Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution has saved us time."
  • "There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."
  • "Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
  • "When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
  • "Licensing varies by use-case."
  • "IBM Business Automation Workflow has a flexible pricing mode, but the price is expensive. The price of the solution reflects the quality of the solution which is very high. The technical support is an additional cost."
  • "Our license is on a three-year term."
  • "It is on the expensive side, but it provides excellent supportability and an ecosystem that is proven to be a great fit for our organization."
