Palo Alto Networks' pricing can be complex. Their catalog is extensive. They have a licensing model based on credits for virtual machine firewalls or containers, which simplifies the process, while the hardware firewall pricing is more complicated.

Regarding cost, I would say that it's a single feature on the platform. So it's a license-based solution. It's not a platform. The pricing of the solution depends on the buyers. But, from my point of view, it is in line with the rest of the products and the price list of Palo Alto. With the things that Palo Alto has put in the solution, they have created a bundle. So at the moment,this approach is not the most preferred, especially in South Africa anymore. Because when I sell it, then all the features altogether could be free. I don't have the price of DLP only. I have the cost of the bundle. In the past, the prices were higher than others. But at the moment, it's in line with the other vendors. And it's even cheaper than other vendors. When we consider Palo Alto Networks, we get all the advantages of an enterprise solution. So at the moment, I had cases when I tried to bid against other vendors, I was able to offer much lesser prices than the other vendors.
