Oracle Essbase is a crucial tool. While expenses may not seem problematic every year. I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
The pricing is not cheap. The clients usually have partnerships with Oracle. They have some categories of partnership, and that determines the licensing price. But if it's for a few users and the data volume is not that much, I would recommend other products. Clients with 300+ or 400+ users and a huge volume of data usually acquire Essbase.
It is a costly solution. This is because we require high-performance servers with substantial CPU and RAM capacities to handle our extensive datasets effectively.

Oracle Essbase is an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) Server that provides an environment for deploying pre-packaged applications or developing custom analytic and enterprise performance management applications.
It's not that expensive, but also not cheap. I'm not sure because it's a private license.

The pricing could be cheaper.
The licensing costs are too high. The licensing costs also increase sometimes. They should offer different tiers for customers to choose from.
