We find the pricing to be a little bit higher side. If that could become a bit more competitive with, for example, AWS or something, that would be great. We pay approximately $500,000 a year. It's approximately $10,000 a year per license. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability.

In terms of pricing, you can't compare it to open source solutions. It would be higher compared to open source, of course, however, with the support and everything you're getting, I would say the price, in general, is fair. I have seen AWS as well and can compare it to that and I would say it is fair. The problem is it is not exactly dynamic or serverless, with how the way things are in the cloud. Therefore, it is not completely utilized. You have to set up things beforehand with some level of capability and capacity beforehand. In regards to the price, it's not too high and also not too low. Their pricing is not exactly serverless. It's per hour. A lot of others are moving towards pricing based on the amount of data you pull. Streaming Analytics charges per hour, and in that sense, you need to set up the capacity by trial and error, literally.
The cost of this solution is less than competitors such as Amazon or Google Cloud. If we only use one hour then we are only charged for one hour. It is very easy and some products are more expensive.

Our firm works in the former Yugoslavia: Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia, Macedonia, and Montenegro. The prices are different in these markets. Of course, we always want to have the lowest price but that doesn't mean price is the main factor when buying something. It is one of them, for sure. Maybe we cannot afford the most sophisticated tool there is, so price is important, but not the most important thing when we buy something.

The product's price is at par with the other solutions provided by the other cloud service providers in the market.
Customers need to pay for a license. However, we have a three-year upfront licensing arrangement, which helps to keep the costs relatively low.
The current price is substantial.
The pricing is on the client's side. I can't speak to the exact cost of the product.
I am unsure of what the licensing costs are for this solution.

The product does have a free trial offer, however, it is much too short. It's only 14 days and that's not enough time to run a proper POC.
