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.

Review the recommended system requirements in the On-Premise Deployment 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.
