Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
  • "In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
  • "The pricing is based on consumption and works on a point scale. For example, let's say I want to look at www.google.com, and I'm going to test it to see if it's there. It will bring back all this data that tells me how long it took to connect and how long it took to get the first byte. It will list all the resources on the page, showing that they all work and there are no broken links. It brings that data back. That test has an assigned point value depending on what you decide to extract from that test. If all I do is check to see whether it's available, it might be one point. I don't know the exact point values off-hand. This is just an example."
  • "The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
