The pricing is very good for us, especially since we have a partnership with Cisco. The challenge is the licensing. There are competitors that offer more flexible licensing, such as daily licensing, some offer hourly, but Cisco is locked in for one, three, and five years. We don't have much flexibility, especially if we want to shift applications or shift users at any time. Hopefully, licensing becomes more flexible.

I would like to see more about the pricing of Cisco Secure Firewall or maybe see it enhanced.

Cisco Secure Firewall handles this adequately, but a simpler licensing model would be beneficial, especially when using the firewall in the cloud, since on-premises performance is limited by the hardware being used.

"A couple of days ago, I was working on a project and received a quote for the FTD 1230. For the same level with Palo Alto, even though we had a huge discount with Cisco, it turned out to be more expensive than Palo Alto. The pricing is quite expensive."
