The pricing is not cheap, but it's attractive. And the pricing is flexible, too. I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

I rate the price a nine out of ten on a scale where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

In price comparisons with alternative products, it stands out as a more cost-effective option.

When it comes to licensing, whether it's on a yearly or warranty basis, all services remain consistent when purchasing storage. In the case of extended service durations, such as three or five years, additional functionalities like compression and deduplication are automatically included within the five-year package.

You need to pay for the license.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado has a competitive price compared to other solutions like EMC, IBM, and HPE. I rate its pricing a seven or eight.

The pricing is reasonable. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap price and ten is expensive. It is cheap.

I rate the pricing a six on a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, not cost-effective, and ten is cheap.

The pricing is one thing that works for them. I think their pricing is more competitively affordable than these top competitors. That is what I have observed, their pricing and their market approach in general, they have a market whereby you can pay as you use, and you do not need to acquire upfront capacity that you are not using now.

I'm not involved with the licensing process but I understand that Huawei is about 50% cheaper than competing solutions.

It's not easy to receive an upgrade license of Huawei OceanStor Dorado. It's easy to buy OceanStor with several features, but when you want to add on features later it's not easy. I had some problems.

The price of the solution is reasonable. There is not a vendor that offers an All-Flash Storage Array at the price of Huawei OceanStor Dorado. The other solutions are approximately 50% higher.

Huawei has very good pricing. They have some promotions that can be taken advantage of at certain times of the year, such as the end of December. They are providing aggressive pricing. In the Pakistan market, they are ready to beat any vendor in Pakistan because they want to grab the market.

I had all the licenses initially bought. I couldn't speak to the licensing, as I have bought all the licenses initially.

The pricing has been very reasonable. I wouldn't describe it as expensive. Likely, any company would find the solution to be affordable.

We usually recommend our customers choose advanced licensing and enterprise companies are more inclined to choose this solution because it is more cost-effective than competitors.

All of the brands have different architectures for licensing. Some licenses come standard with the product, whereas some you need to buy. This product is not too expensive, and the price is competitive on the market.

There are some costs in addition to the standard licensing fees, depending on the requirements. Examples of these are the HyperMetro, HyperReplication, and HyperSnapshot (HyperSnap) features.

There are lots of features included with this solution and some of them require additional licensing, such as creating high availability storage using a cluster.

The pricing is very competitive. At first we were cautious about the NVMe storage but the price was more competitive than other solutions. Even more, if we consider the total cost of ownership of the storage because the cost of maintenance of the all-flash storage is very little. All-flash Huawei is much cheaper than the cost of maintenance of more traditional storage solutions.

I don't handle pricing, but I do believe it is less expensive than IBM.
