The solution is cost-competitive with other firewall solutions, but it doesn’t scale down for smaller environments from a cost perspective. Large organizations can justify the cost of NSX via a firewall refresh. What I would do to make it better: Make it less expensive for small installs. There’s even a version for non-vSphere environment that supports Open vSwitch (OVS). Best of all, NSX integrates with the most popular virtualization platform on the market.
