Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing needs to be such that they are more competitive with other vendors. There are additional costs, such as the cost associated with the different hardware required for implementation and deployment. Along with the add-on apps, these are all additional costs, and they require licensing as well. In terms of additional costs, it depends on the subscription that you choose. There are plenty of options to choose from. Our licensing costs for this solution is on a yearly basis. It's too expensive. The licensing is also a little bit difficult to understand because you have to license it per event and per number of flows. QRadar is quite expensive. It wouldn't be worth it for a small business... I would like for them to lower the price. The pricing is good. | Information Not Available |
