We usually opt for a yearly plan, commonly for three or five years upfront. Some customers may not utilize all the features included in the product, and this can lead to them paying for functionalities they don't need.
I would say that the pricing offers great value for the money. The solution is expensive, but it gets compensated by the use cases. The licensing cost is also on the higher side, but customers show confidence in our implementation of this solution. Getting trained people on this solution to do the job is easier for us. We have found that Cisco is a good company to work with. The licensing model is not complex. Some scenarios can be complex, but the complexity is justified. The cost structure is very transparent regarding maintenance and support.
The price of Cisco Data Center Network Manager is expensive compared to other vendors on the market. I rate the price of the Cisco Data Center Network Manager a seven out of ten.
When we purchase Nexus boxes, the "DCNM for LAN Advanced License and MDS" licenses were purchased alongside with them; this allows the DCNM server to manage the Nexus boxes. We can download Cisco DCNM from the Cisco website and install it on a virtual environment such as VMware or Hyper-V, a Windows system, or in the cloud. We don't need to pay for the DCNM license because the nexus switches required DCNM licenses to manage them. To activate the DCNM server license itself, we just needed to contact Cisco and they will generate the license for us.

We use Cisco Smart Licensing. The features have to be unlocked through Cisco Smart Licensing.

The product is good but quite expensive. We pay an annual license and the cost depends on the number of devices.
I rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a good price.
On average, Data Center Network Manager's pricing isn't too costly unless you choose a premier license.
Value for money. go for the product that's worth it for your organization. in that case, I strongly recommend CISCO
I believe cost for the product is below 5,000K.
The product is licensed with contracts that work on a yearly basis rather than a monthly model.
The solution is very expensive.
