The pricing is slightly higher than expected, but it is manageable for our current project. For the upcoming projects, we are looking for cost-effective solutions.
SUSE Linux Enterprise is reasonably priced compared to other operating systems. I find it's a much better option for us than Oracle, for example, because of the pricing structure. The pricing is easier to explain to clients and makes it easier to get clients' commitment. The licensing is also simpler to manage and keep track of. Their responsiveness is great - they give feedback very quickly when we ask questions about licensing or other aspects. This helps ensure we're always at the gold standard regarding licensing and everything related to SUSE Linux Enterprise.
I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price. In terms of the additional costs attached to the solution, I would say that my company has purchased a few add-ons for SUSE Linux Enterprise, but they are all different products.
The license comes directly from Mitel since it is personalized distribution, and everything depends on that particular distribution. Regarding pricing, everybody would want it to be cheaper. It's not just one person who is working on the solution. So, there are a lot of people who work for that particular software to maintain its high level of valuation, and they should be paid for their work.

In terms of cost, they are cheaper than Red Hat. I'd rate the affordability of pricing six out of ten. For SUSE Linux, currently, we normally use the free versions that come with both patching and support for patching. We normally pay for support whenever we need to, so they'll charge us for every hour after the engineer has connected.

There is a free tier and a paid support tier. If you do not need support, then the solution is free to use. If you need support then there is an option for that as well.
