Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
Always consider what you might need to reduce your wasted time and invest it in other solutions. There is room for improvement in the pricing when compared to the market. Although, when you compare the benefits of support from Cisco, you can adjust the value and it becomes comparable, because you usually need very good support. So you gain value there with this device. When it comes to Cisco, the price of everything is higher. Cisco firewalls are expensive, but we get support from Cisco, and that support is very active. It's a brilliant firewall, and the fact that it comes with a perpetual license really does go far in terms of helping the organization in not having to deal with those costs on an annual basis. That is a pain point when it comes to services like the ones we have on Fortigate. That's where we really give Cisco firewalls the thumbs up. Cisco is expensive, but you do get benefits for the price. In terms of costs, other solutions are more expensive than Cisco. Palo Alto is more expensive than Cisco. Pricing varies on the model and the features we are using. It could be anywhere from $600 to $1000 to up to $7,000 per year, depending on what model and what feature sets are available to us. We used Check Point and the two are comparable. Cost was really what put us onto the ASAs... the price tag for Check Point was exorbitantly more than what it is for the ASA solution. | We pay approximately €150,000 ($166,000 USD) per year. It is more expensive than other solutions and would be more competetive in the market if it came down in price. On average, it is normally on the lower end, being less expensive than Palo Alto or Cisco. | Information Not Available |
