I think it's expensive because you have to pay for the licenses to IBM and all that and maintain them. And I think it's quite pricey, but I don't deal with that, so I'm not sure.

We have to pay for a license. I think it's a one-time payment as my company hasn't notified me about more charges. I don't think it's expensive for large corporations, but it will be costly for an average person.

With five being the most expensive, I would rate it a five out of five.
I am not sure why it is so expensive, but one license will cost approximately $15,000 in US dollars.

The pricing is quite high. We didn't pay for additional support. We didn't need it. They helped us without any cost in the installation part.

It is worth the money given the market options. There's good compatibility between you and your clients that makes it valuable.

I would tell them to be very cautious about how they initially import their requirements into the product because that initial import seems to carry more weight and effect than I would have anticipated.

I don't personally know what the numbers are. I just know that one of the reasons we've limited it to three seats is a function of cost.

All my clients are running under a special agreement using a client-server version of the DOORS product where they get a discount on the product and then only pay maintenance. They pay the maintenance on a yearly basis. They are mostly huge companies and this is partly how they were able to get this special agreement. It works well for them because we have informed the clients how they could reduce their maintenance costs.

Pricing is on the higher side because of multiple users who want to make use of the great functionality of tools.
Single tool licensing is good, but again it's costly, and with respect to extensions like DWA, DNG, and others, it becomes even more critical for companies who do not have high end budgets.
View full review »For small teams, node-locked licenses are the least expensive by far. As the project team grows, i.e. 10+, one flex licence per five team members becomes more cost-effective.

I don't have much information about pricing. I do know that our organization bought more licenses than we need, however, so we can easily add more people to the solution when we need to.
View full review »DOORS rules are that you have licences per company which give access to the software according to the users who need access at a particular time. Most businesses would probably find it too expensive to have a single licence per every DOORS user.

View full review »Consider the overall cost of ownership beyond the initial license costs. You will need to budget for development of your process, designing and building the schema, training and ongoing database administration and support to users of the tool.

IBM is a bit too expensive in terms of pricing. Customers are paying a lot for the license, and the price is quite high for this kind of environment. It is quite high as compared to what we can get today with other solutions.

It is not cheap. It is expensive to onboard additional licenses.

This is an expensive solution. Licensing fees are billed annually and there is no support included with what I pay.

It is very expensive. But, it depends on the project. The project must warrant the expense paid.
