Everything is fine with licensing and setup. However, the licensing cost is a little bit too high. If cost is something that can be looked upon, it would be really great.

Initially, the pricing was relatively expensive compared to open-source CI/CD solutions, which made us hesitant. However, once Harness was fully integrated into our workflow, the operational benefits became clear, justifying the investment for our use case, despite the slightly higher cost for smaller teams.
From what I understand with respect to Harness, licensing and setup costs were relatively low for an enterprise, and the pricing was more catered toward enterprises who would invest in the technology. The price that they pay extra for that technology compared to what they would have paid for open-source is then offset by the number of projects they are able to onboard.
Harness offers a comprehensive toolset for automating deployment processes and enhancing software update efficiency. It's lauded for its CI/CD capabilities, feature flagging, and real-time deployment monitoring. Key features include an intuitive UI, secret management, and robust rollback functionalities, all contributing to improved productivity and reduced errors in DevOps environments.

I have not worked on the pricing, setup cost, or licensing cost of Harness, so I have no thoughts on the pricing aspect.
I do not have information on the pricing, setup cost, and licensing as I am working for a client, and it is handled at the organizational level.
