Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable."

"The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."

"As far as I'm aware, in our case, it's just a yearly pricing arrangement with no additional licensing costs."

"It is expensive. You need to pay for the subscription every year, which is very expensive. The subscription includes technical support and hardware exchange in case of failure."

"Setup cost may be not so low, as you expect, because it depends on different factors, but TCO for 5 years may pleasantly surprise you."

"It is cost-effective, and provides a good value for your money. The pricing, and license renewal, is very reasonable for us."

"By default, they give SD-WAN along with the firewall. They don't have separate licensing for the SD-WAN functionality. However, they have security licenses that are sold separately on a subscription basis. Customers can consume these security features to protect their users from internet traffic."

"The price is fair compared to the other competitors."
