I did not compare the cost of HPE MSA with others because we buy with a framework contract, and HP is the only brand available on that contract, so we have no comparison.

The pricing of HPE MSA is not deemed reasonable, though their licensing costs compare similarly to other brands. The initial cost is where differences are more apparent.
HPE StorageWorks MSA is a bit expensive, starting at over 10,000 euros. This might be a hurdle for small businesses. Lowering the price could make it more accessible, especially when considering alternative, more budget-friendly storage options.

The product has a license, and its cost depends on the features. I rate the product’s pricing a four to five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
I would rate the pricing as nine out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The license costs are based on the number of storage units and then the three-year HPE care.

The price of the solution is a little high and they should provide more competitive pricing. If you want to increases the storage size there are additional fees.
When we bought this solution it was very reasonably priced and they were willing to deal. The ongoing support is expensive and they get a good amount of money, but they are so responsive that I don't mind paying for it.
