Pricing and licensing for AlgoSec depend entirely on custom quotes based on the organization's specific needs. My experience as a cybersecurity consultant prevents me from diving deep into pricing discussions, but licensing typically follows a device-based structure, factoring in firewall clusters and subscription options, with an estimated range of $50,000 to $100,000 for smaller deployments.

I find the price too expensive. It looks a bit like SAP, so it does have standard functionality out of the box, but you will spend a lot of money if you want to customize it. However, the price is not as extreme as SAP or Oracle, but the actual implementation does turn out to be expensive.

I know AlgoSec can be expensive. I've heard from some of the platform users who worked at other companies that wanted to use AlgoSec, but it wasn't within their budget. Large enterprises can use it if they have a huge network with several devices. It's worth the cost if they spend a lot of time auditing and dealing with security concerns. It pays off in the long run. You must pay for the basic AlgoSec license and the number of devices onboarded. There are licenses per firewall and network device. I believe you also must pay extra for firewalls with ActiveChange. I don't know the precise figures because I don't work with them, but I think they change.

We purchase licenses based on the number of security devices in our network. When I have active and standby firewalls, if I do an analysis of the active firewall and by mistake, I also do an analysis of the secondary or standby firewall, it'll consume two licenses from the total number of licenses I have. So, I need to change the license and make the active firewall secondary. They need to improve how they are counting the number of licenses. We have discussed this with the consultation team of AlgoSec.

I am a fan of AlgoSec for its pricing. As a small branch, getting any amount of money, is very difficult. Less than a thousand dollars, that will take some effort for two reasons: * Asking for money. * It wasn't in the budget. The price came in where we really didn't even need to have much of a discussion. That was very good. There are also options regarding what you want to pay for. It wasn't really pushed on me that I have to get all of it or else I can't be an AlgoSec customer. There are training and support levels that come in beyond the product itself, and we did subscribe to the training. We also have the support. The pricing has been very approachable, and that is why we have it here.

We are working with our finance department right now to be able to purchase it. The AlgoSec team is doing everything that they can in their power to get the costs down to where our budget is. They have worked a lot on it. They have cut the cost in half for us so far by questioning, "This is in the quote. Is this something that is actually needed?" They have pulled some stuff out and cut our costs down by 50% for the product itself.

I don't actually know what the pricing is. We had a quote to get some professional services done for a couple of weeks. From my perspective, the cost was reasonable. It was 30,000 AU dollars for a few weeks. For the business that was unreasonable because they were trying to cut costs. But I would have seen that as a reasonable price to put on a few weeks of PS.
I can’t say that this is a cheap system. It's affordable for large enterprises and, in some cases, for mid-sized companies. For the majority of other companies, this solution is out of their price range.
AlgoSec is not a cheap product. If I compare Firemon and AlgoSec, because I am also Firemon certified, Firemon is still cheaper in price than AlgoSec. That is another catch.

It is fair. For cloud environments, it can be expensive. The model adopted to use as licensing for the cloud environment should be reviewed since it sometimes can increase the value of the service/product in an unexpected way. For example, they should instead use the amount of instances, which should just take into consideration the number of Security Groups and ACLs.
Cost is based on firewall. There are bundles, e.g., virtual firewalls might make the solution cheaper. The licensing scheme should be done in a simpler way. For example, if we delete a firewall and want to add a new one, then the license doesn't get freed up automatically. You have to request a new license to customer support and install it. If you are testing new implementations, this can be cumbersome.

Initial setup was not that hard. Vendor did this for us. Licensing depends on how many firewalls your company has. They have license options for small to big customers depending on the network. Price is fair for Licensing and Product.
Licenses are provided by firewall and routers. Do not underestimate the number of routers because the price can be significantly reduced as you buy more licenses. Same if you go for more than one product (i.e. FireFlow, BusinessFlow)

Setup is easy; we use a VM to run it. Having knowledge in Linux is not a requirement but helps when required to update the software. Also, ensure the reseller has the ability to escalate any issues in case they can't fix it for you. Your licensing should cover the support of the product.

We also purchased AlgoSec's FireFlow tool. We have had challenges getting value from it, and it is because the scope of this tool is very broad compared to Analyzer. In hindsight, we should have created a formal project and management backing to ensure success with this tool.
