Hello list,
perhaps someone has some insights regarding the following : comparance of License costs between HP OpenView (Service Desk and custom) and Remedy (ITSM and custom).
At a slide it says that HP is doing marketing with saying "we are cheaper" - at a partner's Remedy presentation there was also a slide showing that HP in fact is more expensive ... it was a bad translated one though and therefore the point could not be understood.
To my understanding licensing works the follows :
Remedy
User
- needs a floating or fixed license ( for custom applications, for the general right to access bought applications )
Application
- each module needs a floating license ( AM, CM, ... )
- question : are there fixed/named application licenses for users too ?
HP
User
- general license need for accessing HP OpenView custom applications and/or bought applications ? ( don't know )
Application
- only one SD license is needed, covering all included modules
- there are also named licenses available, so user is licensed as well ?
...so with that basic understanding, Remedy is actually being *way more expensive* due to having to license each module.
Does anyone have any insights regarding the license module comparence, or might be able to explain why Remedy is actually being cheaper ? :-)
Thanks so much in advance,
Robert
