite with other VMware products is the most effective choice.
