The product is easy to use and reasonably priced, but the upgrades make the network slower
The filtering rules are valuable. The product is easy to use There is no protocol for VPN in Android. It would be good if the product added a protocol for VPN. The upgrades make the network slower. I have been using the solution for four years. I rate the product’s stability a seven out of ten.…

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is competitive with other solutions."
"Its price could be better."
"On a scale of one being cheap and ten being expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight."
"Its pricing is fine. It is on a yearly basis. Other than the licensing fee, there is no extra fee."
"The price of the license and warranty can be better because it is very expensive."
"The price of FortiGate is comparable to that of most other firewall solutions and is more affordable than Cisco."
"The main reason we chose Fortinet FortiGate was that the price was better than the competition."

"It's pretty expensive in licensing costs, especially if you use the product longer than one or two years. The licensing costs are still high, which I don't think is reasonable for a product like this."
"There's a one-time fee. For KerioConnect, it's just a server. With KerioControl, you have an option. You can virtualize it on a VMware system or have the hardware. I think mid-range or desktop KerioControl hardware could cost around 2000 dollars for a 25 user client. You need annual renewal for additional features like antivirus."
"I think it is a bit on the pricey side, but it's okay. I've got 50 licenses which I think is $250 a year or something like that."
"It is a good fit for SMBs because of its maintainability. When you want to keep your costs low, then Kerio Control is a very good solution. It's not an expensive product that is well integrated. It has a complete set of features within it that make it a very strong product."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. For additional costs, you can add on more features such as antivirus."
"Our clients see ROI with Kerio Control, as they are saving bandwidth costs."
"Search and compare."
"The price is fine."
