I don't have the exact cost on hand right now as that's something I tend to negotiate in my new year. Thus far, I didn't pay for it. That's going to happen mid-January or something like that. What I was told, by the person who had it before me was that when he made the comparison with other tools, it was cheaper due to the fact that now I basically have the SUSE Manager to manage all environments. In the past, he had Spacewalk to manage the SUSE stuff, and then he had Satellite to manage the record stuff and he had Landscape to manage the Ubuntu stuff. When he consolidated everything, he saved a lot of money. One of the biggest benefits would be that it incorporates multiple managers in one platform saving you on licensing for multiple solutions. That said, at this time, I don't even know how much it's going to cost as they've changed the pricing this year. I got an email back in the summer saying that, in the past, I would pay for the server and then all the clients. Now, I don't have to pay for the server and then the clients anymore. I just have a flat fare where I can deploy as many servers as I want and everything will be included at the same price. The reality is that the server that I'm using right now is only 12 GBs of RAM and I'm considering doing an upgrade to 24GBs. When you include more functionalities and more features, you certainly need more resources. For me, the hardware would be the only real additional cost.

I recommend getting SUSE or a partner involved to help with pricing. It can be for budget or project.Â
I do recommend that the partners look into the various discount options available, such as partner level, partner deal registration, and then working with the team to drive a price that will suit your budget needs.
I also recommend that one includes a small service portion to help you onboard/enhance your solution to give you faster ROI.

We have purchased a license for SUSE. I can't speak to the exact price.
