SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability is device-based. How many devices we want to bring on board determines the cost. Technically, we have built multiple clusters based on the regions that we want to locate. One is in the EMEA region, one is in Asia, and one is in the America region, and we have put them into the data centers. From there, the information gets pulled into SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability. Based on that structure, the licensing would work. Based on the regions, the pricing and the vendor, the price quotations are different. We approached SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability directly and the quotation that they gave was a very expensive one. We reached out to CDW and the price that CDW gave us is very effective and comes under our budget. We went to CDW and bought it.

Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, we engaged with SolarWinds through a partner, and negotiations were conducted by our procurement team. We received a discount initially, but noticed that pricing changed upon renewal, leading to some confusion. The new pricing models lack clarity in communication, bundling services that we may not actually need, leading to unnecessary costs. This issue is more pressing in Africa, where companies prefer to pay in local currency instead of dollars, though I understand the pricing rationale.

I do not have information about pricing, setup cost, and licensing for SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability because those aspects were handled by a different team in the organization.
The solution's pricing is quite reasonable. It has moved to node-based licensing, simplifying the process. They don't distinguish between different types of nodes, such as server nodes, physical routers, or switches. One node equals one license, making it easy to manage. If you have 500 devices, you need five hundred licenses to get all the features of this unified monitoring platform.

It is fairly priced compared to competitors.
The pricing is mid-segment, which means it is neither cheap nor expensive compared to other products.
