Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
Watch out for hidden licensing and incredibly high annual maintenance costs. We paid about $7,000 for the Cisco firewall, plus another small Cisco router and the lead switch. It was under the combined license. It's a final agreement. The cost is a big factor for us. This is why we are using it only in our restricted area. They are very much higher than their competitors in the market. Licensing is expensive compared to other solutions. Pricing is high, but it is essentially a corporate decision. The cost is a bit high compared to other solutions in the market. Cisco recently has become very expensive. The cost is a bit higher than other competitive solutions on the market. | The price of this solution is more than other products, but it's stable, and the technical support is better than I have seen with others. There was no additional licensing cost because there were no IPS services. It was just a firewall IP circuit router so they have the default licensing. We just need to renew the support yearly. While the price of support is expensive, the price of the solution, itself, is not. The pricing is perhaps half, probably forty percent, of Cisco. The direct support with Juniper is expensive. When you stop using the solution and miss one year of payments, if you want the support back on a specific node, they ask you to pay for the year that you haven't used the node. In terms of pricing, Juniper is in the middle. The most expensive firewall is Palo Alto. If a customer wants the cheapest price they should go for FortiGate. Juniper is in between these products. It has a low price. It is not that expensive. | Information Not Available |
