Title: "HP vs. Remedy" - License Costs
**

Hello Robert,

 

If you want to buy an HP OV SD, you have to buy the Helpdesk module, and the floating users. That’s all.

The Change module as well as the SLA is charged separately.

 

Even that, for a helpdesk application with 10 floating users, the price of remedy was same as HP or maybe 2,000 USD to 3,000 USD more. This includes only software fees.

 

For the support fees, the remedy support renewal licenses are 9% while HP OV is 18 %.

 

So at the end of the day, the story that says that HP OV is less expensive than Remedy is not true do not forgetting the higher technicalities that remedy has while HP doesn’t.

 

I hope that helps.

Rgds…

Hi Richard,

 

thank you for the information. That is interesting.

 

So that would be the following :

 

Basic HP OV SD license =

- allows use of Incident Module

- allows use of custom made applications/forms ??

 

So the Basic HP OV SD license is compareable to a Remedy user floating/fixed license ? Or do you license the application at HP, not the user ?

 

Does anyone know what a HP ... license costs, compared to the Remedy modules ? I only know the figures of the "normal" Remedy license, never been in touch with the out of the box applications.

 

 

Thanks a lot,

Robert

When we compared HP Openview Service Desk vs. Remedy ITSP there were costs for the various Service Desk modules as well. The base SD license includes the use of the Incident forms, but not the other modules. For us Service Desk appeared to be the more expensive option.

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
