Can you easily determine the licensing costs of SnapLogic Fast Data Loader, SnapLogic Flows and SnapLogic Patterns Catalog?

In many cases, it can be difficult to determine the licensing costs of SnapLogic ETL & Data Integration because it depends on the country, the number of users (also consider the amount of CPUs for server versions), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. And before the end of a fiscal quarter of SnapLogic, you may be able to look forward to a decent discount. In addition, nowadays it is recommended running the software in the cloud. You then only pay for what you actually use in resources.
