We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is not cheap. It is based on licenses per port. After licensing is purchased, you only pay for support."
  • "We pay for port licensing and support on a yearly basis, and it's not cheap."
  • "The vendor price is fair."
  • "The licensing module should be reviewed to count the number of devices instead of port numbers of total switches. There is a case for this where not all ports for a switch are used by devices. Unused ports are calculated in the license, then the customer pays for license for those unused ports."
  • "The users are not very happy with the new licensing option where there is only a subscription license. There is no perpetual license."
  • "The tool is more expensive than Fortinet."
  • "The solution is very expensive and I would rate it 10 out of 10."
  • "It's not cheap. It's not expensive. It's in the middle."
