Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Volume-based subscription / capacity licensing (flow-rate or data-ingest-based). Cisco Secure Network Analytics (on-prem and cloud variants) uses licensed units based on network flow rate (flows/sec or flow buckets) and/or GB-per-day data plans for logging/ingest; required components include Manager, Flow Collector, Flow Sensors, and optional Data Store. Cisco lists license SKUs and flow-rate bands rather than public list prices.
Free tier/trial: Secure Cloud Analytics (SaaS) and Secure Logging Analytics (SaaS) offer time-limited trials; on-prem Secure Network Analytics (Security Analytics & Logging) can run in Evaluation Mode for 90 days.
License terms / common units: Subscription terms commonly offered in 1-, 3-, or 5-year terms for flow-rate licenses; Secure Logging Analytics data plans are sold in 1 GB/day increments and offered in 1-, 3-, or 5-year terms. Cisco provides flow-rate license bands (examples shown below) rather than dollar list prices.
Example SKUs / bands (from Cisco ordering/EOL and licensing docs):
- Flow-rate subscription / license bands (examples): L-ST-FR-1Y-S1 / S2 / ... up to S13 representing ranges such as 100–499, 500–2,499, 2,500–4,999, 5,000–9,999, 10,000–24,999, 25,000–49,999, 50,000–99,999, 100,000–249,999, 250,000–499,999, 500,000–999,999, 1M–2,499,999, 2.5M–4,999,999, 5M+ (Cisco SKU groups shown on Cisco product/EoL pages).
- Ordering components: Manager appliances (e.g., SMC/Manager hardware SKUs), Flow Collectors (ST-FCxxxx), Flow Sensors (ST-FSxxxx), Data Store clusters for large retention needs.
Public list prices: Cisco does not publish dollar list prices for Secure Network Analytics on public product pages; purchase is typically handled via Cisco sales, partners, or Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW). For SaaS logging, Cisco documents data-plan units and trial availability but not public per-GB prices.
Discounts / purchasing programs: Cisco Security Enterprise Agreement (EA) and term/volume discounts (Big Deal/volume discounts) available through Cisco sales/partners; specific discounts and final pricing require contacting Cisco or an authorized partner.
Notes / caveats:
- Cisco provides a 90-day Evaluation Mode for on-prem Security Analytics & Logging (no license required for 90 days) per product docs.
- Secure Cloud Analytics is promoted with a free trial (Cisco At-a-Glance and product pages). Secure Logging Analytics (SaaS for ASA devices) documents a 30-day trial for its SaaS logging offering and data plans in 1 GB/day increments.
- Cisco publishes license SKUs and flow-rate bands on product and ordering/EoL pages, but not public dollar amounts; list prices are not available on Cisco.com and customers must contact Cisco sales or partners for quotes.
