vCenter Configuration Manager Pricing
vCenter's pricing is reasonable, but nowadays, they are drastically increasing their prices, which is pathetic. We would work for three to six months on our tenders and projects. When you commit three months to a customer, it is only after people have had many internal technical discussions that they come back, which may take a minimum of three to six months, at which point the price might already be higher.
With the software and three years of support, the Standard version costs us over 600,000 rupees.
View full review »The solution is expensive and is a great fit for large enterprises. The cloud-based version is for small enterprises.
The solution is quite expensive. VMware's recent changes in pricing strategy have caused concerns among clients, making it challenging to communicate this shift. Before, it was an acquisition strategy, and now it is a rental strategy. Clients are not ready to go in that direction.
The payment model is on a yearly basis. There are some additional costs, such as similar trackers, but they are manageable.

While the pricing is reasonable for large corporations, it presents a substantial financial challenge for medium-sized businesses. This high cost can deter smaller enterprises from acquiring the product, even if they are interested in it. I would rate it five out of ten.
View full review »Price-wise, the product is an affordable one. The additional expenses, apart from the licensing costs of the solution, are attached to the support a user wants to receive from vCenter Configuration Manager's end.

We have to pay for the whole bundle and individual pricing is not available. One license costs us almost $200 every year

We pay a monthly subscription, but I don't have the numbers. The only cost besides the license is the expense of maintaining the servers.

There is a free license for the standard version. Their enterprise version is expensive. I would advise starting with one server and working your way up as you go. The enterprise version provides support.

The pricing goes back to the configuration. Sometimes for weeks, to work, you need to buy your machines - and those are pretty reasonable.

The pricing varies. There are different types of licenses you can get, including standard, professional, or professional plus.
I'd rate the cost four out of five in terms of affordability.

Their licensing costs are high. But I think for the scale that we are using, it's suitable. If you use it on a larger scale with many servers, you have to pay a lot of money for them. I think it's suitable for organizations that don't need expert people that want more money each year or each month because it's a straightforward solution. We prefer to pay for these products that are integrated and straightforward.

vCenter has a standard license. As a result, VMware is not expensive compared to all hypervisor prices on the market.

It's a large application. It consumes a lot of resources. Sometimes the price is too high for our customers. If they buy it directly from VMware, its hard to convince the customer that we will bring down the total cost of ownership, in the end.
If they have an SLA, most of the time the solution is included in the license, and it's easier to get it deployed to the customer.
