I think it's expensive because you have to pay for the licenses to IBM and all that and maintain them. And I think it's quite pricey, but I don't deal with that, so I'm not sure.

You do have to pay for a license per person. It is worth the money given the market options. There's good compatibility between you and your clients that makes it valuable.
We have to pay for a license. I think it's a one-time payment as my company hasn't notified me about more charges. I don't think it's expensive for large corporations, but it will be costly for an average person.

It is very expensive. With five being the most expensive, I would rate it a five out of five. I am not sure why it is so expensive, but one license will cost approximately $15,000 in US dollars.
I would tell them to be very cautious about how they initially import their requirements into the product because that initial import seems to carry more weight and effect than I would have anticipated.
I don't have much information about pricing. I do know that our organization bought more licenses than we need, however, so we can easily add more people to the solution when we need to.

IBM is a bit too expensive in terms of pricing. Customers are paying a lot for the license, and the price is quite high for this kind of environment. It is quite high as compared to what we can get today with other solutions.
All my clients are running under a special agreement using a client-server version of the DOORS product where they get a discount on the product and then only pay maintenance. They pay the maintenance on a yearly basis. They are mostly huge companies and this is partly how they were able to get this special agreement. It works well for them because we have informed the clients how they could reduce their maintenance costs.

I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very affordable and ten being quite expensive. It was a little bit expensive.
The licensing cost is too high.
The pricing is quite high. We didn't pay for additional support. We didn't need it. They helped us without any cost in the installation part.

I don't personally know what the numbers are. I just know that one of the reasons we've limited it to three seats is a function of cost.
It is not cheap. It is expensive to onboard additional licenses.

This is an expensive solution. Licensing fees are billed annually and there is no support included with what I pay.

It is very expensive. But, it depends on the project. The project must warrant the expense paid.
