VMware SRM is a little bit pricey. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate VMware SRM's pricing a seven out of ten.

We pay 400,000 Brazilian Reals for the license. There are no other fees associated with the product.

I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive. VMware sells in bundles of 50 VMs, so if we want to expand with a smaller number, we have to buy the whole bundle.

I would give it an eight out of ten in terms of costliness.

The price of VMware SRM depends on how many VMs the customer has to move. There is a difference between the standard and enterprise license. I'm presenting the standard license to my customers because the total of VMs is not more than 50. The customer needs only the standard license and the cost is very effective for him.

It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

VMware SRM is quite expensive.

The licensing costs for the product are perpetual in nature. A person needs to buy the license only once there is a need to buy support on a yearly basis. The licensing cost for VMware SRM is expensive.

It is reasonably priced, and its cost hasn't been a significant factor in our implementation. We utilize various licensing options, but we typically purchase licenses upfront, avoiding monthly or yearly payment structures. We often opt for multi-year agreements, and if technical support isn't required, it allows us to maintain the same number of virtual machines and central traffic capacity.

SRM is quite pricey and the license is renewed annually. I think that they do a lot of ULAs, the universal license agreements, where you pay a set amount and get unlimited usage. That's how it usually goes with big companies. Occasionally, they do true-ups to work out how much you've got and whether ULA pricing is appropriate. It might be too expensive for smaller organizations.

We have a standard enterprise license for the solution.

The cost may be based on the number of simultaneous replication which is the limitation of the standard.

The level of licensing required for this solution is dependent on the server instances in use.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. 

I rate the product price a five to six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a very high price, and ten is a very low price.

We pay a yearly licensing fee for VMware SRM, which is not very expensive.

The fee is for the solution's license plus support. There are two options. One is subscription-based, which would be for a one or two years term base, and the other one is perpetual with support.

If you are buying this solution in an EOA bundle, then the pricing doesn't really matter that much. However, if you're buying a one-off license, the solution is pretty expensive.

I would rate pricing a three, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

We initially took out a five-year contract and recently extended it for another 12 months. It's quite an expensive solution. 

Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap. For a start, one can use vSphere Replication, which is available free of cost if vCenter is purchased for deploying a DR solution. It is very easy to deploy, though the recovery process will be manual. With SRM, the whole replication and recovery process can be automated for fast VM recovery.

I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

VMware SRM is expensive when compared to Veeam and makes Veeam look cheaper. For support, some additional payments need to be made over the licensing costs of the solution. Even with Veeam, additional payments must be made over the licensing costs.

I rate the solution's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive.

I am not involved with the pricing. 

We have a procurement team and sales team that work with the vendors.

We are always looking for solutions that are more affordable. SRM is more expensive than, for example, VirtualBox.

I pay for SRM per year. It is about $3,000 a year for the 25 pack. The package gives you the ability to protect up to 25 virtual machines.  

The pricing is very high. However, you get what you pay for. You need to invest a lot of money in order to gain any functionality. In order to have a DR site and maintain it, you need the investment. 

You need a license for SRM. We have a permanent license. There aren't additional fees if you need access to support. However, you can upgrade to another support tier. If you like, you can pay extra for premium support.

The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license.

The price could be lower, in general. My clients pay for an annual license.

Setup cost was based on number of vms and protection plan, and if communication DR site has no any issue, within two weeks all setup can normally be finished and cost is around $300- $350 per day.

The cost of SRM is on par with market rates. So I think the costs for this product are fine.  

The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies.

SRM is reasonably priced for the functionality it provides.

The price of this solution is on the expensive side. Also, not everything is included in the license.

We pay an annual licensing fee for the product. 

We do have to pay a licensing fee in order to use the solution. We have an annual subscription. 

Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs.

There is an annual license to use this solution.

vCloud SRM is a good solution, but it is costly when compared to other solutions like Nutanix.

I don’t know as it depends on the customer.
