&gt; Try finding a price for one of Oracle&#x27;s or IBM&#x27;s
&gt; enterprise products on their website<p>Not to defend these two but in some cases for IBM you will, if you know the incantation and buzzwords, find the price. For example WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere MQ can be looked up because IBM deals in PVU&#x27;s (processor value unit) and bundled licenses that include support. They do provide a PVU calculator. Of course, you&#x27;ll have to register to get more information or download a demo. It&#x27;s frustrating but not impossible.
