It's like everything. If you look at the pricing, it sounds like a lot. If you look at the time it saves you and the fact that it repeatedly saves you that time, it pays for itself. That's what you want out of your tools. If they pay for themselves, you can easily justify them, even if they are expensive. Security architects are very expensive, and we're already doing more with less. Our team is smaller than it was a few years ago, and we have had fewer people doing threat modeling because we're getting more done with the tool.
