The cost of the Radware solution is reasonable and stable. I don't have detailed pricing information, but it is considered optimal for the performance provided.

The Radware team we work with always gives us the best price. As a university, our budget is limited. We need something that is the best solution but with a low or economical pricing. We are getting a better price than competitors. The shift from Barracuda to Alteon was primarily due to cost efficiency. It is very economical, and the price fits our business needs.

Our government agency opted for Radware Alteon due to its affordability and efficiency. While I can't say precisely how much it costs the organization, the price per device. In India, we always look for affordable products, so I assume Alteon is cost-effective because the government chose it.
Alteon is more cost-effective than other solutions. We have the Global Elastic License, which offers self-service. Cost-effectiveness is critical for any customer. I have worked on the hardware, software, and cloud versions. The hardware version performs well, but the total costs are high compared to the software version. You can deploy the software on the server based on the requirements for core size, RAM, etc., but the server has some lag.

We have a three-year contract with Radware. It is beneficial to have a longer-term contract because you can obtain more discounts. It seems to be a much cheaper alternative. We use their Gel Elastic License (GEL). It allows us to integrate what we need. With this licensing model, we have a lower cost for using Alteon in our company. Radware does not force us to use everything but only what we really need for our operations. That's why it is quite good. We have saved about 15 percent using the Gel Elastic License, which is actually quite a lot.

The price conforms to what the tool provides. It is not an inexpensive tool and not all companies can afford an ADC solution such as Alteon. However, it justifies its price with the options it offers. And there are no additional costs other than the standard rates, renewal, and maintenance.

It is the best in the industry. It was better than the competition, and that is what made us go ahead with them. In any product, we look for features and functionalities, product support, management connection, and pricing.
Its pricing is very good. It is very competitive. Radware Alteon is the leader in the market. At a lesser price, we get a good product and also good support. Other vendors who provide load balancers charge separately for two items. You have the hardware cost, and you have the support cost, whereas, in the case of Radware, you get both in a single package. We got a margin of up to 25% on the product. We got support almost free of cost. It was a very good deal with Radware. It was a win-win situation at both ends.

Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place.

I'm content with Alteon's pricing. The licensing is a little bit complicated because it's based on how much bandwidth you want to use, what the throughput is. Instead of having a throughput limit, it just allows whatever the bandwidth is and bases the licensing on vADCs (virtual application delivery controllers) only. That makes it a little bit complicated.
The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better. But the pricing is competitive with, or cheaper than, the other solutions out there. We don't use the GEL (Global Elastic License yet, but we will be moving to it soon.
Licensing cost depends on customer requirements. The on-prem solution requires a license plus warranty. The cloud version is subscription-based license. I think AppWall is cheaper relative to its competitors.

The implementation and running costs are quite high.

It is not the priciest and it is not the cheapest. For our solution, it was right in the middle of price performance.

It is cost-efficient. That is why we have gone with Alteon. As a product, it is efficient and robust. We have not faced any issues with the device.
Alteon is priced competitively with F5, but F5 does much more marketing in this country.

We tend to choose solutions based on the Gartner Quadrant. It fits into that while also being cost-effective.

Radware is a very budget-friendly device. It is not too expensive.
I cannot comment on licensing costs as I am not very knowledgeable about them.

We have four licenses for 21 applications. The pricing isn't too bad.
