We have a three-year contract with Radware. It is beneficial to have a longer-term contract because you can obtain more discounts. It seems to be a much cheaper alternative. We use their Gel Elastic License (GEL). It allows us to integrate what we need. With this licensing model, we have a lower cost for using Alteon in our company. Radware does not force us to use everything but only what we really need for our operations. That's why it is quite good. We have saved about 15 percent using the Gel Elastic License, which is actually quite a lot.
Its pricing is very good. It is very competitive. Radware Alteon is the leader in the market. At a lesser price, we get a good product and also good support. Other vendors who provide load balancers charge separately for two items. You have the hardware cost, and you have the support cost, whereas, in the case of Radware, you get both in a single package. We got a margin of up to 25% on the product. We got support almost free of cost. It was a very good deal with Radware. It was a win-win situation at both ends.

I'm content with Alteon's pricing. The licensing is a little bit complicated because it's based on how much bandwidth you want to use, what the throughput is. Instead of having a throughput limit, it just allows whatever the bandwidth is and bases the licensing on vADCs (virtual application delivery controllers) only. That makes it a little bit complicated.
The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better. But the pricing is competitive with, or cheaper than, the other solutions out there. We don't use the GEL (Global Elastic License yet, but we will be moving to it soon.
I do not have specific details about the costs. There is a licensing fee, and they have an SSL transaction license and others. They have two or three licenses that you pay based on the volume.
I have no idea about the price, but the organization I was working for was always looking for economical products. So I would assume the price was quite competitive. I would definitely recommend Radware load balancer to organizations around the globe that don't have a huge budget.

The pricing is much more reasonable than, for example, F5, our old solution. I’m not sure how much the solution costs. However, my understanding is that it is moderately priced. I’d rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability. It’s not cheaper. However, it is less expensive than F5.

The pricing seems reasonable to me for what the solution provides. It is within the parameters of this type of solution.

The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged. The GEL licensing is flexible. The GEL license has helped save us around 25 percent.

Radware is a very budget-friendly device. It is not too expensive.
I do not have specific details about the costs. There is a licensing fee, and they have an SSL transaction license and others. They have two or three licenses that you pay based on the volume.
Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors.
We have a permanent license, not an annual one. I'm unaware of the cost.

It has a good price point and is more reasonable than other comparable products.
The licensing processes are easy and the costs are acceptable. We use permanent licenses and we have not had any problems.
It's very expensive but it's worth it for the computer, system, and network.
