If one is an extremely expensive product, and ten is cheap, I rate the tool's price as a five. There are some other tools in the market that are more expensive than Cisco. There are no additional costs in addition to the tool's standard licensing fees.

The product is inexpensive compared to leading brands such as Palo Alto or Fortinet. It is cheaper than Palo Alto and comparable to Fortinet. It also depends on Cisco’s discount. Sometimes it's cheaper than Fortinet, sometimes it's more expensive.

We bought the appliance, which comes with a license as well. While I don't know the exact pricing, most of these products are through subscription. In our case, we bought the complete appliance with the software with it. It does not run with any Cisco item, as we have bought the entire appliance. The three-year warranty of the appliance is there. It does not contain any licenses except for the software license and the hardware licenses which are a part of it. It's a three-year contract which we have bought.
