I cannot discuss the product's price since it is meant to be confidential and kept between our company and IBM.

If the product price were not reasonable enough, our company would not use IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation.

I don't deal with the licensing of the product and therefore do not have any pricing details.

We have floating licenses. Licensing costs are yearly, mainly for maintenance.

The cost of maintenance is between €25,000 to €30,000 ($27,500 to $33,000 USD) and there are no additional fees.

We get support and all of the latest versions. However, there are some product upgrades which would be an additional cost. I strongly recommend to make upgrades together with IBM or IBM partners - from my experience upgrade is usually very complex.

Users can buy a three-year license for about 12,000 Euros.

You are going to need a beefy server and a fat network pipe to it in order to make DNG and its companion tools work well for users.

Definitely not the cheapest solution when it comes to licensing and at times confusing becuase of the various types offered (meaning what features and capabilities are available by type). Much more streamlined than years ago.

The price of this solution is very high, and it increases year after year.

Use workgroup licenses for smaller environments.
