Broadcom did raise their prices but it wasn't the 20-30% that some vendors were mentioning and it did not make sense for us to move just one product away from CA. We also do the multi-year contracts because we know we will need the product and it does bring the costs down.

CAUTION: This email is from an external address. Please be careful of links and attachments. Ron, Thanks for responding, I was just curious. I've heard rumblings that when existing contracts are coming up for renewals, that Broadcom is jacking prices and forcing customers into multi-year contract extensions as well as not lowering the price if the customer drops a product from their portfolio.

We have several CA products and our invoice doesn't show the cost of each so I couldn't tell you what we pay but for us the cost of the several products from CA was worth it and not too expensive where anyone balked about the cost.

I used it many years ago and liked it but haven't had access to a commercial JCL checker in well over 20 years.
