Our internal team takes care of group licensing and cost. We don't have individual licenses. We have group licensing at the company level. Usually, IBM doesn't charge anything separately on the licensing side.

For storage and everything else, we are paying around $6,000 per month, which is not very high. It includes Linux data storage, execution, and licensing. They're charging $40 for one-hour execution. Based on that, we are spending around $2,000 on the production environment and $1,000 on the lower environment for testing and development-side executions. For the mainframe, we are using the Db2 mainframe database, and we are spending around $1,000 on the Db2 mainframe database as well. All this comes out to be around $6,000. We, however, would like to have some cost reduction.

DataStage’s cost is one-third of that of Informatica. The solution is cheap. Any client would opt for it.

The pricing depends on the setup. However, we paid $100,000 as a one-time cost for an on-premises setup. 

You do have extra costs when using the product on-premises. For example, you need to have servers to host it. 

The company has a contract with IBM. I'm not sure of the exact pricing. 

The pricing is competitive but on the higher side of the pricing scale.

It depends on the project's budget. For very large enterprise-level projects, DataStage is still a good choice.

Pricing is handled by the procurement department. But compared to other enterprise tools like Informatica or Pentaho, IBM DataStage is quite cheaper.

I have no information on the exact pricing for IBM InfoSphere DataStage because the solution is usually procured by the clients my company works with, though the pricing is higher compared to other solutions, so many clients choose to go with a different solution rather than IBM InfoSphere DataStage.

It is very difficult to say how much the product costs because there are variables depending on the configuration. Normally it's priced according to use, so the price can vary quite a lot. The more you use, the more you pay.

In comparison to other products, I would say it's not so expensive as Informatica, but it is intended to be an enterprise solution so it's not very cheap to deploy as products that are not enterprise solutions.

The products we offer are really very different in pricing compared to open-source products. With open-source you have only the maintenance cost. For the software products we use, you have to invest in the software and then the maintenance costs are in addition to that.

There are no other costs in addition to the standard licensing fee and the maintenance. With IBM, you typically pay for the licenses and the first 12 months of maintenance is included in that cost. Afterward, you pay for the maintenance year-to-year.

The price of the product is reasonable, especially for mid-sized companies. We have been successfully selling to several mid-sized companies.

The solution is quite expensive in comparison to similar solutions.

The licensing we have is permanent. 

The price is expensive but there are no licensing fees.

It's very expensive.

It is quite expensive.

Small and medium-sized companies cannot afford to pay for this solution.

The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten.

Comparable solutions will have common disadvantages, which is the total cost of the project.

It's quite expensive.

We pay an annual licensing fee. 

There were no problems with the licensing model for the bank.
