Web filtering - Basic pricing

[bodminman]

I want to give our Bursary a budget price for our web filtering renewal/replacement so that he is prepared for when I come cap in hand in 11 months time. I know it's a long way off but he's not bothered as long as he's got a 'rough' figure.

 

Why don't the leading vendors publish a basic pricing structure so that I don't have to make contact with you and therefore end up with endless sales calls/letters/emails!

 

Rant over!!!

Are you looking for just filtering, replacing a whole firewall solution, virtual or physical appliance?

I just got a smooth wall s8 appliance 3.5 years 1000 users. Came in around £11k.

Before that we had a watch guard xtm850 3 years subscription services at £13k ish.

Got a quote for some dns based filtering, came in at £18k for 3 years.

Just filtering. We're currently using Lightspeed which is great and cost us £4k for 3 years.

 

We're a relatively small place with 500 users including staff and pupils and don't mind if it's physical or virtual.
