It is always important to take into account the initial cost, maintenance, support, and licenses. There is a lot of investment that needs to be made, which is why it is important to create a work plan and think about the characteristics that are needed.

Check Point seems to purposely keep pricing and licensing complex. That much complexity is really not needed.

I started with 46 users, and clients were growing to 59 and heading on to 60. That's when I suffered limitations with their licensing. We had to go back and forth with the supplier in this area. It didn't work out well for me or the clients. It wasn't favorable.

The licensing was sold to me as yearly, but at the beginning, I assumed if I was getting the license, that it would be a one-time thing. I didn't like that I had to renew yearly.

Price is 170,000 Shekels/year. Day-to-day is one and a half people for licensing.

I cannot tell you the pricing, but we paid for three years. There aren't any other costs above the standard licensing and fess. We bought it, we use it.

You don’t have to buy the cluster immediately. I waited for a year before buying it. By doing that, I’ve split the budget, and was able to convince my managers to buy the solution.

This cost is between 3,000 and 5,000 euros per year, so some other solutions are cheaper and the pricing should be improved.

Carefully evaluate the predominant type of traffic, SSL or other, as this reflects on CPU and memory usage. It will directly reflect the value of the investment.

The pricing is too high.

The pricing is reasonable for the performance and support we are getting.

Check Point is not cheap when compared to other solutions, but it provides high level security. As an organization we are fully satisfied with this product.

It's pricey, but it provides 100% satisfaction for the money you spend. I don't know about the day-to-day costs, but almost every administrator is happy to use it.

Check Point has always been more expensive than some of the other firewall products. This includes the products, licensing, and support.
