Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Run a 90 day free Proof of Concept (PoC) for each product by implementing and using it fully in your environment. This way you will be educated on its features, functionality, and manageability."
  • "The cost is perfect because the devices have a lifetime warranty, and the licensing is good as well."
  • "This product is not expensive."
  • "AirWave is a very expensive solution. If you implement it in a wide range network, it will cost a lot. There is no option to sell it outside that price segment, which is a problem."

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "We must buy a new license to connect more devices to scale up the solution."
