FAQ
Enterprise Software Benchmarking: Common Questions
How does VendorBenchmark enterprise software pricing data get collected?
VendorBenchmark collects pricing data through three channels: direct client contract submissions (all anonymized under NDA), our analyst network which maintains active relationships in enterprise procurement, and structured analysis of publicly available deal disclosures. All data is validated and normalized before entering our benchmark database.
What enterprise software vendors are covered in the benchmarks?
Our enterprise software category covers 100+ vendors including Oracle (Database, Fusion, Java), SAP (S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Concur), Microsoft (EA, Azure, M365), Salesforce (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Data Cloud), ServiceNow, Workday, and many others. See our full vendor list for complete coverage.
How current is the enterprise software pricing benchmark data?
Our benchmark data is continuously updated as new deal submissions are processed. Enterprise software benchmarks are refreshed at minimum quarterly, with high-volume vendors like Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft updated monthly. Each report shows the data vintage so you know exactly how current your benchmark is.
What is the average discount enterprises achieve on software renewals?
Across enterprise software vendors, our benchmark data shows average discounts of 28-41% off list price for Fortune 500 buyers, with Oracle averaging 31%, SAP 29%, Salesforce 38%, and Microsoft 26%. Actual achievable discounts vary by deal size, competitive dynamics, and negotiation timing.
Is my company's vendor contract data kept confidential?
Absolutely. All client contract data is protected under mutual NDA. Your company identity is never disclosed, and deal-level specifics are anonymized before any data enters our benchmark pool. We are SOC 2 Type II certified, which means our data handling practices have been independently audited and verified.
