TFS Pricing

CarlBrown - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President Engineering at Vertex Downhole Ltd

I believe we pay on a yearly basis. I don't know the current costs of them. We outsource all that to a third party. Each of the developers gets a Microsoft Visual Studio Azure DevOps license, which gives them access to the TFS server as well. We probably pay on average about 1,800 Canadian Dollars a year for every developer, but that covers a lot more than just TFS.

The cost isn't prohibitive. We use a lot of different software in our company. We use a lot of engineering software. If I compare the cost of our developer team software to some of our other solutions, such as our CAD package SolidWorks or our PCB design software Altium, we pay orders of magnitude less for TFS than we do for those other packages. Microsoft's licensing terms are also much better. They're good. I would rate them a four out of five in terms of pricing.

The only additional cost that you have is that you need to run it on a server, and you need a Windows Server software license. If you didn't have that to start with, you'd have to purchase it, but we already had that for other services within the company, such as file services, print services, etc. Other than that, there are not really any costs.

Microsoft products are always expensive. Obviously, they are quality products, but it would be helpful if there was a reduction in price. But compared to other vendors, I think the cost is high.

I've been doing the budgeting for clients, and I find that the costing part — when we are going for new environments or we are ordering new servers — definitely plays a big part.

I would rate it between a 2 and 3 out of 5.

I believe that my company has opted for volume licensing provided by TFS. So, it is not just one or two licenses my company has since my company trusts products from Microsoft. Though I am unsure, I think that if you purchase one of Microsoft's products, they offer you some of their other products for free. As per my knowledge, Microsoft products are cheaper than other products in the market. On a scale where ten is the highest and one is the cheapest, I rate the solution's licensing cost at one on a scale of one to ten.

TFS is not cheap. We pay for monthly licensing at the enterprise level.

There are different prices depending on the configurations. There is a free version available. There is no extra cost for the solution. However, the hardware could be something that needs to be considered.
