Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's just as expensive as HPE ALM, without many of the features, best used for development tool only to avoid higher costs."
"There is a yearly licensing fee that needs to be paid."
"I wouldn't say that this tool is cheap or expensive but in the middle."
"The solution is expensive."
"I believe we pay on a yearly basis. I don't know the current costs of them. We outsource all that to a third party. Each of the developers gets a Microsoft Visual Studio Azure DevOps license, which gives them access to the TFS server as well. We probably pay on average about 1,800 Canadian Dollars a year for every developer, but that covers a lot more than just TFS."
"TFS is not cheap."
"Microsoft products are always expensive. Obviously, they are quality products, but it would be helpful if there was a reduction in price. But compared to other vendors, I think the cost is high."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
