I rate the solution price a four to five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, since it is an affordable tool. There are no additional costs to be paid apart from the standard licensing costs attached to the solution.

The licensing costs for Avi Networks Software Load Balancer are really variable. The product can be sold from a bandwidth utilization perspective. It can be sold from a per CPU perspective, depending on if you're looking at on-premises or hyperscale environments. Licensing costs vary quite a bit if you're familiar with the AWS Calculator, where you can see that it can widely vary per licensing model. On a scale of one to five, with one being not very good value for the money and five being great, I would rate the pricing for Avi Networks Software Load Balancer a five because its pricing is extremely competitive. Not all features are included with the license, for example, there's single licensing.

I also want to test their add-on product and see how easily we can actually integrate it and see if it is worth it, because the price factor is great with Avi Networks. If you're buying a bigger F5 it costs around $1 million dollars, and you can only use it for one data center. With Avi Networks, you can buy a 10-Gig license and, if your primary data center goes down, in the flick of a switch you can move that license to your backup data center and it will generate the traffic. So you don't have to have a box for this data center and another box in a different data center. So there are a lot of cost-effective measures.

The tool is expensive. It is not cheap. The product must be cheaper.

I'm not sure of the exact licensing costs.
I cannot comment on pricing as a different department handles it.
