I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being expensive.
We have a contract and pay a one-time purchase price. We're currently evaluating the AFF A150... that's approximately (FRF)106,164.

The pricing ultimately depends on the capacity and the controller. It varies. We have systems that cost around 50,000 for the lease term, while others range into the million-dollar territory. It all hinges on the capacity and the controller specifications you opt for.

The price depends on the size and features. I've sold arrays for as little $20,000 USD and as high as $300,000 USD. It would be very difficult to give an average cost.
In some cases, there are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

The pricing of NetApp FAS Series is reasonable for its performance. If the customer just needs a solution for archive storage, NetApp becomes expensive because the customer doesn't need so much performance for archive storage. For such requirements, we can offer other local storage solutions to customers. It actually depends on the customer's budget.
I always get the bundle price, and I don't buy separate licenses because they have some bundle packages. I don't have separate license pricing.
The price of NetApp FAS Series is the same as Dell's cost, so I don't think there are any comparable elements in the pricing part.
The tool is expensive.
I would rate it an eight out of ten, with one being low and ten being expensive. In general, I find NetApp to be very expensive. That's the main issue I have with them. So it's a drawback in terms of pricing.
There are additional costs depending on the bundles you choose to purchase.

The price of the NetApp FAS Series is reasonable and it provides value for the money with the feature sets. NetApp FAS Series are competing with Huawei storage which has an office and does aggressive marketing with a discount. However, we found that if our customers do a technology refresh they are happy with the performance of the NetApp FAS Series.
The price of the solution is based on a lot of aspects, such as installation type, size, and technology being used.

The licensing cost is on yearly basis.
View full review »The solution is more expensive than other vendors. Although, its cost depends on the use cases and configurations required.
NetApp offers bundled products along with the purchase of the storage system. Thus, the customers don't have to pay recurring licensing fees, including the upgrades. There is no expiry for storage licenses. The customers have to pay for support services. The price for the initial configuration might appear more expensive than other competitors. But it tends to be lower after a specific time.

It's not the cheapest, but it's not the most expensive either. It's a fair price. However, the price could be more flexible for the clients.

When we need to implement a less expensive solution we use Huawei. NetApp FAS Series is a little bit expensive compared to the average of the market.

We haven't really done anything with the leasing options that they have recently come out with. We have instead outright purchased the equipment and all of the software that we use from them.
It doesn't seem out of the normal range for other vendors.
I don't really have a big pro or con stance on the pricing aspect of the solution.

Licensing is still proprietary which is one of the advantage of some Netapp devices to some of the storage systems.

We purchased it for four years, and it wasn't expensive. It was reasonable.
Every company has a different agreement with NetApp. We got everything we wanted with all the bells and whistles and all the features and functionalities.

When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower.

I think the pricing of this solution could be lower because really it's just storage consolidation these days. I think this technology has matured so much. It's time to make it slightly more competitive, it's on the high side for now.
View full review »The price it not low, but comparing features to other vendors, the price can be balanced.
The price, sometimes, is very high, but the ROI is guaranteed.

It is a one-time license charge for NetApp FAS Series to run and we pay annually for upgrades and support.
View full review »When it comes to software licensing, I think that NetApp promotes a very fair system. Basically you only pay for the features you need (eg.: Cluster Mode, SnapMirror, SnapVault, etc.).

I don't recall the price, but in general, pricing can always be better.
View full review »For a number of years now, purchasing a storage system has been actually purchasing software. There is no plain storage anymore, more or less intelligent software solutions. Thus, licenses are required to fulfill the business demands. One considering between different storage system should carefully investigate what software options they get bundled in and what optional software they actually would need. Most storage vendors also have software, or licensing bundles, which may offer the required licenses considerably cheaper, but do also maybe offer licenses, which are not needed.

Licensing costs are reasonable for our customers. We're generally dealing with enterprise-size organizations - mainly the banking and government sectors.
Not overrated, though there are products available in market with comparatively lower costs.

It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support. Initially, we have a three-year support contract when we bought the system, but the subsequent renewal of maintenance was ridiculous. This is why we have not been too keen on NetApp.
