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."

  • "We pay for a maintenance license, but it is not expensive."
  • "The solution is cost-efficient compared to other products. Pricing is rated an eight out of ten."
  • "Since the solution is freeware, our customers don't need to pay any licensing fees."
  • "Despite the price increase after being acquired by IBM, JBoss still maintains its competitiveness. The package provided is more geared towards cloud-based deployments, whereas our setup is more traditional, which makes it slightly more expensive for us. As most vendors are transitioning towards cloud-centric solutions, companies like ours need to adapt accordingly."
  • "It is an open-source solution."
  • "There is no licensing cost. The solution is free to use."
  • "JBoss is an expensive solution."
  • "The pricing of JBoss is more reasonable than that of WebLogic."
