When ordering Cisco ASA and SSL VPN we need to put extra SKUs which are highly priced . Lets say I want to add a 100 user SSL VPN ( web based ) licnese to my ASA 5515 then the price would go way high .
Someone told me that if I go with a fortigate device then we only need to purcahse the box ( firewall ) and SSL vpn licenses would come builtin on it and is not user based . Lets say the device has xyz processing capablites then it would be handling xyz numbers of SSL VPN session .
It looks like Fortigate is way cheaper than Cisco and other vendors when it comes to licnesing then - Please provide comments and share experience .
