My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is limited since, as a consultant, I do not really engage in these discussions. These details are mostly handled by the vendor and the client side, while we focus on the implementation.
BigID may be expensive, with various services and applications that require separate payments. Some features and applications such as Data Retention and Subject Rights Management also have additional costs.
The solution is not licensed per user but rather based on capacity. For instance, organizations with large amounts of data, such as 50 GB or more, are the ones that typically qualify for BigID. The tool's pricing is premium so that it could be categorized as expensive. However, its price tag justifies the proficiency of its scanning engine and tools. It's considered a premium tool with a higher price point.
I think that BigID's pricing is very reasonable. Maybe when my company can see the product with more leads, I will be able to comment on whether the product's price is too high or too low. As of now, I think that the product's price is okay.

It is an expensive product. There are different price points for different BigID functions and features now. So, it depends on your specific needs. In the time I've been working with BigID (over half a decade now), it's gone from a monolithic software package to something with more modular parts. Now, the customer or client can buy only the required pieces, making it not terribly expensive. So, the pricing depends. If you have thousands of data sources to connect and manage, and you struggled with an MDM package in the past, you'll find BigID valuable and even cheap. But if you're a small business, it's probably not the right tool for you. So, it depends on your goals, past experiences, business problems, and organizational direction. If you're in healthcare, technology, or manufacturing with tons of data sources to control, understand, and manage (data disposition, cataloging, reporting, GDPR/California compliance, etc.), and you have the right discipline and understanding of what you're trying to do, you'll find it inexpensive. But without management commitment to using the tool effectively, it's like buying an expensive Oracle or SAP system and not getting the desired results.

It is used in an MNC. But, based on my research, it is competitively priced compared to market standards. It is worth the money.

BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee.
