We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Cisco has a model called ELA. With ELA, if you buy the solution you will have the complete security portfolio and you can pay it yearly or after three years, it depends on the contract. Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis. Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Our costs were negotiated, and they are okay. There is a one-time cost of approximately $800 USD per user, and then a yearly support fee of about $50 per user. The price could be lower. The product is pricey compared to Cisco Firepower. It needs a better price point. | Information Not Available |
