TSM License Pricing

What's up with IBM license pricing being insanely high? It doesn't help when the Netbackup reps are willing to give their product away (free Crap is still Crap!). I've heard of numerous HUGE accounts looking into Netbackup, and with Symantec basically giving it away, how do you stop management from considering it? With IBM's pricing out of control it doesn't help. I sure hope IBM reconsiders their pricing...it's forcing people off of TSM.

    Not to mention the performance issues on all non-Windows clients in 5.4 and above, security issues, etc. etc. And you have a recipe for migration. I wish I knew how to get a hold of the folks who set the pricing, to help them understand what their current path is actually costing them.

    The licensing problem is only pushing people away. I mean lets face it management cares about the bottom line and if it means saving half a million or more on licensing TSM over veritas then they will...damn the admins who have to do the conversion. IBM software sales needs to get its head out of its ass and figure out how to work with customers.
