Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
At the moment I'm only using 500 sensors. I pay yearly, so it's a cost that's easily swallowed. We used a product called SolarWinds in the past, and its cost was high. Whereas, PRTG came in at a third of SolarWind's cost. Cost was a factor when selecting this solution, but it just did everything we wanted it to do. Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years. We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization. We looked at PRTG and SolarWinds. From a cost side perspective, compared to PRTG, and from what you get back from it, PRTG was sort of a hands down the winner. While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year. It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible. | It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money. The scalability becomes very expensive quickly. The license becomes cost prohibitive very quickly. It is a little overall pricey and expensive, but you get what you pay for. It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable. The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense. Cost is probably the biggest drawback. Compared to some of the newer vendors that have popped up in the space, it's definitely more on the expensive side... [But] it's been able to keep its value, even in the face of the cheaper competition. Their pricing is very competitive with other solutions... But what I like about NETSCOUT's licensing is that it's shared across all their platforms. They don't create a new licensing scheme for every one of their products. So for nGeniusONE, you buy a certain license level, and it works on all of their products. | Information Not Available |
