The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten. There is a subscription called OpenShift Plus, which offers additional features and products the vendor provides to complement the OpenShift Container Platform. These include ACM, Red Hat Quay, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation.

The pricing is expensive for licensing. The customer has to pay for the license.

OpenShift Container Platform is highly-priced. Besides the license fee, you must have a dedicated set of resources to maintain and manage OpenShift Container Platform.

I would rate the pricing of this solution a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most expensive and 10 being the least expensive.

The pricing and licensing are handled on an upper management level, and I'm not involved in that, but I understand the solution to be somewhat pricey.

I'm unfamiliar with the product's price or how it compares to the competitors.

I'm an architect, so I have no involvement in the pricing and licensing of the platform.

I have a vague understanding of it but keep in mind that enterprise pricing differs from, I don't know, people or smaller businesses approaching them. It largely depends on how much money they earn from the application being deployed; you don't normally deploy an app just for the purpose of having it. You must constantly look into your revenue and how much you spend every container, minute, or hour of how much it is working. I wouldn't have access to that information within my company, therefore I'd assume it's in plus.

It costs about $10,000 for a three-year license.

I cannot speak about the pricing. We never interact with the vendor for that. There is a separate team who takes care of the platform and they work with the vendor for pricing.

The pricing is a bit more expensive than expected - it's moderately expensive.

The price is slightly on the higher side. It is something that can be worked on because most of the businesses now have margins.

It depends on who you're talking to. For a large corporation, it is acceptable, other than the significant infrastructure requirements. For a small organization, it is in no way suitable, and we'd go for Amazon's container solution. Additional costs are difficult for me to articulate because ours is a highly-complex environment even outside of it.

The solution is very costly. However, you do get good value for the price, and therefore we're willing to pay even if the cost is high.

It is a costly solution but then again, it's intended for enterprise-level business, and the license has to reflect that. We implemented the solution at a college. It is appreciated what the GPU's processing power requirements will be higher. The licensing is very flexible. The license is related to the processing power you need, and the infrastructure of any clusters which go with that.
