The pricing and licensing for SharePoint are considered expensive, especially when Microsoft forces users to upgrade to higher licenses for basic functionalities like auditing. This upgrade requirement feels unjustified.

With SharePoint, we save by not needing multiple external licenses. Unlike Drupal ( /products/drupal-reviews ), all necessary applications are included in the Microsoft license, making it cost-effective. SharePoint is user-friendly and does not require extensive technical skills, saving resources in terms of people and time.
It is difficult to comment on the cost as I cannot compare it to something else. Ten dollars might be cheap, but if everyone else is charging one dollar, it is very expensive. However, I cannot really comment on it objectively.
I am not aware of the enterprise pricing levels. However, I do know that enterprise licensing is generally cost-effective compared to individual purchases. Pricing usually is not an issue.
The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten.

The pricing is competitive. That's why almost all the companies are using SharePoint. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. When we buy the license, the person buying must be well-educated on how the pricing model works. We get some bundles for free. We can get Power Apps, Microsoft Exchange, and E1 and E2 licenses for free. We must know what our organization needs. It will cost us more if we want to increase the space or customize solutions. The standard features are free.
It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans, which we find to be a bit high, especially as we add more users. We use a monthly-based license model. As long as you have a license, you get support. So, there are no additional costs to the standard licensing.
The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good. There can be additional costs depending on the features that we are going to use. If we are using any third-party integration or third-party connector, then in this scenario we need premium licensing.

You have to pay for a license to use SharePoint, and any extended support from Microsoft is expensive. For example: if you have SharePoint 2013 and it reaches its end of life and goes out of support, you can migrate to SharePoint online, and that's a benefit, but you'll have to pay for extended support.
For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance. It depends on the customer, but most are using an agreement that covers four to ten free incidents per year. You really need that, and it's well-invested money.
about licensing, it depends a lot on what you need to do, there are many plans, options to choose from, you need to plan, enjoy 100% of what the product offers, so you can decide if the value is right
SharePoint is a Microsoft-based platform for building web applications. It covers a widerange of capabilities and while it is appropriate for experienced webdevelopers, even non-technical minded users can easily navigate through thesystem and execute functions such as collaborating data, managing documents andfiles, creating websites, managing social networking solutions, and automatingworkflow. Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and...
I do not know the difference between the prices of the two solutions; I did not work on this project.
As SharePoint is part of the Microsoft 365 suite, the pricing is acceptable.

I am not involved in the licensing, but Microsoft offers bundled pricing for Office, SharePoint, and Exchange, making it cost-effective.
I have a little understanding of the licensing cost. A separate team handles it. I am not very well-versed in this area.

It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month. There are no additional costs.
The license is a one-time cost when you purchase the solution, but there is an annual support fee.
It's not expensive.
I don't have experience in that area.

Pricing is very high.
The pricing works for us.
The cost is expensive, but worthwhile.
We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design.
The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint.
