What I understand from the finance team is that IBM is expensive. Besides, the real cost is not in the license. It's in the deployment because of the skills input.

IBM Integration Bus is expensive. There are cheaper products in the marketplace. On a scale from one to ten, I would give the pricing a two.

We have the enterprise edition, and it is licensed yearly. I do not know what the cost is.

The price of the IBM Integration Bus is expensive. If you compare the price to the cloud version you can purchase what you need but the on-premise version price is flat.

IBM Integration Bus solution is expensive and this is one of the reasons we are looking for an alternative, such as MuleSoft. There are some additional pieces of software we need to purchase to do certain kinds of integrations, this should be included and we should not have to pay extra.

Installation of the base product has been simplified over the last five years or so, and is now fairly straight forward. You need an infrastructure design for the product deployment and an integration architecture and design documented and agreed to get the best from this software. It is relatively easy to program (Extended SQL, Java, and other options are available), however, it's important to think and take advice before you start. The product is generally priced per processor core.

It is not cheap. It has its cost. It is one of the high-cost solutions.

I prefer not to address the licensing costs, or any other for that matter, as this is confidential.

I generally do not get involved in the licensing or pricing because I'm a hardcore technical guy, but I'm aware of the fact that IBM is highly expensive, so not everybody can afford it. All the products are licensed.

IBM Integration Bus itself is prices fair but App-Connect is a bit expensive which we use in conjunction with it.

I use the traditional licensing model, which I believe to not be on a monthly basis, as the solution is not cloud-based. I don't mind the pricing.

The solution requires a license and is very expensive here in India. Large organizations will be able to afford it but smaller companies will have a difficult time paying for the solution at the current price.

Evaluate and define a clear architecture, and set up a governance framework that includes a competence center that will take care of the usage, the licenses which will be needed, and do guarantee the reuse of interfaces and components.

The pricing is pretty good. We've noticed that it's quite reasonable, whereas, for example, solutions like MuleSoft are rising. Salesforce recently acquired MuleSoft and has grown its market share, however, the pricing is turning people off. IBM is much more reasonable.

We're satisfied with the price, it's okay. The terms and everything are decided by the company. It's not a big deal for us.

Our licensing is based on a five-year contract, and as far as I know, there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fee.

* The IIB setup is still very command-based. The implementation is not so easy. * It still needs a lot of environment and OS-related tweaking. * Pricing is on par with its competition.
