This tool helps you estimate the number of Cortex XDR licenses you need based on your organization’s usage.
How to Use the Cortex XDR Estimator
Enter the required parameters into the fields provided. Click the “Calculate” button to see an estimate of the total cost. The following parameters are considered in the estimation:
- Number of Endpoints: The total number of endpoints to be protected.
- Concurrent Licenses: The number of concurrent licenses you need.
- Data Retention Days: The number of days data needs to be retained.
- Threat Intel Packages: The number of threat intelligence packages.
- Integration Points: The number of integration points you require.
- Support Plan: Choose from Basic (1), Advanced (2), Premium (3).
Explanation of Calculations
The calculator uses the following formula for cost estimation:
- Base Cost: $50 per endpoint.
- Concurrent Licenses Cost: $20 per concurrent license.
- Data Retention Cost: $5 per retention day.
- Threat Intel Packages Cost: $100 per package.
- Integration Points Cost: $200 per integration point.
- Support Multiplier: Depending on the support plan selected – Basic (1.1), Advanced (1.3), Premium (1.5).
The total cost is the sum of all costs, multiplied by the support plan multiplier.
Limitations
The calculator provides an estimate and should be used for indicative purposes only. The actual cost may vary based on additional factors such as discounts, promotions, or specific circumstances not considered in this estimator.
