SolarWinds on-premises operation management products get subscription-based pricing in addition to perpetual licensing, an option the company says offers greater flexibility for customer operational expenses.
The coronavirus (aka Covid-19) pandemic has further amplified the challenges IT pros face to do more with less in terms. In addition, SolarWinds says, companies need to ensure products are not only easy to use, but also easy to buy, and fit the needs of any budget. Enter subscription-based pricing to deliver flexibility and support the principles of easy to try, easy to buy.
The subscription-based pricing offers the same level of functionality as versions purchased via perpetual licensing. It is easy to try, with up to 30-day free trials of operations management software, and can be deployed on-premises or in any private or public IaaS cloud environment. The addition does not impact customers with existing perpetual licensing.
“As leaders worldwide reevaluate budgets to answer today’s challenges, this evolution in pricing across our IT operations management portfolio also directly responds to input from our IT pro community who need greater flexibility and a lower barrier to entry,” the company says. “With subscription pricing, SolarWinds continues to fulfill its commitment to deliver simple, powerful, and affordable software to meet the needs of every organisation both where they are today-- and where they’ll grow tomorrow.”
