Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It was budget friendly."
  • "If we would not have gone with the vendor we might have been charged unnecessarily for packages we did not need."
  • "Dell PowerEdge M price is comparable to other solutions but cheaper than IBM. However, the IBM solution is a higher grade solution whereas Dell PowerEdge M is a medium-level solution."
  • "The pricing of PowerEdge Next is higher than it was before."
  • "The product is neither expensive nor cheap. It is manageable for medium enterprises as well."
  • "The solution's pricing is slightly higher."

  • "HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
  • "The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
