Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a subscription basis."
"Cisco's pricing is not entirely satisfactory when you compare the SD-WAN solutions in Asian markets — like the South Asian market in Sri Lanka — because there are several competing brands including Fortinet and Citrix, who provide much the same product for a generally lower price. And when it comes to firewall vendors like Palo Alto and SonicWall, they're also selling here. It's the same with VMware, too; they have much the same features."
"Cisco is more expensive than some competing products."
"You have to pay between 3000 and 10,000 euros, or something in that range. The core switches Nexus cost me between 10,000 and 20,000 euros."
"Cost-wise, Cisco SD-WAN is comparatively high."
"The product is not too expensive."
"There is no license required for this solution."
"The cost is reasonable. I would rate the price as seven out of ten."
