Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The cost is based on the amount of traffic and we paid approximately 18 lakh Rupees ($25,000 USD) last year."
  • "For the cloud, you get charges every day if you are going to download anything, besides the cost for storage those charges are always there."
  • "The cost of this solution is high compared to others, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The cost should be reduced to make it more competitive."
  • "Pricing is always confusing for all Microsoft products. For this solution, they do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed."
  • "We have a separate package and pay extra for additional technical support."
  • "The licensing cost of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is monthly. We have two types of licenses. One is the EA enterprise license and the other is a CSP license."
  • "It has a pay-as-you-go model. So, you are only paying for what you store. It's an attractive model. You don't pay for a set; you pay for what you actually use."
