Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The setup cost, pricing, and licensing are on the high side."
"The price of the Forescout Platform is expensive. I purchased it for approximately 94 lakhs."
"Devices with multiple IP's count multiple times against your license count."
"We paid between $20,000 and $25,000 for a three-year license with maintenance."
"The fact that we were allowed to spin up as many servers as we had need of to support our geographic requirements while paying for licensing as an enterprise truly set Forescout apart from the crowd and improved the way we could design our access."
"We went with the virtual appliance option. The biggest cost to running these types of appliances would be to either have multiple virtual appliances at every data center or running Remote SPAN hardware to provide you the real-time network visibility."
"Forescout's pricing is noted for its attractiveness, with potential discounts depending on partnership levels."
"The tool's pricing is expensive but reasonable."
