Calculate Your Total Cost of Ownership

On-demand applications save companies upfront and in the long run

Rally’s upfront cost savings are apparent since we eliminate fees for additional servers, operating system licenses, and consulting. Subscription pricing includes everything you need, so that unlike heavyweight point products, you're never surprised by hidden time and technology costs that can quickly add up to many times your original investment.

Use the following checklist to weigh your deployment options.

  Estimated Minimum Deployment Costs
  Rally On-Demand Rally On-Premise Typical Installed Product
Administrator (user support, firewall, server, user configuration, application updates) None ¼ - ½ full time administrator ¼ - ½ full time administrator
Application server hardware $0 $3000 $3000
Additional server layers $0 $495 (VMware ESX server recommended) Unknown
OS $0 $0 (integrated) $800
Database license $0 $0 (integrated) $1900
Automated database backup agents $0 $350 - $500 $1600
Security software $0 $100 - $150 $100 - $150
Performance upgrade per location (optional) $0 $4000 + labor $7500 + labor
Recovery from primary data center failure (optional) $0 $4000 + labor + facility costs $7500 + labor + facility costs
Minimum configuration $0 $4000 ¼ - ½ administrator
help desk support
$7500 ¼ - ½ administrator
help desk support
Recommended configuration (high performance and disaster recovery) $0 $12000 ¼ - ½ administrator
facility costs
$22500 ¼ - ½ administrator
facility costs

Review the recommended system requirements in the Rally Deployment Solutions Guide. A performance upgrade assumes the purchase of an additional installation (server hardware, licenses, OS, backup agents and security software) and the labor to install it at an additional location. Recovery from a data center failure assumes you maintain a separate installation offsite as a back-up.
