For a little guy like me, it is very cost-effective. I am able to have the tools of the enterprise networker on a pretty reasonable budget. The Insight management solution’s pricing helps to get people onboard because the first year is free. On bigger networks, you need to have clients who buy into managed services. If you don't, meaning someone is not going to buy managed services, then at $10 an access point, or whatever it is on a big network, I can't maintain that. However, for people who buy into having someone monitoring their network, it is at a reasonable price point. Maybe they could monetize it for a big network, not every single device, or make it a lower amount. For example, if you have six or seven NETGEAR devices, they should cut a break on how much it costs per device, because that is where it gets costly. When you have a NETGEAR switch, a NETGEAR router, and NETGEAR Access Point, you don't want to bring everything online because it cuts into the managed service fee, i.e., what you are charging the customer. I'm selling the customer on having network monitoring, but there has to be a happy medium. It can't be so expensive. Otherwise, NETGEAR loses and I lose. I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system, and I don't know about Ubiquiti and Meraki pricing. As far as partnering with me, they do a very good job.

Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples.

It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair. They have good, reasonable pricing, so I can pass that price difference onto my customers.
At NETGEAR, we turn ideas into innovative networking products that connect people, power businesses, and advance the way we live. Easy to use. Powerful. Smart. And designed just for you.
I think that the price of the product is reasonable.
My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs.
It is an expensive solution. I don't have to pay for any license because NETGEAR is not a necessary tool for my company.
Insight management's pricing is comparable to Aruba and okay.

The pricing seems to be reasonable.
