One of the advantages of Cisco is its range of flexible licensing options. Whether customers are seeking a lighter version or a comprehensive feature set, Cisco offers various licensing tiers to accommodate different use cases. This versatility ensures that customers can tailor their solutions to their specific needs without overcommitting. Additionally, since most features can be enabled or disabled through licensing, customers have the flexibility to activate additional functionalities as needed without requiring a complete replacement of their existing setup.

The solution’s pricing is reasonable. The licensing cost depends on the versions, the capacity we need, and the licensing model. We pay separately for each Cisco tool. We use many Cisco products. When we procure a Cisco license or a product, we procure a three-year subscription cost and capitalize it with the procurement of the product. After three years, we pay an annual subscription fee for the products.

I would say it's quite an expensive product. However, it could be considered relatively cheaper when compared to some other vendors in the market. I would say it's around six out of ten, so it's quite pricey. The license cost was approximately $148,000 for a two-year or three-year usage period. Personally, I have not paid any additional costs because I started working after the licensing was already in place.
The price of the solution is expensive. We do not have to pay more than the standard licensing fees. I rate the price of the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center a six out of ten.
