My advice is to make sure that you properly scope the project from both hardware and network requirements. NSX-T can be complicated if it is not designed correctly.

Our customers have definitely complained about its cost. It's expensive. I'd rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing where ten represents a high price. There are other products out there that are equally expensive.

The licensing is based on the CPU or the physical unit.

If five is a good price and one is a high price, I would rate the price a one out of five.

The price is significantly high and it can be a hurdle for many potential users.

I don't look over the pricing and licensing of the solution.

I'm not sure about licensing, as this is out of my scope as a technical engineer.

The pricing is higher than other options from Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco because it is sold in a bundle. 

Customers do not know the individual price of the solution so they compare the package pricing to competitors. The solution should offer stand-alone pricing so it can be accurately compared to other options. 

VMware NSX isn't cheap. 

VMware has a subscription and perpetual license. In the New Year, they're changing many things about the licensing model. Previously, NSX was licensed according to the number of sockets inside the appliance, so we bought VMware licenses based on that. However, that may have changed this year. We are still contacting the vendors to understand the new licensing strategy.

I'm not involved in the licensing process at all. I have no knowledge of how long our licenses last or how much it costs the company.

We have a license.

It is an expensive product, but cheaper than some competing solutions.

The cost of the solution is moderate. I'd rate it three out of five in terms of affordability.

The finance team handles the licensing agreements. I can't speak to the exact cost.

The price of VMware NSX is reasonable.

The original cost started at $1,500. The solution is paid monthly. All the institutions have to pay monthly for the services in the cloud. They have to pay $30,000 every month for this service every three years.

The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.

The solution is reasonable at the local level. But it is expensive to deploy it globally.

We are using the free version of the solution.

I'm a system engineer, so I don't know exactly what the price is. However, I am aware that it's high. It's better suited to larger enterprises.

The implementation of VMware NSX can be cost-intensive, especially if an organization is looking for a comprehensive solution. The costs can vary based on factors like the level of conversation and discounts obtained during negotiations. Some government organizations, for instance, may find the prices relatively high, leading to concerns about budget hikes, especially when deploying the solution across the entire organization.

Regarding maintenance and support, they are typically included in the standard licensing costs for enterprise-level businesses. While these costs can be significant, many companies opt for standard licensing to ensure they have access to necessary support and maintenance services.

I was not involved in the purchase of the solution but I hear it is on the expensive side. That is why quite a few companies are moving towards open source because there are multiple solutions such as NginX, that can do the load balancing, and Calico and Flannel can do your logical switching routing.

This solution requires a licence. 

The price of VMware NSX is optimal. Additionally, the price of the solution can be negotiated with the vendor. Many areas of the solution can impact the cost, such as features, time for onboarding, and support needed.

The cost of the solution is a bit high.

VMware NSX is a cheaper product compared to its competitor, Cisco.

The price of VMware NSX is very good compared to other solutions.

I rate the price of VMware NSX a five out of five.

There is a license required for this solution and there is also a support license available. 

The price of the solution could be better.

It was complex, but we worked on all the templates and now it is easy.

The tool's pricing is reasonable. 

The subscription is on a yearly basis.

The licensing is renewed every three years. The cost for implementation and renovation are a huge portion of that price.

I can't speak to the exact licensing costs of the solution.

The licensing fees are expensive and we pay on a yearly basis. However, we were able to leverage some of the licenses that we had for an affiliated product, ESXi. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

The solution is expensive.

The pricing model for VMware NSX is good, especially because it has a lot of features.

VMware NSX is expensive and everything is licensed. We have to pay for each individual feature. 

Our customers can use the solution for free, however, this comes with restrictions.

It has saved us CapEx. They should adjust the license for NSX so that we can invest in the infrastructure or purchasing of new hardware. This solution is reasonably priced compared to other vendors.

I'm unable to give information on the pricing or licensing cost of VMware NSX because I've never been someone who looks into the economic part of any security or virtualization solutions. That's handled by an entirely different team, and I don't even have the slightest idea about the costs associated with the solution, though I've heard pricing for VMware NSX is on the higher side.

The price is based on the virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI) side and also is dependant on the size of the environment. The price is expensive and it could attract more purchasers in smaller organisations if it was reduced.

The licensing is complex. Sometimes I have trouble understanding it.

The solution is free and the price for the support can be expensive.

VMware NSX is expensive.

We got the licenses from VMware as part of the NFR agreement, but you will require a medium infrastructure to deploy this initially. Lot of memory and CPU are required to have the product run smoothly

It has helped us save CapEx but I'm not sure exactly how much. 

The price of this product is too high.

We are using a perpetual license to use the solution and we have support.

There is a license required for this solution, we pay annually.

The cost of the solution is a little high, particularly given that most people will not use all the features of the product. If a customer does use all the options, it is a very cheap solution but that is unlikely. For a regular user looking for normal switching, the price feels high. If it's implemented properly you can reduce the cost.

VMware has always been geared towards enterprise and their pricing options are a bit high. Their price is higher than other options in the market.
