Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | They are expensive. We purchased through the AWS Marketplace because it was a popular way to go, and we were intrigued. The price of this product is not an issue. They have good pricing and licensing. Unless the price difference is large, this is not the primary concern for the product. The performance and product-related issues (secure for VPN, multi-function for network device, etc.) are the keys. I would recommend that the cost be lowered. If you are planning to use security features, better to go for strong hardware and the best bundle license, which is great for web security. The price is high. We have found the pricing and licensing on AWS to be competitive. Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was good. We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because everything that we needed was a soft appliance. We needed something to work in Amazon, and this product was available there. |
