Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is licensed with your Windows installation which makes it relatively cheap if you already have a Windows Server sitting around."
  • "This solution comes included with Windows Server."
  • "The price of the cloud system is a bit high."
  • "The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much."
  • "We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package."
  • "I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."
  • "I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."
  • "I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."

  • "​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
  • "Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
  • "The cost of this solution is high."
