Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "In my opinion, the pricing is very fair and very customer-oriented. It's much better than any other tool I have used so far."
  • "It seems like a fair price, based on other software solutions I've purchased."
  • "It's quite expensive. They are charging around $110 or $120 per user, per year. It's quite expensive in comparison to the other tools available in the market."
  • "Nexus Repository Manager Pro is quite affordable because it's about €100, per user, per year. Purchasing licenses was not really a big issue for us. Regarding Nexus IQ, it's much more expensive. We purchased 250 licenses and they cost us about €120,000."
  • "One of the challenges we had around licensing was how to deal with anonymous requests. According to the letter of the contract, an anonymous request consumes a license. We had to do some work to get over the fact that any anonymous interactions with the Repository product had to be put back to an end-user account."
  • "There were costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. The standard is free."
  • "The cost is managed by the client."
  • "I use the open-source version of the product, which is free of cost."
