The pricing is so cost-effective that it leaves no room for competition with other vendors.

Customers need to pay a yearly licensing fee for ExtremeCloud IQ, which is a little bit expensive. They do not have to pay any extra costs in addition to the standard license fees.

Previously, ExtremeCloudIQ provided free licensing for all the basic requirements of their customers. An advanced cloud user had to purchase advanced licenses for automation and advanced country features at the enterprise level. They have restricted the licensing, allowing only up to ten units for testing, which is challenging. This limitation becomes problematic, especially in countries like Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, where customers face economic challenges and have limited budgets. The previous free option was beneficial, but it has become tougher to manage with these new changes. They should revise their pricing structure, offering the basic features free of charge for up to 50 AP. Larger entities with more than 50 APs have the budget to support them. Still, it becomes more difficult for small and medium-sized businesses with less than 50 APs to allocate a significant budget for control and management features.

ExtremeCloud IQ's pricing is medium, but its support contract costs more. The solution's technical support is not free, and you have to pay additionally for technical support. I rate the solution a six out of ten for pricing.

Extreme licensing is based on the number of access points. When you buy the license for the first year, everything is included, such as access to mapping, etc. If you don't renew your software assurance for the second year, the access points will still work, but you can't use the cloud management tools. A lot of customers will say that ExtremeCloud isn't affordable. However, I think the price is reasonable compared to Aruba and Cisco. As a seller, I believe the price is competitive, but customers don't want to pay licensing fees. In South Africa, once I've bought something, it must work forever.

The solution is moderately priced. I’d rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability. If five is the highest, which would be Cisco, I would say Extreme definitely gets most of their business by not being as expensive as Cisco. And the licensing also costs less, which is a big selling point.

Extreme is twice as cheap compared to Cisco due to the currency exchange. Normally, I think Cisco would be a little bit more expensive, but there wouldn't be that much of a difference.

I can't recall the exact pricing. As I recall, it's on the higher side. I have seen other solutions such as Meraki from Cisco Aruba. Extreme is on the higher side. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of affordability as the cost is quite high. You simply need a regular license to begin using it.

I haven't done an in-depth analysis, but I think it's competitive. I couldn't tell you if it's the cheapest, but I have no reason to believe that it's out of line with the prices on the market. If you ask the superintendent of a co-op if the price of a product could be better, the answer will always be "yes." You get what you pay for. In my experience, you want to ensure you're buying something of reputable quality, and you have a duty to pay a reasonable price when you're spending public funds. There are other considerations, too. How long is it going to last? Are you going to have ongoing support? Is that support going to be delivered in a timely manner?

This solution offers annual licensing that is middle of the range in terms of cost.

It is easy for customers to use this product because they are able to interchange the license depending on their usage rather than having to buy individual licenses for each asset.

The price was okay. However, there are different licensing models and it would be helpful if more of the features were in the lower licensing bracket.

It is costly as compared to Meraki, Aruba, Juniper, and Cisco. Cloud IQ is an enterprise solution, whereas Meraki is specifically a single solution.

It is not the cheapest product but I think that the price is reasonable because you get a lot of support of it's needed. This is a professional access point.

I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale.
