Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are several different options available, but it can range anywhere from $85 to $150 a month per machine."
  • "The bundle works out to be approximately $20.00 per month."
  • "The solution is not very cheap and it is not too pricey."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a two."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I think that the price can be lower. We have cases where the customer needs to have lower costs. So since we don't have options, like, shadow mode, they need to decrease pricing or have other models for reduced pricing."
  • "They have hourly and monthly pricing, and because our use case is, more of a sporadic use, so I go for hourly pricing. Again, the details of the pricing is handled by the procurement. From an end user perspective, pay as you use hourly is suitable"
  • "Price-wise Amazon Workspaces is cheaper than most services available."
