Though I don't remember the price for SolarWinds NPM, its price is somewhat okay when you compare it with other tools in the market. The price isn't too high and isn't too low, so it's okay.
The pricing is based on a licensing model with bulk discounts offered annually. Licenses start with a low-cost option for 100 devices that runs between $2,000-$3,000. With 400 devices the cost is $4,000. With thousands of devices the cost can reach $50,000. All license levels come with technical support. Engineers are available to assist with challenges and there are no extra fees for that support.
When I compare the cost of CA Spectrum to that of SolarWinds NPM, the cost of CA Spectrum is way too high, and the cost of SolarWinds NPM is pretty low.
It was inexpensive when we installed it and gradually became more expensive, but it was a very inexpensive product at first. It is significantly less expensive than Infoblox. I don't recall the exact amount, It was approximately 20 years ago, but I recall it being relatively inexpensive to install. The initial part was really cheap, but the licensing cost became really expensive over time.
You've got the annual license, and then you've got a perpetual license as well. The pricing is very affordable. There is no extra cost beyond the licensing.

The charge is currently made per module for the product, and there is no option to buy it as a full system bundle which makes it costly. Also, charges are made annually, it's not a perpetual purchase. It would not be affordable for SME level organizations.

I’m only a technical person. I don’t have access to the pricing. Extra costs come under support and maintenance. Obviously, we always consider support and maintenance under the same licensing cost. They'll only provide one year of support and maintenance.
SolarWinds is expensive. That's why it's primarily banks using the solution. Small businesses can't afford it. Due to its pricing, most smaller enterprises like manufacturing companies are not interested. For example, we have a client who is also interested in traffic monitoring, but they are not purchasing SolarWinds because of the cost.

We pay approximately $4,000 annually for SolarWinds NPM. There are no additional fees required other than the standard fees. I rate the price of SolarWinds NPM a three out of five.
We pay for SolarWinds NPM yearly. We buy it and then we renew it, but it's not subscription-based. I don't remember the value exactly, because it's my manager who manages pricing, but we pay $60,000 per year for all the solutions. Pricing will also depend on the number of devices. We have a lot of devices.

There's standard licensing, and then it depends on the size of the customer. I have customers that pay anywhere from 25K up to 200K, depending on the subscription model.

The pricing is reasonable. In the last year we tried to look for different applications and those other applications are even more expensive. If someone wants to install this application, they need to be very specific what environment they want to monitor, whether they want to monitor in a hybrid environment or just cloud, or just on prem, because the setup is going to be quite different in all aspects. When it comes to installation, someone has to have a better understanding of what they're actually going to monitor, how many nodes they are going to monitor, how many network device they are going to monitor, etc. With respect to that, the licensing changes.
It seemed that they nickeled and dimed you for everything that you were doing. There are a lot of sub-products and it just continued to increase the price.

It's expensive and there are costs in addition to the standard licensing. They have additional modules, for instance. They have a device tracking software that is an extra module. It tells you which device is connected to which port on your switch. It's a module that you have to pay extra for, at about $2,000.00 to $3,000.00. It becomes expensive when you add all of these modules, just trying to do work with basic network tools.
SolarWinds NPM is a network monitoring solution that enables you to detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues and outages quickly and efficiently. The solution is a powerful tool that can help you increase service levels, reduce downtime with multi vendor network monitoring, simplify the management of complex network devices, improve operational efficiency, and much more.

The product compares well against all the other monitoring software out there. It is not overpriced at all.
The solution is expensive and may not be very affordable for startups or smaller companies.
I renewed the licenses around two-and-a-half to three years ago and do not have the relevant numbers off the top of my head.
The price is more expensive than some other products, such as ManageEngine.
