I wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users.
I work on the SAP Analytics Cloud Business Intelligence license. There is another license for the EPM, enterprise performance management. I'm working only on the Business Intelligence license, not on the EPM license. I'm not sure of the exact pricing, however, my understanding is that it is pretty good.
The pricing is based on a monthly or yearly basis. There are only two options. The free option does not have many capabilities. The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option. There are no other additional costs involved.
The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable. The power user license is a bit expensive, but our client doesn't need to buy many user licenses for that.
I find the pricing of SAP Analytics Cloud reasonable. On a scale of one to five, with five being the best, I'm giving it a score of four out of five for the price.

The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive. That said, sometimes I only need to deploy one user and it's expensive. You need to buy it in bulk, for maybe five users or more.

I can't speak to the licensing or costs. I'm not involved in that aspect just yet. There seem to be three different levels of licenses, including one for a viewer, and one for a designer and one is for analytics.

Compute and storage features should be sold separately. Typically, compute and storage is sold separately because there are a lot of use cases. A lot of people ask for it because other competitive products offer it. If they could provide that, it would be very helpful.

It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money.

I believe that SAC is cheaper than BusinessObjects for a basic user license. It's difficult to compare because one is an on-premise pricing model and the other is subscription based. You're not really comparing apples with apples. For some of the more advanced functionalities, though, it can be more expensive. Analytics Cloud is subscription-based. There are different tiers of licensing that give you different access to different functionalities, but assuming you have all of that, there is no additional hosting or set up costs, its fully included in the price per user.
