Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | Cisco licensing is usually provided on a yearly basis rather than monthly. You can get a hardware SLA or hardware and software SLA for a period of years. Longer terms influence the level of support that you get when it comes to Cisco SLA. The cost model is expensive. I think that the solution is expensive because the customer has to pay for a full year, at a minimum, in up-front costs. Cisco WiFi 1572 is very expensive locally and our budget for this year is used. It's a bit expensive but it's professional and works properly. This product's pricing is good. It's not too expensive. I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The pricing is okay. I believe it is competitively priced. But it is not just the price by itself, it's the price and the technical features. The features also play a big role. It has to give me the relevant output. |
