The licensing is expensive, and there are other costs involved too. I know from using the software that you have to buy new features whenever there are new updates, which I don't really like. But initially, it was very good.
Its pricing is pretty much up to the mark. For smaller enterprises, it could be a big price to pay at the initial stage of operations, but the moment you have the Seed B or Seed C funding and you want to scale up your operations and aren't much worried about the funds, at that point in time, you would need a solution that could be scaled. Simultaneously, you need a solution that you don't want to use on a very long-term basis. This solution could not be applied if we were operating with all the hospital chains in the US. We were operating just with one hospital. That's why it worked pretty well, so for medium enterprises, I believe it's very good.

I believe the pricing is not equitable. Different businesses operate in various models and ways, so I wish StreamSets would be able to adjust their pricing depending on the intended use of the software. This would be beneficial to businesses with limited budgets. Currently, the cost of StreamSets is the same regardless of the amount of backup, which is costly.
The overall cost is very flexible so it is not a burden for our organization. We have a dedicated budget for it. It saves us 30 to 50 percent. However, the cost should be improved. For small and mid-size organizations it might be a challenge.
I imagine the pricing is moderate because our company is renewing its license, but I'm not sure about the exact price. There are no hidden costs that I have come across.

There are two editions, Professional and Enterprise, and there is a free trial. We're using the Professional edition and it is competitively priced. I wouldn't say it's cheap or moderate, but it's also not a high price.

We use the free version. It's great for a public, free release. Our stance is that the paid support model is too expensive to get into. They should honestly reevaluate that. We tried to go and get them to look at their licensing and support model and they said they were not interested in reevaluating that in any way.
There are different versions of the product. One is the corporate license version, and the other one is the open-source or free version. I have been using the corporate license version, but they have recently launched a new open-source version so that anybody can create an account and use it. The licensing cost varies from customer to customer. I don't have a lot of input on that. It is taken care of by PMO, and they seem fine with its pricing model. It is being used enterprise-wide. They seem to have got a good deal for StreamSets.
StreamSets Data Collector is open source. One can utilize the StreamSets Data Collector, but the Control Hub is the main repository where all the jobs are present. Everything happens in Control Hub.

We are running the community version right now, which can be used free of charge. We were debating whether to move it to the commercial version, but we haven't had the need to, just yet.

The pricing was reasonably economical and easy for us to afford when we engaged with StreamSets. It was not part of Software AG at that time.

From what I hear from my team, I believe it's moderately priced because they're happy with the pricing.

It has a CPU core-based licensing, which works for us and is quite good.
