If the various HW elements are from the same vendor, a monitoring solution provided by that vendor or its partners will potentially result in lower licensing and operational costs. Moreover, for very large environments the buyers should estimate the total probe cost as a percentage of the total solution cost and compare it to other monitoring systems also.

The licensing cost is quite expensive. Obviously, then there's the maintenance portion on top of the license cost, and then there is the support cost for the product suite. That's it as the in cost, but we need infrastructure to run it on. We need support engineers to configure it as well and implement use cases. On pricing, I would not rate the solution higher than a five out of ten, with ten being the most cost-effective since the solution is quite expensive.

Its license cost is a little bit more than other solutions. Our customers expect a standard market price that is comparative to other products. For each and every NetCool OMNIbus component, we have to purchase a separate license. These components are not free with the product.
Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus provides near real-time service assurance for business infrastructure, applications, servers, network devices and protocols, Internet protocols, storage and security devices.
I would rate the pricing for IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus as three, where one is a high price and ten is a low price.

It is a costly solution.

The pricing is a bit high.
