Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It's competitively priced when you look at what the feature pack brings and what the options give. Something that is not limited to JFrog and also extends to pretty much every software vendor out there is that if you want to use the more advanced or more enterprise features but you're a very small shop like mine, there usually isn't any way to get those features for a reduced price, which is the way the world works. That's something that sometimes is a bit of a bummer because you're paying for a solution that can host 10,000 users simultaneously but you're the only one using it."
  • "I am not aware of its cost, but it is worth investing in this. My guess is that its price is not much because we generally prefer open-source solutions, and if we are investing, we don't go for expensive ones. Our selection is based on the market demand and needs, and we invest only if something is worth the cost."
  • "It is a bit expensive. It could be a little bit lower or have an a la carte option because, in our case, we had to go to the next version of Enterprise X because we needed one feature, which was more than three projects. We don't need all the other capabilities, but we're paying for all those. It's almost twice the cost of the previous version. So, it would be nice to have something along those lines."

  • "In my opinion, the pricing is very fair and very customer-oriented. It's much better than any other tool I have used so far."
  • "It seems like a fair price, based on other software solutions I've purchased."
  • "It's quite expensive. They are charging around $110 or $120 per user, per year. It's quite expensive in comparison to the other tools available in the market."
  • "Nexus Repository Manager Pro is quite affordable because it's about €100, per user, per year. Purchasing licenses was not really a big issue for us. Regarding Nexus IQ, it's much more expensive. We purchased 250 licenses and they cost us about €120,000."
  • "One of the challenges we had around licensing was how to deal with anonymous requests. According to the letter of the contract, an anonymous request consumes a license. We had to do some work to get over the fact that any anonymous interactions with the Repository product had to be put back to an end-user account."
  • "There were costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. The standard is free."
  • "The cost is managed by the client."
  • "I use the open-source version of the product, which is free of cost."
