Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
  • "I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
  • "The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
  • More Opsview Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This price of this solution is reasonable."
  • "The license was paid yearly and included technical support."
  • "While I wouldn't describe it as excessively expensive, if you require specific and reliable monitoring, SolarWinds can be a suitable option. The advantage is that SolarWinds offers a free version as well. If you don't heavily rely on its monitoring capabilities and are content with its basic features, the free version could suffice for your needs."
