We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
"Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
"These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
"Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
"Work through partners for the best pricing."
"The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
"Easy to understand licensing requirements."
"We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW."
"The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."
"Getting licenses in our country, Ghana, is not easy. Though, once we have them, adding them is quick (about a day)."
"SonicWall has authorized distributors in our country. They have about two or three distributors in the country, so it makes it a bit easier. What we do is to request a quotation from these distributors, then we do a value for money analysis and see which one of them is giving us a competitive price."
"The pricing was a factor for us, and we felt that the price was good."
"The product pricing is relatively good, compared to other products, including the licenses."
"Licensing costs have been around $2,000. There are no other costs above the standard licensing fees."
"License renewals come in around $35,000 to $45,000."
"The price is high compared to some other solutions."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to other solutions."
