Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
In my previous organization, avoiding four instances of CryptoLocker within an estimated six month period is approximately $600,000 in lost time and effort. Our five year cost was about a million dollars, and the four outages that we had equated to 65 percent of that five year cost. You're going to get what you pay for. If you're not willing to pay the price of Cisco, you're not going to get a product that's as good as Cisco. I don't think Cisco is overpriced, because for the last two years I've been comparing it to Microsoft and Cisco has been cheaper and given us more features. It is not that costly. We pay for the solution through a contractor and pay an annual fee. We were using Proofpoint and then we switched to Cisco... reportability was one of the main reasons we switched, but the biggest one was cost. If you can get an equivalent functionality for a better price it's wise to do so. That's what our primary decision came down to: We could get equivalent functionality at a lower price point. There were no other costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. The license was not per user, the license model was per feature. You could choose anti-virus, anti-spam, etc. It was feature-based and charged yearly. Licensing costs depend on how many users there are. It could range between $5 and $7 per month, per user. Pricing depends on your environment and which model you want to buy. | As far as advanced email security systems, this product is mid-range on the pricing scale. Our licensing fees are approximately $4,000 per year, and this includes updates for the antivirus and spam signatures. The price of this solution is very high, but it's working fine. For overall value and cost, Barracuda came in as most appropriate, price as well as services provided. In terms of price, it's average . It's not the most expensive, it's not the least expensive but it works well. More Barracuda Email Security Gateway Pricing and Cost Advice » | Information Not Available |
