What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Cisco NGIPS?

The pricing for Cisco Secure IPS (NGIPS) is quite high. They should consider revising the pricing strategies since there are other vendors in the market offering competitive pricing.

Cisco NGIPS is an expensive product.

The tool's licensing costs are yearly.

It is difficult for me to speak about the price of the product since I am unable to compare it with other products in the market that may be its competitors. In our company, we know that the price of Cisco products is high, especially for its switches, routers and IOS. The price of Cisco products may be twice its original price if you plan to extend some of its features.

We get cut in price since we use other Cisco products. We have the whole bundle of Cisco solutions.

The solution is good value for money. It is highly-priced but competitive in terms of features and support services.

I would rate the pricing of this solution a seven, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

When it comes to pricing you pay for a permanent licensing structure. One, three, and five-year options. There are no extra costs.

I do not have details about the licensing costs. It has a user-based license and a different model license because it is modular software.

The annual licensing tends to be expensive, but in terms of implementing the licenses, it's a very uncomplicated process and as easy as copy-paste in its straightforwardness. Regarding the affordability of the licensing, if you buy licenses on a yearly or quarterly basis, you might not find much return on investment, but at the same time you will have a better product with regular upgrades and less network interruptions, so this has to be weighed against the costs.

Cisco NGIPS licensing is yearly. I would rate the pricing four out of 10, one being very expensive and 10 very cheap.

There is a license required to use Cisco NGIPS and it can be a one or three-year license.

I would rate the pricing 4 out of 5.

I would rate the price of Cisco NGIPS a three out of five. They are very expensive in some places and not reasonable at times for many customers. I have had customers choose another solution because of the high price.

You do need to pay a licensing fee. If you want the additional features, like prevention or integration with extended intelligence systems, you need to pay additional licenses.

The weakness of Cisco Firepower is the cost. Some of the customers see it as very expensive.

We pay for the IPS license to use this solution.

The solution is pricey, but worth it.

It could be less expensive. We do pay for licensing yearly, but since it is at its end of life, there are no license implications until we purchase a new solution.

The pricing could be improved. Our customers have a yearly license.

The licensing can be billed annually or in multi-year contracts such as three, four, or five years.

I'm not sure of the licensing costs, I know we have a three-year subscription.

It is expensive. It has separate licensing for all the features, and every feature set seems to require another license. Licensing is on a yearly basis. There are no additional costs besides the standard licensing fee.

Cisco products are not cheap and this solution is no different. However, the price of all of the Firepower is part of a bundle when you buy the actual firewall, the Cisco firewall. It is part of the whole bundle package, but Firepower IPS itself has its own costs. We are on a yearly license and the price depends on the environment, we pay approximately $33,000. The solution has additional components, and each one of the components cost extra.

There are licensing fees depending on the features that you are using.

The cost of the license depends on the level of support that you have with Cisco.

The price is a little high in comparison to other similar solutions. If we talk about Sophos Firewall with IBM software, it's cheaper in comparison to Cisco and their VirtualBox.

Pricing depends on negotiation with the vendor, although I can say that it is moderate. I would not say that it is very high or low, but rather, average.

This is an expensive product, with the biggest cost being the license that keeps the service going.

The pricing is actually pretty high, especially if you compare it to other solutions that are out there. They are comparable but cost less.

Cisco products are always expensive, but if you can afford the price then it's a great solution. When I compare to Sophos, for example, Sophos is cheaper.

Licensing fees for this solution are $3,500 USD, and there are no additional costs.

The price for additional throughput is the highest in the industry.

The solution has a high cost. In my opinion, the cost of renewal is a bit too high.

We buy the licensing on a yearly basis, when we renew our contract. It is around $14,000.
