Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."
"The price is okay."
"Sometimes there is a problem with the number of licenses for the end-user. The number of concurrent users is limited due to a valid license."
"It costs around 80,000 Indian rupees for a hundred licenses, so approximately $1,020 USD."
"We pay for an annual subscription. Additionally to the subscription, we thought in order to connect this solution to the Active Directory we had to purchase a Cisco ACS, Access Control System. It turns out we did not actually need it."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"We have yearly licensing and it's very affordable."
"I am using a paid version of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client."
"There is a license needed to use this solution. There are different licensing models available, such as a three-year license."
"It is expensive and requires proper planning with strategy."
"There are two or three different models, but you can actually have a CapEx where you purchase the unit outright and then there's a yearly maintenance cost on top for years two and three, and four, or you can actually do a subscription purchase through Citrix cloud and you pay on a monthly basis, or you can have a three-year subscription contract as well. I give the solution a six out of ten for its cost."
"Pricing is very high if you do a comparison with what is available in the market."
"Usually with Citrix the issue is the pricing, especially for the African region. We believe it's really expensive."
"I believe the pricing is comparable to SaaS"
"The solution has a yearly licensing fee."
"The price could be lower."
"Citrix is quite expensive."
