What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Fortinet FortiGate-VM?

The solution requires a license. The tool is neither expensive nor cheap, so it is okay.

FortiGate-VM is affordable. In terms of operating costs, we contract with the OEM for a three-year contract and then renew. We haven't received any notice from them because all of our infrastructure is under contract. Every three years, if we cannot get a good price from the vendor, we replace the box.

The price falls somewhere in the middle; it's neither cheap nor expensive. I would rate it five out of ten. When purchasing an appliance, it's essential to acquire the accompanying subscription. This is crucial because frequent updates to antivirus profiles and other features are necessary, often occurring daily. Operating the device effectively requires a subscription from Fortinet, which we consistently purchase.

The product is expensive. Users can opt for a one-year, two-year, three-year, or five-year subscription model when it comes to licensing. There is no need to pay any additional charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution.

The solution is expensive. It could have some versions limited by several users to reduce the price. Else, they could limit the product features, and create some version for a smaller organization with basic requirements. Support is additional and comes apart from the subscription.

I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten.

Cost-wise, I would describe Fortinet FortiGate-VM as a tool that is available for a good price. Two years ago, the price for the license of the product was affordable, but I think that in the present time, there has been an increase in the price of the product by around 30 percent, making it an expensive tool in the process. I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price.

We can tailor the suitable license for the customer, whether they require UTB or enterprise features. The options are flexible based on their needs.

It is a medium-priced product.

The price is pretty decent compared to other products. The product’s licensing must be a little cheaper.

The pricing is really good. The FortiGate licensing model is workable compared to many other providers who license everything. The local partner was there to guide us in structuring the license to keep the costs minimal. At the moment, there are no additional costs associated with the tool.

Initially, the solution's price was high for us. But it decreased on the purchase of more than one license.

I would rate it a five, where one is low, and ten is high. We usually do monthly licensing costs as we don't invest capital and do more OpEx-based pricing.

The license can be purchased at intervals of one, three, and five years. The price of the solution is in the middle range compared to the other vendors. However, the vendor is increasing the price gradually.

The price of the solution is competitive. Fortinet FortiGate-VM had a lot of advantages when it came to pricing. However, the competition has also geared up to a larger extent and it has become comparable now to the other solutions. In terms of security, it is crucial to understand that the cost of security measures should not be the sole determining factor. The security of your overall infrastructure and setup must be a top priority, regardless of the price of security appliances or OEMs. However, when considering the entire solution, including the security infrastructure, the cost will play a crucial role in the final decision-making process. It is imperative to choose the best available options, but the cost of the entire solution should not be exorbitant and prevent it from gaining approval from clients. I rate the price of Fortinet FortiGate-VM an eight out of ten.

We tend to have a three-year contract with Fortigate. While I don't know the exact costs, my understanding is that it is less expensive than some other options.

Licensing is usually on an annual, two-year, or three-year basis. I would rate the product's pricing as four out of five.

We currently have a three-year licensing agreement. There are standard features and you do not have to pay extra fees for extra add-ons.

We have been waiting a long time for the vendor to give us licenses, it has been five months and we are still waiting. However, the price is reasonable.

The license we pay is a yearly fee. I can't say it's very expensive; it is a good price and is highly suitable for our usage.

Our licensing costs are of a general nature. There are no additional costs beyond the standard fee.

Like most similar products in the market, Fortinet's enterprise customers need to pay for annual support. They call it FortiCare, and it's direct support from Fortinet. FortiCare is renewed annually and covers support for new releases, purchases, and updates.

With Fortinet FortiGate-VM you can bring your own licensing, or it can be paid on a yearly basis. Pricing is very flexible.

Pricing is somewhere in the middle. It's a mid-ranged product. There are additional fees with this solution.

For our entire fleet of 120 firewalls, we're paying about $100,000 per year. The licensing fees give you support and the capability to download updated definitions of threat intelligence from Fortinet.

Fortinet is competitively priced, it's cheaper than Palo Alto and Check Point.

At present, the SD-WAN licenses are on an annual basis. We have no specific complaints about the licensing prices.

There is a support fee that can be bought on a yearly or two-yearly basis. I don't think they do five years. The best benefit is that the same pricing is guaranteed for that duration. If you can afford it, I would recommend using the longest possible time span.

The price could be lower. It's expensive.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. It's probably a couple of thousand dollars per firewall. On top of that, if you maintain a hardware warranty, so that you own the devices, you still maintain a warranty on them. There's sort-of a service contract, or you can go at risk. I don't know where we are in that. I'd have to go look, but I know at one point in time we talked about again, if we're going to be doing a tech exchange, maybe we don't want to maintain the warranties on them anymore. The competitors actually have lower prices for more functionality. On the higher side, if you go with Cisco, it's more expensive, however, it's obviously more functional. A Palo Alto is probably a better solution than a FortiGate.

For FortiGate-VM, we mostly have UTP Bundle. MA is for three to five years, but we just discovered that VM is cheaper; we found that it actually costs more than a physical appliance excluding the servers for the platform.

We found the pricing to be okay. It's reasonable and not too expensive.

Our clients tend to deal with the licensing aspects of the solution.

Of all the firewalls that we compared, FortiGate is the cheapest and most affordable, so we are satisfied with the pricing.

We have clients with three-year licensing and others with five. It's not a cheap solution but it comes with its benefits. It's all bundled. When we purchase this product, it is bundled with a support license for that period.

Since we don't primarily work with the solution, I'm not sure what the licensing costs are.

The pricing of the solution is strange. We don't understand exactly how it's calculated or how it works.

The cost of the solution is good.

The pricing of the solution is moderate. It's competitive, although I wouldn't consider it a cheap solution per se. Aside from the licensing, there are some add-ons that need to be added that we personally haven't added. There are features such as content filtering, etc., that we haven't opted for. However, users can add them on if they need to for an additional cost.

With Cisco, licensing is quite complex, but with Fortigate, you simply need to buy a bundle and they give you everything you'll require.

Fortigate is cheaper if you compare it to Palo Alto, a main competitor.

At this time, I'm unsure of what the costs related to the solution are. It's my understanding that support is part of the OEM fee and you do have to pay that yearly. However, it does depend on the arrangements with the OEM.

The price is similar to Symantec Endpoint, but it's more expensive than Forcepoint solutions. Fortinet is better than Forcepoint. I don't see that it's a problem concerning the pricing, but it is expensive for Turkey. We do not pay any additional costs for technical support or additional features.

This solution is very expensive. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

There is a benefit in terms of the cost of using this solution because the price is very good. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.
