In our evaluation, two years ago, we found the Field Effect Covalence product and service to be the simplest to set up and pricing was lower than the other competitors.

Field Effect is fairly priced from my perspective. You get a lot of bang for the buck with this and a level of visibility that provides you with greater peace of mind knowing that the system is carefully monitored. You also have automated responses for known malicious behavior at any time of the day. Someone could have their Office 365 mailbox compromised at 2 in the morning on a Saturday when most people are asleep or not paying attention, and the system can prevent an issue in an automated way.

It is a little pricey. It is a little on the high end, but we are continuing to use it. We signed the contract and have not canceled, so we find value in having it.

The pricing is fair and reasonable. Covalence stands out for its focus on catering to the needs of SMBs, making it a more cost-effective choice in comparison to competitors. It offers flexibility by not imposing minimum user requirements and can accommodate even small businesses with just two users.
The shift to a per-user pricing model and the introduction of a base price for the on-premises or virtual appliance has been particularly advantageous. This pricing structure aligns well with the needs of almost all my clients, especially smaller companies, eliminating the challenges associated with block pricing.

The licensing model itself is solid, but we're ironing out some inconsistencies in how customer profiles are configured. This is particularly relevant in a user-based model, where company headcount might be low while actual user counts are higher due to contractors or remote workers. It creates a gray area about which users get billed, but we're actively discussing solutions with Field Effect.
Field Effect is considering revising its agreement terms. While the contract duration might change, the pricing remains highly attractive. In some cases, it's half the price of competing products, and at high volume, it can be as much as 50 percent less than CrowdStrike, for example. Covalence offers even greater efficiency and functionality, making it a more effective product with wider capabilities than its competitors. Combined with the significantly lower price, it becomes an extremely compelling option.
While Field Effect Covalence's pricing seems competitive for the market, the biggest hurdle lies in the lack of dedicated security budgets within many organizations. Convincing these companies to allocate further IT expenditure specifically for security can be tough. They often struggle to justify adding another line item when they're already paying for individual security tools. This fragmented approach can leave them without a comprehensive monitoring system, which ultimately is the most critical need. So, the primary challenge isn't the price point, but rather helping companies understand the value proposition of a holistic security solution and how it complements their existing infrastructure. Once that hurdle is cleared, the current pricing of Field Effect Covalence appears reasonable.

Pricing was initially a concern, but the recent updates have resolved that by offering a more accessible buying cost.

It's worth the price. If you are paying $2000 a year to have this setup, it can save millions of dollars along with your company's reputation.
The price is in accordance with the provided services.
It is quite reasonable for the rich feature set we receive.

Field Effect Covalence's pricing is just right.

The pricing isn't sized, so Field Effect doesn't make it easy for anything under 25 users. I'm not crazy about that.

I'm not really involved in the pricing.
Covalence is cost-effective.
The cost of the solution is high.
