  • How/why is Rimini Street different than those competitors or most others in their market?

    Organizations choose Rimini Street over other third-party support providers for three key reasons:

    1) Rimini Street is the proven leader, recognized by industry analysts as the dominant provider of third-party support, with an 86% market share (based on a 2019 Gartner market sizing and 2019 Rimini Street revenue).

    2) Rimini Street is the leader because, since inception, it has been Engineered for Support™, currently with hundreds of support engineers and proprietary support technology to help ensure that clients’ mission-critical systems are secure, running, and compliant at scale. And Rimini Street continues to invest in support advancements.

    3) Rimini Street is trusted and transparent, a publicly held third-party support provider, relied on by some of the most complex, mission-critical organizations in the world, including governments, militaries, and nuclear power operators.

    By comparison, there are smaller, private, cut-rate competitors that are willing to charge less, but have probably not made the same investments that Rimini Street has, to help ensure client success.

    Thousands of software licensees have carefully assessed their third-party support options and have overwhelmingly selected Rimini Street in order to reduce risk, gain peace of mind, and experience exceptional support and savings.

  • Who are Rimini Street’s biggest competitors?

    As an alternative to software vendor support, Rimini Street competes against support from Oracle and SAP. Rimini Street also occasionally competes against two much smaller third-party support providers.

  • What pricing tiers or structure does Rimini Street offer?

    Rimini Street annual support fees are typically 50% of what clients had paid their software vendors for support. Additionally, Rimini Street clients can save up to 90% in total software support and maintenance costs, including the elimination of self-support, upgrade avoidance, and support for custom code.
