While I find the pricing somewhat higher compared to other options, it remains acceptable for now. I anticipate a growing demand for SD-WAN security in the future, particularly with Fortinet gaining popularity. I hope that the prices will become more competitive in subsequent releases, as the current pricing is perceived as somewhat elevated.

The solution is competitive. It's neither cheap nor expensive. The solution can be paid annually. If you use a cloud, you will have to pay for subscription charges.

Fortinet has the best pricing currently on the market. They are very competitive, especially if you are a preferred partner (which we are).

The solution is pretty reasonable in terms of price. I'd rate the affordability around seven or eight out of ten.

FortiManager isn't expensive, but its cost is dependent on which services are required. It has no extra or hidden fees.

On a scale from one to ten with one being the highest price and ten being the lowest price, I would rate FortiManager's price at three.

The pricing is quite reasonable. I can't speak to exact pricing as I don't handle the licensing aspects. In some cases, where customers have two or three devices, it comes for free.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. I do not have specific details about the licensing costs. Compared to competitors like Panorama, Fortinet FortiManager is cheaper.

When you are going for a massive FortiGate environment, the costs compared to your investment would be fine. However, if you're going for below ten devices, the cost will be a little bit high. You would have to justify the expense. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of availability.

We bought FortiManager as an option as we bought maybe five firewalls plus a license to FortiManager. The implementation site gave me only one price, which included both solutions. It was basically a package. It's moderately priced. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability.

The solution requires you to have a license for every device, as well as for any advanced features being used, which makes it costly for high-volume users. However, for a large-scale environment with a lot of customers we have found it to be a worthwhile investment.

The licenses that we purchased as part of the project were for three years. I don't remember the price anymore. I can't recall the monthly license fee. In any case, the licenses were purchased for three-year periods.

This is an affordable solution, and it's based on the number of devices. I did read that the licensing model has changed recently, but I'm not using the new licensing model.

The license model they use depends on the size and is not limited to the users.

Fortinet is a high-end product and the cost is high. They should consider reducing the price, especially for existing customers. If you want to add something or if you want to resubscribe, there should be some advantage given to the existing customers. In my opinion, in general, the prices are high.

There are features that come at a cost that is in addition to the standard license.

The licensing costs depend on how many devices you want to use. It's based on the licensing model and the number of devices you add to the system. The more devices you add to FortiManager, the more you need to pay. I am not aware of any additional costs.

Generally, what I know about the pricing is that Fortinet FortiManager is not expensive at all if you compare it with other vendors like Check Point and like Cisco. Fortinet products are the least expensive on the market in the category of firewalls.

Networks are constantly evolving due to threats, organizational growth, or new regulatory/business requirements. Traditional management products focus on mitigating company-wide threats through firewall policies, firmware updates, and keeping content security current. FortiManager offers the features to contain threats as well as providing flexibility to evolve along with your ever-changing network.
