The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price. To someone who is researching DDoS protection solutions but wants to go with the cheapest solution on the market, I would say that the product protection comes first and the cost comes second.

Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side. While researching DDoS solutions and looking for the most affordable option, I'd recommend considering Radware DefensePro even though it might not be the cheapest because opting for the absolute cheapest solution can come with a lot of drawbacks. These budget options often have security vulnerabilities and hidden weaknesses that could leave networks more exposed during an attack. DefensePro offers additional features and stronger overall network protection, making it a more secure choice in the long run.

The solution offers good quality for the price. I prefer low investment expenditures. I prefer paying less at the beginning of the project. After the customer base starts growing, I can pay more. This solution is moderately priced. I would rate it three out of five.
The price varies by use case and there are monthly and annual licensing options. If you deploy on-premise, there is an annual license with the amount dependent on the throughput you need and which features you will be using - i.e. IPS, behavioral, etc.

The solution is expensive. it is not a cheap option. The DefensePro is not a cost-effective solution. It's very expensive. I have a lot of schools - K through 12 school districts. They want DDoS protection. When you're comparing it with a cloud service, which is a new emergent thing, a lot of ISPs offer it. However, if customers want to get their own DDoS protection, you have Cloudflare, who I think is Radware's biggest competitor, and they offer everything in the cloud. If you need something on-premises, it's going to be more expensive. I did a price comparison between Cloudflare and this product, the three gig model, which is the minimum. What we needed was way too expensive, way over the budget for our client.

The price was well over six figures. There are ongoing monthly costs for when they monitor the line and then if you activate the service then there is an additional cost. Essentially, you hold them with a retainer fee, and then when you go active, there could be an additional cost associated.

It is expensive. I would rate it a 7 out of 10 for pricing.
It is a good option for those who are looking for on-premises protection against DDoS attacks.
Radware DefensePro is expensive when considering the issue we have and its limitations. We pay for an annual license and also for the support service.
We generally sign on for three-year contracts, which generates good discounts for us.
The licensing cost is about $50,000.

Currently, the pricing is quite reasonable. We have no complaints when it comes to the cost of the solution.
There is a different team the deals with pricing, licensing, and subscriptions. I don't have any knowledge as to the overall costs.

The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected.
The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform.
The product isn't cheap but it is also not expensive. It is affordable. It does the job we need it to do well. We lease on a yearly basis.
