The product is quite expensive. However, it can be worth the investment if you have the budget and require advanced data visualization and analysis. I rate the pricing a nine.
I work with the tool's free version. The tool has helped us very well in all our purposes. The tool is very expensive for corporations that are adjusting the software that they use. I worked for a company called Old Mutual. When my country became independent, a lot of the big companies were a bit scared because they thought that because of the new government, South Africa was separate, and there was a very bad system where it was only for whites. When the country changed, a lot of these companies were scared because they obviously had been practicing this kind of apartheid, and so had to relocate. Old Mutual was a British company, and lots of British companies relocated to the UK. Subsequently, I see they have come back to South Africa. I worked at Old Mutual for a long period of ten years. Now I work for a small company that is related to the farming area. The tool's corporate version is very expensive and requires a monthly hire. I don't know what the payment arrangements are, but I mean, it's pretty it's the product. You can buy it out like you buy other software, and then the tool belongs to you. You have to hire it. You are tied in as long as you use the product. So, I think that may be one of the reasons why these big corporations are all trying to save money. They would go where they can get similar value for money, or in terms of the computer or processing needs, but where the money is much less. Everything is expensive today, and it all depends on the exchange rates. At one point, my country had an exchange rate of the dollar or the pound, which was very much equal. I think that in one space, they wanted to keep it that way, but subsequently, I don't know if it was because of oil sales or something, they resorted again to exchange rates where factors like imports and exports, your country's balance of payment or so. The exchange rate between currencies was completely dependent on what you bought and what you sold. Suddenly, from two ZAR for a GBP, there were changes, and it went to twenty ZAR for a pound, so you can imagine what it does to poor countries. If ten is the best price and one is very expensive or not affordable, I rate the tool a five out of ten. I think it's an overpriced tool. The tool is losing out on its client base because people are looking for cheaper alternatives.
We are currently renewing the subscription. It's approximately $114,000 US dollars per year. I would rate the pricing a three out of five. We have the cloud price to maintain the solution, as well.

Customers do have to pay for a license, as well as for Enterprise Guide, Data Integrations Studio, and so on. I do not recall any project without paying for some sort of SAS solution unless you are just implementing a small POC. That can happen. Once the POC is over and the company goes into the production environment, they need to pay.

We pay a little over $10,000 for an annual enterprise license. It gives us an unlimited number of users but we're questioning whether it's worth the cost if we can't get users on board. There is some tech support included in that, but it's minimal. If we require upgrading or we're having some specific troubleshooting issues like embedding the analytics, we get charged for it.

It's about an average of five. It's easy to scale, but it comes with cost.
