Fortinet FortiWeb Pricing

AJ
Security Specialist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

When I use any other firewall, I have to take a license. It could be a perpetual license or subscription-based. In both cases, we have to pay some amount in advance, whereas in the case of FortiWeb, when using it as a service, I am paying half a dollar only for the domain name, and then I am paying based on the traffic or the number of requests. In every organization, there are some applications that are heavily used, and there are some applications that are not heavily used. So, why go with a yearly, three-yearly, or five-yearly plan when you can just pay based on the traffic that WAF is processing? Previously, for each project, the cost was $800 to $1,000 per application. Now, it's $100 to $120. For some of the applications, there is a 90% reduction, and for some of the applications, there is a 50% reduction. We're paying only $500 to $600.

The pricing is in the middle. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It feels like a justified cost for the features, but it might get more expensive in the future. Also, keep in mind that Check Point's support contracts are particularly expensive.

In general, there is additional cost for support. But Fortinet support is generally cheaper than Check Point support. Palo Alto is even more expensive. This information is publicly available – you can compare comparable hardware and support contracts on their websites. 

Check Point tends to be the most expensive. This is just general information, and my understanding might not be perfectly accurate.

FortiWeb is transparent about how much each application costs. When you create an application, it will tell you the estimated cost. The licensing is clear, so we can see that we're getting a good value. 

We're satisfied with the price. Our organization sometimes questions if we're getting our money's worth, but we get a decent value from FortiWeb for the price. Everyone on our team and within the infrastructure area is happy with it.

The solution is very inexpensive when compared to F5 Advanced WAF and Avi Networks but offers the same benefits. 

Our one-year license is $24,000 Canadian and includes all users. We are very satisfied with the solution's licensing strategy.

FortiWeb offers these services at a price that SME customers can afford, but it's also suitable for large enterprises. Still, they need to put in more work to gain a greater share of enterprise business because they face stiff competition in this segment from F5, Cloudflare, and some others.

We still don't know what the real cost will be because the pricing is based on traffic, and the solution isn't in production. However, we expect it to be cheaper than the Azure Web Firewall.

Regarding the price-performance ratio, the solution is definitely worth the money.

The pricing is pretty good. We do pass a lot of traffic through our API servers. Something like 100 gigs of web traffic is a fair amount for reduced JSON API calls, but the cost is $50. For that peace of mind, we have thousands and thousands of customers that are protected by that $50, so it's a no-brainer.

The pricing could be better. They charge a bit more. That's why F5 is everywhere right now. The customer can see that F5 is stable and everything is working well, and then they see the price, and it's very attractive to them.

The price of Fortinet FortiWeb depends from customer to customer because some customers are considering using other solutions, such as Imperva. The price of Fortinet FortiWeb sits well for the middle-sized customers that we deal with.

The price is based on our partner model, we are able to negotiate a good discount on GPR because we're also selling the firewall appliance.

Its subscription prices are cheaper, and it is not very expensive. From a price perspective, Fortinet is a very well-known security vendor.

Subscriptions are very simple. They have a couple of licenses on an appliance, and that's it. The cost is not that big. One license is 40K, which they give with all the products. Another one includes the subscriptions for threat prevention, IPS, sandboxing, etc, which is more than enough.

In a high availability cluster configuration, where the primary FortiGate is working and the secondary is a backup, Fortinet requires us to buy two licenses instead of one whether we are actually using it or not. With other products, you only purchase one license because we only use one license per instance.

I think that ForiWeb is expensive for what they are offering. At the end of the day, when you sell a suite, compliance within the suite is easy to maintain. That is the good part. It is an expensive suite and it is an expensive solution, but it is a manageable one for an enterprise. It should just be cheaper for what they are offering in comparison to other tools on the market.

Pricing and licensing are USP of this solution; deploying an appliance provides in-house control and flexibility. A dedicated 4000E appliance is appropriate for large enterprises, while Fortinet also provides a VM-based solution, which is perfect for small and medium enterprises.

SC
Director at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

It keeps changing, but it's based on the size of the VM you buy and also the traffic throughput you want from it, whereas what we have on Azure is just the traffic throughput. You can also pay on a monthly basis from Azure. During each part of the project, it's okay to get Azure-based licensing or AWS-based licensing for FortiWeb, but over time, you would want to go with the perpetual license. You should go to Fortinet and buy the license from them. So, there is a two-step process there.
