Clients find the licensing calculator confusing, but we simplify this for them by collecting relevant information first. The licensing is based on devices, providing better cost-effectiveness than setups with more complex calculations.

WhatsUp Gold is reasonably priced considering how much we are monitoring. There could always be a cheaper option but compared to SolarWinds and others in the market, WhatsUp Gold keeps it at a point where educational customers can afford it. We don't have a lot of budget but we've been able to afford to keep it for eleven years now.
I cannot provide a price rating because we purchased a one-time perpetual license. It's all ours, and we're still enjoying it. We renewed support until last year, but we didn't get benefits from it.

It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it.
There are some subscription charges that are quite heavy. I need to pay for support every year and these charges can be quite expensive. Aside from the initial cost for the tool, you need to pay additionally for support.
We only use the product for monitoring our network devices. We don't look to it to provide security because adding that functionality adds that price to our costs. Overall, the pricing is a little flexible but it can be expensive. It is half good and half not so good. They have different licensing and configuration plans.

There are different versions of WhatsUp Gold, including the premium and standalone versions. The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive. The licensing fees are normally billed on a yearly basis.
