The solution costs around 600-700 dollars/year, which is quite affordable.

The hardcore USP of IBM Blueworks right now in the market is its pricing strategy, which is very, very good. It is very sweetly prized to bring people onto a digital view, and that's one we have always noticed. It helps us convince clients who do not see a lot of return on investment. The pricing strategy is amazing. The solution is very, very cost-effective. The license for the solution is on an annual subscription basis. Additional costs depend on whether the customers choose private clouds. If they choose private clouds, then there's a fee. However, they must only pay the license cost if it is a public cloud.

Setup, costing, and licensing are reasonable considering the functionality of the tool as compared to other solutions.

Price wise, IBM Blueworks Live is in the middle range, and I would give it a five out of ten.

Blue licenses are sold per 100 and I am not familiar with the cost. There are editor licenses that are around 50 euros per month, and contributor licenses that are around 30 euros per month.

I rate the pricing of IBM Blueworks Live a four out of five. The solution is not very expensive.

I think the price is right for what you get. You can add or reduce the number and type of licenses every renewal period.

Making it less expensive would be good.

Cost for me is very much a comparative number - to ROI and compared to market. IBM BWL is great compared to market and ROI index. Most of the tools do not provide off the shelf pricing, but IBM has kept the pricing pretty open and flexible. The licenses are named user licenses and come as an annual subscription which helps the organization to keep the licenses to the optimum usage. The only challenge is admin activities every year for renewals.

IF there is any concern on the cost better to look to open source options

They have a free subscription model that gives a lot of power to the users.

It's fairly cheap and scalable for simple process discovery applications. It is easy to use. There are more comprehensive solutions at a similar price. Beware that there is a minimum contract period and some fixed annual costs. With a larger number of users, it would like make sense to switch to a proper BPMS such as Appian (although I've not used Appian).

The licensing costs are based on the number of users. There are editor licenses and UA licenses.

Our licensing costs are very minimal, because we get a lot of the solutions for free (as a partner).

Based on the licenses purchased, from a footprint perspective, you can have as many people as you want. You have multiple different categories of licenses to keep the cost low.
