My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is generally in line with what you would expect for an enterprise cloud security and CASB platform. Licensing can become complex depending on the number of users, integrations, data protection requirements, and other features. From a setup perspective, the biggest investment was not necessarily in the platform deployment itself, but the time required for policy design, governance alignment, integration planning, and operational tuning, for example. The organization should be prepared for ongoing operational effort related to policy optimization, alert tuning, and governance management after the deployment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was not too bad. I do not know the figures, but it was not as painful as it could have been, and I think it was reasonable. I was not involved in the negotiations because they can always be painful.

I am not sure about the pricing of Skyhigh Security, as the licensing piece is taken care of by another department, so I am not really sure about that.
The pricing varies depending on factors such as requirements and the management. While it may not be the cheapest option, it's generally reasonable for what it offers. Ultimately, the cost depends on the deal and the level of service required.
Pricing for Skyhigh Security is okay, though there's always a scope for price improvements. Its pricing is okay compared to other products because other products have very expensive licensing costs. Along with the licensing, support is also provided for Skyhigh Security, so pricing is reasonable, but if there's proactive or better support, that will justify the pricing. I haven't interacted with the Skyhigh Security technical support team yet, so I'd give pricing a four out of five rating for now.

There is an annual licensing cost to use McAfee Web Gateway. The purchasing of licensing can be difficult for the government sector. There should be a hybrid form of a license model. For example, if I have a user working remotely and another one on-premise, it would be wonderful to have control in the cloud and on-premise.
Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly. We don't have any customers that are using subscriptions yet. I wouldn't say that it is an expensive solution but it's not cheap. We pay for what it's worth.

The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges.
The pricing is good and the licensing is straightforward. I'd rate the affordability nine out of ten.

Compared to other solutions and their prices, it is a bit on the costly side. However, it is not out of reach. Our customers pay a yearly license.
