Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Its pricing is good. One thing that has always attracted us to the Fortinet range of products is that their pricing is very competitive. Our particular licensing is on a yearly basis. However, as part of this project, we did pre-purchase three years of maintenance and support at a fairly significant discount."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
"It is a yearly subscription license. I don't see a problem with the pricing. Resellers add their markup and then give it to us, but I don't see that as a major challenge. It is fine."
"The product has average pricing."
