The pricing could be improved. The tool is not cheap, but it is not too expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten. We get what we pay for.

I rate the product cost a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price. I haven't seen any additional payments being made apart from the licensing cause attached to the product.

VMware Horizon View pricing is high compared to other solutions. I rate it two out of ten. Its licensing costs are monthly.

The pricing depends on the use cases. It depends on the company's needs and budget. For us, it was okay, not too expensive.

My company deals with customers who use both subscription-based and perpetual licenses. For long-term use, perpetual licenses are more cost-effective, and for short-term use, subscription-based would be more cost-effective. Price-wise, I would say that VMware Horizon View's prices are comparable to that of Citrix, but Horizon View comes with some underlying licenses.

VMware Horizon View is an expensive product. My company needs to opt for a subscription-based pricing model when it comes to the licensing costs attached to the product.

The solution's pricing depends on certain factors. It would be best if you know which components you are looking for, as you may have other hardware costs. It is recommended if users want to use the VMware HPE as the hypervisor.

The solution has a higher price than competitors. The price could be more flexible for clients.

I cannot provide a detailed comment on the pricing; however, I can say that it is quite expensive. The licensing for VDI is divided into multiple modules, including standard and enterprise options. There are different types of licensing available for VDI.

The pricing can be a challenge because certain features are not standard and require a separate license. The solution can be costly for customers who do not run mission-critical applications or who have less than 50 users. For these use cases, we recommend alternative products.

The product has high license costs. I cannot give an exact figure on the price as our procurement department handles this. However, we would rate the licensing fees a nine out of ten because of how high it is.

The pricing can be relatively competitive, but sometimes you have to go back to VMware and ask for additional discounts. You can make it competitive If you're prepared to put in the work. The list prices and standard discounts may not be competitive, but if you push hard enough, you can get the price to where you need it to be. When you deploy the solution, the goal is to reduce normal operating costs by making it easier to keep your devices updated and patched. Obviously, there are hardware costs for running virtual machines, so there are additional costs depending on where you're running it, especially if you're using the standard hybrid cloud. If you use the Horizon Cloud, it's a different pricing model.

The product requires a Microsoft license for the operating system, which is standard. If you want support and upgrades, you pay for that.

The initial startup costs for this solution are relatively high. Licensing and hardware outsourcing is expensive, but can be cost-effective in the three to five-year range.

It's not cheap but compared to constant hardware refreshes it doesn't take long to pay itself back. Don't be afraid to search out your own solution. It's not that hard to architect a viable virtual desktop environment. You don't have to implement each and every feature.
