Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it. In addition to their standard licensing fees, there is just the internal infrastructure cost for the license, indexing, etc. There is nothing additional from any other components that we use for the job. These are the resources for managing the solution at our end.
Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years.

It's my understanding that we have a license that is paid monthly. I don't have a view of the exact costs the company pays. It's not an aspect of the solution I deal with. Our management team deals directly with them.

The cost of the solution is very high. As a market leader, they tend to charge a premium. They only provide the product. Technical support is extra, if a company wants to have access to that.
What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.
It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product.
The PAM market overall is quite highly priced. It's a necessary expense, but both BeyondTrust and CyberArk are on the expensive side.
The solution's pricing is high.
The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly.
The licensing is paid on a yearly basis. I can't speak, however, to the actual cost of the solution.
