Cisco Secure Network Analytics Pricing
From what I've seen when using the Cisco ecosystem, you can get some good value from the licensing. But there are products out there like Cisco Firepower, for which the license is expensive. We are very much trying to move away from Firepower specifically because of the pricing. It's just not good value for us.
Today, the company is part of the big Cisco ELA, and it is a la carte. We can get orders for whatever we want. At the end of the day, we have to pay for it in one big expense, but that is fine. We are okay with that.
One of the things which bugs me about Lancope is the licensing. We understand how its licensing works. Our problem is when we bought and purchased most of these Lancope devices, we did so with our sister company. We bought a ton of product. Somewhere within the purchase and distribution, licensing got mixed up. This is all on Cisco, and it is their responsibility. They allotted some of our sister company's equipment to us, and some of ours to them. To date, they have never been able to fix it. We still see this license issue pop up on our screen.
NetFlow is very expensive.

The solution is expensive. It costs several hundred thousand dollars per year (depending on how many flows you are collecting).

The licensing costs are outrageous, but Stealthwatch has a good time to value.

This is an expensive product. We have quit paying for support because we don't want to have to upgrade it and keep paying for it.

One thing to keep in mind is that pricing is based on flow. If your environment is a Cisco shop, there should be an option to bundle it with certain purchases.

This is an expensive solution and the license is expensive. The cost is an area where a lot of clients are a little uncomfortable. The license cost is based on the size of the environment you're managing.

It has a subscription model. There is yearly support, and there is also three-year support. It depends on what the customers want.

This solution is a little expensive. Open-source is obviously a key to victory in some people's eyes but with open-source, you can't pay anybody. So it could be a little cheaper, but it has great functionality.

The licensing model for Cisco Stealthwatch can make it difficult for using to get the most out of the solution.
We looking or determining if Cisco Stealthwatch is an expensive or inexpensive solution is difficult because it is relative. However, the licenses are able to be purchased at different intervals, such as annually or every three years. The licensing is generally based on, features or sub-product categories.
There are additional licenses needed for the number of so-called network flows. It's hard to plan the number of flows you need in the network, this is a problem. The price of the Cisco Stealthwatch is relatively inexpensive.
Licensing is done by flows per second, not including outside (in traffic).

For our organization, it is cheap, but for other customers, it may be fairly expensive.
As we are resellers of Cisco Stealthwatch, we hope to save time, money, and administrative costs once we start selling more of these solutions.
It is worth the cost.
