What are the licensing costs of Elasticube, Elasticube Manager, and Sisense ElastiCube?

It is difficult to determine exactly what a license of Elasticube, Elasticube Manager, and Sisense ElastiCube costs because it depends on the country, the number of users (or the number of CPUs in the case of server software), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you do this a few weeks before the end of Sisense’s fiscal quarter, you may be in for a decent discount. In addition, it makes sense to run the software in the cloud, for the most part, you only pay for your consumption then. The purchase cost of Elasticube, Elasticube Manager, and Sisense ElastiCube may not be the single largest expense, but maintenance and support do show up in your budget every year.
