The price of NetApp FAS Series is the same as Dell's cost, so I don't think there are any comparable elements in the pricing part. The tool is expensive.

The licensing cost is on yearly basis.

It's not the cheapest, but it's not the most expensive either. It's a fair price. However, the price could be more flexible for the clients.

It is a moderately low-priced platform.

The solution’s cost is reasonable. However, the support cost is very high. Our customers ask for more discounts.

I would rate it an eight out of ten, with one being low and ten being expensive. In general, I find NetApp to be very expensive. That's the main issue I have with them. So it's a drawback in terms of pricing. There are additional costs depending on the bundles you choose to purchase.

The price of the NetApp FAS Series is reasonable and it provides value for the money with the feature sets. NetApp FAS Series are competing with Huawei storage which has an office and does aggressive marketing with a discount. However, we found that if our customers do a technology refresh they are happy with the performance of the NetApp FAS Series. The price of the solution is based on a lot of aspects, such as installation type, size, and technology being used.

We have considered upgrading to an All-Flash solution but when we evaluated the cost-benefit we discovered that we don't have enough money to invest in it. To maintain the same technology with All-Flash would be too expensive for us.

It is a one-time license charge for NetApp FAS Series to run and we pay annually for upgrades and support.

It definitely depends on the contract. It depends on where you buy it from, which features are you going to use, and what is your personal benefit of the features that you plan to use for the system.

Licensing costs are reasonable for our customers. We're generally dealing with enterprise-size organizations - mainly the banking and government sectors.

It's not cheap, but at the same time, it's also inexpensive. It's somewhere in between.

I think the pricing of this solution could be lower because really it's just storage consolidation these days. I think this technology has matured so much. It's time to make it slightly more competitive, it's on the high side for now.

We haven't really done anything with the leasing options that they have recently come out with. We have instead outright purchased the equipment and all of the software that we use from them. It doesn't seem out of the normal range for other vendors. I don't really have a big pro or con stance on the pricing aspect of the solution.

The price depends on the size and features. I've sold arrays for as little $20,000 USD and as high as $300,000 USD. It would be very difficult to give an average cost. In some cases, there are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

Licensing is still proprietary which is one of the advantage of some Netapp devices to some of the storage systems.

It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support. Initially, we have a three-year support contract when we bought the system, but the subsequent renewal of maintenance was ridiculous. This is why we have not been too keen on NetApp.

When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower.
